As participants in Chairity 2019, we used our design skills to give back to our community. We took two used chairs and transformed them into something completely new; they were then auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting local non-profits. Here's a look at the transformation of both chairs.

Inspired by the iconic Painted Ladies of Alamo Square we hand-built three Victorian’s at a fraction of the cost for our holiday video.

As architects, our tools often feel like an extension of ourselves. Here we show a playful take on what we do and how through a cast of otherwise inanimate objects. Check out the video to see what makes us tick, beyond coffee and darts! Stop motion by Glorimar Irizarry Delgado and Brenna Daugherty Music by Glorimar Irizarry Delgado
The crisp, pure sunlight of California’s wine region sparked the concept for this century-old former hay barn–a contemplation on light–while the context of the surrounding vineyards and site-specific art installations challenged us to provocatively transform the structure for uses including community gatherings, family dinners, and fitness. The barn’s wood-slatted shell screens sunbeams, creating ever-changing patterns on the new concrete floors. Internal illumination turns the barn into a lantern at night. Two new opposing glass volumes with mirrored-walls reflect both the spaces within, as well as the outdoors. Standing in the space, you feel an expansiveness as the reflective interior yields to the infinite views of the surrounding vineyards, gardens, old-growth trees, and wildlife beyond the barn walls. General Contractor: Centric Structural Engineer: GFDS Engineers Lighting Designer: Eric Johnson Landscape Architect: Steve Arns Photographer: Matthew Millman
We created a festive, illustrated stop motion video to commemorate our 20th Anniversary. Happy New Year and cheers to another great year!
We opened our doors this summer for a Tacos + Tequila themed happy hour. Darts, hoops and tech-themed demos were also on the menu. We hope to see you at a future event! Video and music by Glorimar Irizarry Delgado Stop motion by Glorimar Irizarry Delgado and Brenna Daugherty
For our inaugural SF Design Week event, we invited design lovers to join us for coffee and bagels, and promised to answer to all their burning questions about architecture. Our partner and principal Jim Westover talked about office culture, projects and opportunities. And job captains Parvathy Nair and Gustavo Bermudez shared advances in tech with 3D printer and 360° demos. Check out the video for an insider’s view!
