We are an architecture and design studio based in Oakland, California. Our experience ranges from residential remodels to commercial and community projects sited across the Bay Area. We are a multi-faceted design team coming from architectural backgrounds with diverse experience in education, psychology, non-profit development, finance, construction, and performance art. Because we have such a wide range of skills, we believe that we bring a more holistic approach to our work as designers. We enjoy a collaborative design process amongst our design team as well as between client and architect. In music, the word timbre describes an unmeasurable quality of sound that makes it unique. The the visual realm lacks a synonymous word; all descriptions of space are measureable attributes such as volume, height, and adjacency. We are interested in exploring these qualities - the experiential aspect of space; the unique sensation that a person has when they inhabit a building that they are not necessarily conscious of.
