As Architecture is a full service design firm that operates at the intersection of architecture and real estate development. We seek to not only add financial value for our clients but add value to cities, neighborhoods and users by making great spaces and places for people. Our approach begins with the entire development process in mind; with social, cultural, technological, practical and financial issues integrated into our design process. Our design methodology stems from a system based approach where through thoughtful space planning, the reduction of parts, and the creation of repeatable modules and components, we can achieve lower construction costs while creating a higher quality product. Our approach integrates the support of the local communities in which we work. We believe in having an inclusive dialog where multiple stakeholders participate throughout the design process. This process leads to better designed places and creates more enjoyable spaces, environments, and experiences. This inclusive dialog further extends into working closely with contractors, engineers and crafts people to achieve the highest quality architecture and products. As Architecture is located in Oakland California with projects currently in California, Oregon and Florida.
