We are a small woman-owned architectural practice based in Oakland and The Sea Ranch, California.

We are inspired by the abundant examples in nature of adaptation, resilience, and good design. Take trichomes, those subtle epidermal outgrowths on plants, serving myriad functions and evolved and adapted over time as responses to help plants thrive in their unique environments. Buildings, like trichomes, when built and designed well reflect and respond to the needs of their occupants, as healthy places supporting healthy lives.

We aspire to take these cues from nature and the plant world, listening, adapting and translating your needs into optimal, inviting, healthy spaces.
