A Moment to Celebrate!

Happy to share that UC Berkeley Infant Childcare Center has received a Citation Award for Interior Architecture at the 2026 AIA East Bay Design Awards!

A huge congratulations to Rita, Leif, and Liz, whose creativity, dedication, and collaborative spirit brought this simple project to life.

With our team gathering in San Francisco for our office retreat next week, this recognition gives us one more wonderful reason to come together and celebrate.

A heartfelt thank you to our client, UC Berkeley, AIA East Bay for this honor, and our project collaborators—W.E. Lyons Construction Co., Degenkolb Engineers, Interface Engineering, Groundworks Office, and McGinnis Chen Associates—for their contributions to this project.

From blue and gold to Valkyries violet!

It’s exciting to see Chase Center, a venue we’re proud to have been part of the design team, embrace a new era of basketball with the Golden State Valkyries.

As a women-led architecture firm - and huge basketball fans - seeing this incredible space become a stage for women’s basketball makes it even more meaningful.

Great architecture brings people together, celebrates community, and makes room for new stories. And when it comes to empowering women, the more color, the better!

Here’s to breaking barriers, making history, and painting the court purple!

From concept to camera — something exciting is taking shape. Here’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what’s been happening in the studio.

We’ve been busy bringing ideas, projects, and voices together for a competition submission envisioning the future of San Francisco.

Stay tuned….

This was such an interesting adaptive reuse project: converting two UC Berkeley student housing units into one infant childcare center to serve 22 children from ages three and twenty-four months.  
 
We asked the questions: How can a supportive childcare environment set the stage for joy and discovery? How can color and form play a role? How can design make a difference?  
 
So… we’re incredibly excited to share that the project has been named one of two finalists for the 2026 AIA East Bay Design Awards for Interiors! Being recognized alongside such talented firms and projects is always an honor. 
 
We’re spreading the news and getting ready to celebrate together.  
 
Winners will be announced at the 18th Annual Design Awards Gala on October 22 at the David Brower Center in Berkeley. 
 
We’ll be there with our team — wish us luck!

The Bauhaus’s radical ideas about art, architecture, craft, and everyday life continue to shape the way we think about design more than a century later.

Recent news of vandalism at the Bauhaus in Weimar is a troubling reminder that this extraordinary legacy is not something we can take for granted. Buildings, artworks, and ideas survive because we continue to value, protect, question, and engage with them.

In February, we participated in A Bauhaus Bathroom, a design competition for a public restroom at Gropius House in historic New England, approaching a decidedly everyday program through the lens of a place with an extraordinary architectural history.

A small intervention is an opportunity to consider how the principles and provocations of a legacy and site can remain part of contemporary life.

We share a few images from our proposal: the site, and our design explorations for The Bauhaus Bathroom. We thank our collaborators: Amy Eliot and Lemon Brooke.

We were thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of the Gene Friend Recreation Center this month, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a community already bringing the new spaces to life. 
 
This was a terrific collaboration! We enjoyed working with our JV partners at Mark Cavagnaro Associates, as well the with the City of San Francisco’s DPW and BOLA. 
 
Seeing children playing, neighbors gathering, and the building filled with activity is the best way to celebrate a project designed around community, connection, and play. 
 
We’re incredibly proud to have been part of the team that brought this new neighborhood resource to life—and grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. 
 
Here’s to many happy years of play, gathering, and community at Gene Friend!

A little more polished than usual, but still unmistakably us.
Today our San Francisco team took “dressing up” as an opportunity to express a bit more of who we are. Different styles, different personalities, one team.
We believe great design starts with authenticity and that includes how we show up.
Here’s to creativity, individuality, and the people who make our studio what it is.
