The SA.Studio Ethos

Opening our doors in January 2000, we began with a mission to create meaningful architecture that responds to its local environment. Our approach has always been to include the client as an integral part of the design team. We believe this approach develops equity in the success of each project and allows us to reach the best design solution.

Over the past two decades, this mission and philosophy remain our guiding principles. We have evolved to become a comprehensive architectural, planning and design firm with project successes spanning from coast to coast. 

Our specialties include Religious Places of Worship, Historic Preservation, Cultural Centers, Museum Design and Planning, Healthcare, Commercial / Retail, Offices, Restaurants, Education, and Civic / Government facilities.
