Who We Are
The Studio W Architects team is a collaborative network of creative professionals. With three offices across California, we operate as ONE TEAM—one studio and one profit center-with shared resources and leadership to ensure the support and success of our projects.
As a mid-size practice, we are able to enjoy the intimacy of a small, boutique firm, while also being able to realize the resources, career mobility and profitability of a large firm. We work on significant projects that allow for design opportunity, complex problem solving and personal growth potential.
