Last week we hosted a ‘Brady Street Visioning’ workshop in our San Francisco Studio. We invited neighbors and community members to give input on improvements they’d like to see on our block (Brady Street between Otis and Colton Street).

Our studio sits within ‘The Hub’—a neighborhood currently being revitalized—and we’re hoping to make updates to our street in the future. Stay tuned for more!

We had a great time rolling up our sleeves and building kitchen cabinets to complete the renovation for our awesome client Friends of the Children – SF Bay Area! The work that this national organization does in providing long-term, one-on-one mentors to the most vulnerable children in our communities is powerfully transformative.

Yesterday’s Southeast Community College Multidisciplinary Classroom Building groundbreaking celebrated the start of a high-performance campus hub designed to retain students, provide flexible learning space, and promote collaboration.

Excited to see this project’s impact on the City of Beatrice, Nebraska.
