Studio
Think, design and build — the three middle steps of the process, and the firm's own tagline.
Where it sits
- Measure
- Think
- Design
- Build
- Verify
What that means
- Think
- Strategy, policy and code. The work that happens before there is a project: reading a site or a district, arguing what should change and why, and testing it against what a city can actually approve and fund. Technical assistance panels, downtown studies, zoning and housing advisory. Some of it ends in a building; much of it ends in a decision someone else carries out.
- Design
- Architecture, urban design, public space, mobility and developments. The scale moves from a house to a district, and the work holds together because the question is the same at every scale: what should this ground produce, for whom, and under what conditions.
- Build
- Documentation, levels, drainage, planting, phasing — the stage where an argument becomes a set of drawings a contractor can price and build. It is where most proposals quietly lose what made them worth doing, so it is the stage we keep.

The practice works across Buenos Aires, Boise and San Francisco, in Spanish and English, and hires per project when a commission needs licensure or capacity we do not keep on staff.
