 We are a full service, POC/women owned architecture and design practice located in Oakland, California.


Active Rest: It's a bus stop, a meeting place, a place of introverted meditation or extroverted performance, an urban fort, a test of grappling finger strength. Above all, it is a prototype for a new type of urban object that can be quickly adapted, fabricated and deployed to activate a city streetscape.
