About Studio O+A
Studio O+A are a design studio based in San Francisco.
Our central idea is that every client has a story and that a work environment is a great vehicle for telling it. When we’re doing our initial programming on a project, we get all the basics—the headcounts, the distances, the adjacencies and so on—but we also want to know how this company got rolling, who the people are, what they like to do.
We think of this process as good design—and we apply it to every service we offer: commercial interiors, branding, environmental graphics, tenant improvements, design consulting.
We’re excited about what’s happening in the design world—and thrilled to be a part of setting the agenda.
