What We Do

Residential Architecture

Designing and building a home can be an overwhelming experience. That’s where Urban Building Workshop can help. We are a full-service residential architecture firm based in San Francisco and serving the entire Bay Area.

We find elegant solutions to any challenge and involve you in the design process to create a home that represents who you are.

Commercial Architecture

Our 25 years of construction and development experience gives us a considerable advantage in the commercial market. It provides us with real-time cost feedback, allowing us to value-engineer during the design process — when it matters the most. 

We start with a fit study or feasibility analysis to help the client determine the right program for their project. From there, our architects design an efficient project that meets the market and the budget. 

We also have vast hands-on experience interpreting zoning codes across Northern California. This allows us to guide clients through a number of important design decisions.

On projects that require entitlements, our architects will lead the entire team of designers and consultants to successfully obtain the required approvals.
