Studio BBA is a dynamic atelier of designers who advocate for architecture that inspires human connection—creating spaces and places from the alchemy of inspiration, site, materials, vision and form. The rich set of conditions, agendas and real-life constraints that come with each project makes this an artful process, as does our belief that a symbiosis between circumstance and desire leads to original and compelling design.
The collaborative nature of our studio enhances the design process and nourishes meaningful connections with our clients, project teams and the craftspeople who build our work. We thrive when working with clients who have interesting and demanding programs and a passion for what will happen in their space—providing opportunities to deepen the design language and innovate as we guide each project’s development.
We bring vision, skilled management, a value for design excellence and a gift for strong interpersonal connection to our project teams and diverse practice areas, which include restaurants, community spaces, private residences and offices, and a range of services including architecture, interior design and master planning. We believe it is our professional obligation to be environmentally intelligent and responsible, bringing a sustainable perspective and proficiency in energy-efficient building systems to every project.
Designer, assoc. AIA
Tara joined our studio full time in Winter 2020. After years working at a large firm she was ready to commit to design-forward, intimately detailed architecture that supports human connection. Tara’s calm presence, keen abilities in both left- and right-brain thinking, and mastery of digital tools (she was a core team member of SFO Terminal 1, Boarding Area B project) enrich all aspects of our studio culture and work. She is the rare combination of both thoughtful and thorough and we are excited for the stabilizing and centering energy she brings to Studio BBA’s work.
