emar Studio for Public Architecture is a practice that takes to heart a primary driver of successful design: the reconciliation of often contradictory demands into a single, well-resolved solution. Our work seeks to build community projects that exceed expectations, resulting in facilities of a quality that members of those communities may not have known they wanted or needed.

For over 25 years, the firm's Principal, Erik Mar, has successfully designed projects for the public sector, integrating environmental responsibility with social, financial, functional and aesthetic concerns.
