Our diverse practice has always had a singular focus – to create places that inspire and that stand the test of time while meeting each of our client's specific needs in unique ways. BAR Architects brings a reputation for excellence in architectural design for over 50 years.
With offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles, we work across California and the world. Our studio environment combined with large firm resources fosters collaboration and encourages creative thinking while our size and diversity of practice offers broad opportunities for professional development. Current projects encompass a variety of markets including mixed-use and multifamily housing, hospitality, arts & entertainment, higher education, commercial and custom homes.
Published in numerous publications, newspapers and books including Architectural Digest, SF Business Times, SF Chronicle, and NY Times, previous accolades include the Firm Award from the AIA California Council and a Presidential Award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Whether it’s our award-winning projects, our philanthropic work or our formidable softball team, we’re a group that knows how to work hard and play hard. We value our professional contributions and approach design seriously, yet we promote a healthy work-life balance and foster a broader sense of community for all our employees.
Visible in our office, the passion for our work also extends beyond our doors to the broader profession and community. Assisting in a neighborhood revitalization, participating in USGBC and the AIA’s Committee on the Environment (COTE) to ongoing pro-bono endeavors including designing a school disaster-ravaged Haiti, start to give you an understanding of our definition of community.
