Info

Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Ohashi Design Studio is an architecture and interior design firm. We are best known for our design of residences, commercial and retail spaces. Drawn from the uniqueness of each project and client, Ohashi Design Studio creates buildings and spaces for living that are beautiful, elegant, and timeless. The basis for our buildings is rooted in modernism, and in our love for and appreciation of new materials and construction methods. We bring to each task a contemporary Japanese aesthetic that emphasizes the values of clarity and simplicity, contrasted with our personal interest in complexity and the unknown. Design is a problem-solving endeavor. Often, we find it to be a puzzle with many constraints and one simply elegant solution. We work hard to find that solution: the one that melts away all concerns, and in which there remains an uncluttered and simple visual space for living, working, and playing. Aligned with this problem-solving exercise, we also guide our clients through the maze of regulatory issues, budget concerns, structural requirements, material profusion and functional needs, ultimately helping them arrive at a place of ease and clarity. As a small-sized firm of six architects and design professionals, we have the ability to provide hands-on, principal involvement from start to finish. We listen to the wishes and concerns of every client, and through many conversations we make each project the clear embodiment of their dreams.
