Openscope Studio

OpenScope Studio is a full-service architectural practice in San Francisco specializing in smart solutions to complex design problems. The firm works across multiple project types and scales, including urban infill development, transitional housing, park pavilions, commercial interiors, and custom homes. OpenScope guides its work through design, craft, functionality, and feasibility, approaching each project by first understanding the technical challenges of the site or program to uncover opportunities and possibilities.

The studio offers services throughout a project's lifecycle, from initial consultation and feasibility studies through schematic design, design development, construction documents, bid review, permitting, and construction observation. Additional services include review assistance for multifamily housing projects, temporary and early activation projects, and pre-purchase building reviews for clients considering existing multifamily properties for upgrades or accessory dwelling unit additions. OpenScope typically uses standard AIA contracts and is willing to contract separately for individual project phases as needed.
