BAR Architects & Interiors is an award-winning, full-service architectural and interior design firm with collaborating studios in San Francisco and Los Angeles. We specialize in custom homes and estates, multi-family residential, and hospitality commissions as well as educational and cultural commissions. Recognized for our design excellence, in-depth technical knowledge honed by experience, and our ability to foster a collaborative design process with our clients and consultants, we have received over 180 design awards, including a Presidential Citation and California Firm of the Year award by the American Institute of Architects.
Our approach is rooted in the pursuit of a meaningful connection between a building and its site, a deep understanding of the aspirational vision and values of our clients, and the rigorous exploration of ideas. An ethos of contemporary sensibility and contextual sensitivity aligns each of our projects to this moment and to its unique locale. We are further guided by our own passion for the craft of building, the richness of natural materials and palettes, and creating spaces and forms that inspire, evoke, and delight. Committed to promoting wellness, sustainability, equity, and resilience, we have demonstrated that conscientious design results in smarter, healthier, longer-lasting, and more effective buildings.
