FOCAL is a full-service architecture, planning and design practice focused on creating beautiful and meaningful work for clients driven by mission and purpose. We are guided by a generalist approach to practice and design founded in Research, developed with Rigor and resulting in Precision.  We are intentional with quantity and scale of projects we have under contract at any given time, allowing us to be intently focused on our current client’s goals.  This approach allows to deliver designs that are distilled and refined to their essential qualities and, affords us opportunities across a wide range of scales an project types. 

We understand excellence as the result of a rigorous design process and valued input from multiple voices and hands. Active and collaborative engagement between client, architect, consultant, builder, and maker is critical to any successful project and no singular hand is seen as responsible for the whole. Similarly, the design process within our office is not a top-down formula. We work in an open studio environment where ideas can originate from anyone and all projects are open to discussion and critique. Everyone is invested in everything.
