Karin Payson architecture + design, based in San Francisco, California, is a small architecture and design practice established in 1992. It handles a mix of private and publicly funded projects, partnering with clients to expand, remodel, or build new facilities. The firm emphasizes disciplined architectural inquiry, letting the site and the clients' needs guide solutions rather than a fixed stylistic approach, and it seeks to integrate landscape and natural light through clear spatial organization to produce spaces that are elegant and sensible.

Its work spans urban and rural contexts, from interiors to complete buildings, and it highlights the environmental and personal-comfort implications of design by connecting spaces to their setting and bringing the outdoors inside through light, views, and outdoor rooms. The firm also guides clients in selecting materials and mechanical systems that meet needs and enhance the sense of place.
