Based in Los Angeles, Synthesis Design + Architecture is an architecture and planning practice that pursues innovative, research-informed design. The firm holds architectural licenses in California, Arizona, and Colorado and has completed international projects in Thailand, China, Italy, and the United Kingdom. It works across scales, blending technology, performance, and craft to explore the relationships between form, structure, and skin, and it has earned multiple awards for its work. Its client engagements target projects that challenge conventions and contribute to contemporary design discourse through computational approaches and material experimentation. The practice positions itself as a design-research-oriented studio that integrates theoretical inquiry with built form. In 2017, the firm partnered with IBM to design an interior feature wall for the Watson Experience Center in San Francisco, illustrating collaboration at the intersection of technology and design.
