About Us

10 years of Production Partnerships

No-office Studio began by chance.

It started with an unexpected invitation to Genoa, Italy: to serve as a healthcare design expert on the first-ever healthcare project by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop: a children’s hospice in the trees.

That pivotal role shaped the beginning of the No-office Studio approach to architectural support: an approach to architectural support that values expertise, collaboration, and impact.

No-office Studio is passionate about the built environment. We like to help other designers execute their projects, and we genuinely enjoy learning the different ways that other designers operate.

Who we are

Your Support Team is made of 3 friends, dedicated to quality production and beautiful design.

No-office Studio is well versed in the big picture ideas, international construction best practices, detail drawings, etc.

We are passionate about design history, progressive technologies, and social purpose.

What We Do

  • Architectural documentation & production:

  • Design development & detailing:
    Layouts, sections, millwork, finishes, and coordination that protect design intent.

  • Concept development & feasibility:
    Early-phase studies, diagrams, and code-aware planning to test ideas before they scale.

  • Visualization & presentation support:
    Render-ready drawings and visual packages for approvals, marketing, and sales.

  • ADA & accessibility review:
    Inclusive design guidance that integrates accessibility thoughtfully and intelligently.

  • Flexible collaboration models
    Short-term production support or long-term partnership, tailored to your workflow.
