Cultural

Studio West's cultural projects celebrate art, cultural heritage, and civic life through the creation of thoughtfully considered place-based designs. Our process begins with thorough community outreach, research, and collaboration with key stakeholders to deliver meaningful design solutions that are inclusive, historically minded, and welcoming to all.
