Studio BANAA is a San Francisco based architecture firm that creates spaces where neighborhoods gather, stories unfold, and small businesses grow.


With each architecture and design project we touch, we recognize that together, we’re contributing to the future of the Bay Area.
That’s why we ask questions, create conversations, and challenge assumptions. Driven by curiosity, we care about understanding you, your vision, and your ambitions.

Next Progressives: Studio BANAA
“This San Francisco firm is serious about weaving curiosity, diversity, and pleasure into the narrative of cities through hospitality, cultural gathering, and mission-driven public spaces.”
At Studio BANAA, we see each and every project as an opportunity to respond in an original way to people, place, and time, while giving our clients a voice through design.
Our primary expertise is in hospitality – restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. In addition, we have a strong personal interest in collaborating with non-profit organizations.
“I cannot recommend Studio BANAA more highly. They are incredibly talented and hard working, and will work with you to make your vision come to life … each coffee shop is beautiful and unique in its own way.”
Sam Shah, Owner, Voyager Craft Coffee
