ENVELOPE A+D is a values-driven architecture and activations studio; a hybrid practice intent on realizing an equitable and compelling built environment. Founded in 2002, the firm is recognized for its pioneering work transforming underutilized sites across San Francisco and for crafting environments for hospitality, community gathering, public life and the arts. Our steadfast commitment to fostering positive social and environmental impact through our work in the Bay Area and beyond led us to becoming a Certified B Corporation in the summer of 2023.
As ethically focused design thinkers and creative problem solvers, we are on a mission to co-create places that encourage connection to each other and to the Earth — spaces that delight and inspire the senses, revealing and making present concepts of abundance, generosity and beauty. We act on our conviction that our individual and collective agency to create positive change is a powerful force, capable of reversing the current shared sense of depletion, decay and exhaustion — replacing it with a call to our innate abilities to imagine and manifest brazenly joyful futures together.
