SLO is a multidisciplinary design collaborative that challenges the ordinary and brings a sense of wonder to the making of community space. In developing our work, we place emphasis on promoting connectivity—between social, cultural, and ecological contexts.

Jobs

We are a small firm doing projects with a big impact. Founded in 2000, we are committed to the vision we started with: to run a multidisciplinary design studio combining architectural practice with hands-on making, fabrication, prototyping, and experimentation. We run an open studio where hierarchy matters less than our willingness to collaborate and share ideas. Our extensive portfolio includes innovative residential, educational, civic, commercial, and industrial projects. Above all, we seek out projects that strengthen the social fabric of communities, and we’re committed to being good stewards of the environment.  


SLO Make

Imagined, designed, and fabricated by SLO.

We are interested in the ways that art and architecture can be used as investigative tools to reveal unseen cultural moments and relationships within a site, neighborhood, or city.
