Our Practice
Founded in 2018, SoBA is an independent design practice working between Suzhou and the San Francisco Bay Area. Beginning with international competitions and evolving through the realization of public projects in China, the studio approaches architecture as a dialogue between cultural memory, contemporary urban life, and everyday experience. Our work spans architecture, landscape, and interiors, with an emphasis on spatial clarity, public engagement, and context-driven design. We believe meaningful spaces emerge through careful observation, restraint, and long-term collaboration — where each project grows from the specific conditions of its place and community.
