About Us
With a team of 75+ based in San Francisco and Los Angeles, BAR is an architecture, interiors and planning community of practice committed to design solutions that support human and environmental resilience and a just and equitable future.
Our diverse practice includes housing of all types, entertainment, the arts, retail, academia, hotels, clubhouses, wineries and surf parks, reflecting our current Principals' wide range of interests. Recognized as a San Francisco certified green business, our varied commissions have also earned BAR more than 200 design awards and frequent publication. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and actively championing equity, diversity, and inclusion in our practice and profession.
Across the years we’ve remained committed to a small-company vibe while developing big-company resources and support. Continuous development of our firm, projects, process and people is important to us. A focus on individual professional development, the belief that having a personal, balanced outside-of-work life is important and generous company-sponsored benefits all point toward BAR's recognition that personal growth is BAR’s growth. Ours is a culture that supports and celebrates all people.
Speaking of great benefits – we have every other Friday off, paid vacation and sick days, and enjoy 10 paid holidays. Our company-paid medical, dental, vision, life and disability plans are complemented with 401k matching and profit sharing and personal professional development funds.
We value everyone’s professional contributions and approach design seriously, while promoting a healthy work-life balance and fostering a strong sense of community for all our employees. You’ll see it in all our pursuits; we’re a group that knows how to work hard, play hard and give back.
