OpenScope Studio is a full-service architectural practice specializing in smart solutions to complex design problems.
Our passion for creating better experiences for people through architecture is matched by our expertise in the practices, regulations, and economics of development and construction. From urban infill development and transitional housing to park pavilions, commercial interiors, and custom homes—design, craft, functionality and feasibility are the guiding measures of our work. Across projects of every scale and typology, our approach remains the same—by first understanding the technical challenges of a site or program, we uncover opportunities and possibilities.
