FOCAL is an architecture, interiors, planning and design practice focused on creating beautiful and meaningful work for clients driven by mission and purpose. We believe architecture’s strength lies in clarity, stripping away distractions to reveal what is essential and authentic.
EVERYONE IS INVESTED IN EVERYTHING.
We understand excellence as the result of a rigorous design process and valued input from multiple voices and hands; no singular voice is responsible for the whole.
PEOPLE, PLACE AND ECOLOGY
Architecture can and should be optimistic in its ability to positively impact communities, ecologies, and people. Rooted in our clients’ stories and the spirit of each site, we shape architecture to leave every place better than we found it.
SEEING WHAT IS NOT VISIBLE.
We strive to deeply understand how people will use and inhabit the spaces we design. Through researching, listening, observing and drawing we uncover the patterns and behaviors not readily apparent upon first glance.
