STUDIO T-SQ

Studio T Square’s team is always seeking ways to give back to the community, and our recent volunteer effort at the Alameda County Community Food Bank was a meaningful opportunity to do so. Our dedicated office staff came together to sort and pack food for those in need, demonstrating our commitment to social responsibility beyond design and architecture.

Our projects span a wide range of styles and functions, always rooted in sustainability, beauty, and practicality.

Each design is custom-tailored to reflect the unique vision, needs, and aspirations of our clients, no matter the scale or scope. ?

Breaking News! On December 2nd, the San Rafael City Council unanimously approved the Northgate Town Square Redevelopment Project. Led by mall owner and developer Merlone Geier Partners & Merlone Geier Management, Field Paoli is the retail design architect working in collaboration with residential architecture firm STUDIO T-SQ , landscape architect Urban Arena, and civil engineer CSWST2. Together, we've crafted a master plan that reimagines the aging mall into a vibrant, modern community in the heart of Terra Linda. Northgate Town Square will transform the site into a mixed-use district with six residential parcels featuring a mix of townhomes and apartments complemented by premier retail shops and restaurants. Notably, the project will provide 10% affordable housing units (143). Each council member emphasized the desirability of the affordable housing component, which will help address an urgent need in Marin County. The master plan prioritizes open space, community gathering areas, and multi-modal pathways. It successfully meets the goal of providing residents with local and regional transit via connections to a future SMART train station and access to Golden Gate Transit, the Marin County bus transit network. We want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Merlone Geier Partners, who spent over three years refining this plan through thoughtful community engagement and close collaboration with the City of San Rafael. Northgate Town Square will breathe new life into San Rafael and the surrounding regions of Marin and Sonoma Counties, offering much-needed housing, a thoughtfully designed retail hub, and inviting open spaces that foster community engagement and recreational opportunities. Construction is slated to begin this summer, and when complete, this new development will offer a dynamic hub where people can live, work, shop, and play all in one place. #NorthgateTownSquare #SanRafael #MarinCounty #AffordableHousing #MixedUseProject #SmartGrowth #TransitOrientedDevelopment #FieldPaoliArchitects

This Veteran’s Day, we want to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Studio T-Square is endlessly grateful for the ability to partner and build affordable veteran housing, providing a home for those who have served. We have highlighted two of our under-construction projects providing a combined total of 102 units with expected completion of 811 San Pablo by the end of 2024 and Eucalyptus in 2025. We are continuously working to ensure that we are involved in future projects to give back to our veteran’s and supporting our growing communities.

On October 17th, we will proudly celebrate the grand opening of Sugar Pine Village, South Lake Tahoe Phase 1, in South Lake Tahoe / El Dorado County. This thoughtfully designed residential community, offering 248 units across East and West Village, reflects the timeless "Tahoe Rustic" architectural style and serves?the local Tahoe workforce. ? At the heart of this family-oriented development is a village center featuring a bike-centric entrance, community , and public service buildings, trails, and play areas that promote connection and sustainability. This project is more than housing—it’s about fostering a sense of community with features like Sugar Pine Meadow, rain gardens for stormwater management, and multi-use trails that connect childcare centers, community gardens, and recreational spaces. Sugar Pine Village, South Lake Tahoe’s success is a testament to the symphony of partners who came together to make this vision a reality. We are grateful to St. Joseph Community Land Trust, Related California, and Meea?Kang's?leadership?for their key roles, alongside invaluable contributions from the City of South Lake Tahoe, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, and other dedicated partners. Incredibly, entitlement was completed in 90 days, a remarkable achievement. ? Following the successful blueprint of King’s Beach (2013), Sugar Pine Village marks the second of its kind and sets the stage for future affordable housing projects across the Tahoe region. These juxtaposed?developments create?new opportunities to expand access to housing throughout the area.

In 2013, we were honored to contribute to the planning and construction of?Kings Beach Housing. This milestone project broke the mold and established?affordable housing in the Lake Tahoe Basin. As the first project of its scale, it successfully addressed the critical needs of local residents. From preserving Tahoe's natural beauty to creating spaces that foster community, we worked alongside key partners to navigate complex regulations and make this vision a reality. This collaboration of dedicated teams made it possible—and now, we're eagerly looking forward to the grand opening of a second community later this year! A special thanks to Meea Kang, former president of Domus Development - LLC and now Senior Vice President of Related California. Her leadership, advocacy, and vision were crucial in uniting the City of South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Domus Development - LLC, and STUDIO T-SQ. Together, we continue building family-focused communities that empower the local workforce and enhance quality of life.

We always enjoy sponsoring and volunteering at the Annual MidPen Day of Service! This year, Studio T team members Howai, Andy, Yolanda, Shilpi, Muhi,?and Joseph had the opportunity to help build fences at the local YMCA, serve at a soup kitchen, and create fresh planting at the park. We're proud to support MidPen Housing Corporation's impactful work, contribute to a meaningful cause, and be part of such an inspiring day of giving back to the community. ? Check out some highlights from the day! A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success.
