When Ariel joined QA three years ago, she had no idea that alpaca shopping would part of the job description...

We are currently looking for an Interior Designer (commercial interiors experience preferred) and Project Architect (estate residential experience preferred) with 5-10 years of experience. We are drawn to candidates with a... good sense of humor, diverse portfolio and skill set, and collaborative approach. At QA, you may be working on a tech campus one day, and a ranch retreat the next... and from time to time, a client may take you alpaca shopping. We are only looking for Bay Area candidates at this time.

Oh hey there! @marinlivingmag Feel Good Issue is out and inside you'll find a feature on Groundbreaking Women, including our Principals Cecilia and Julia. We also love seeing our clients..

The UGG 5th Avenue Flagship is an example of cozy meets luxury. The Southern Californian brand wanted a refined nod to their surfer roots while highlighting their movement into a true lifestyle space. QA and @florenciapita designed this NYC flagship with inspiration from beachy sunsets, classic modern architecture, and natural materiality. @amybarkowphoto . . .... #retailarchitecture #retaildesign #uggs #cozy #newyorkcity #womeninarchitecture #womenindesign See more

Let's chat about materiality shall we? Nothing makes a space sing more than a natural palette. By taking our inspiration from the surrounding site, our designs never feel out of context while still evoking a whole lot of unique character. Pictured here, the Lovell Residence in Mill Valley was transformed from a dilapidated mid-century box into a modern home with interwoven additions and a strong connection to the outdoors. . . . #customhomedesign #singlefamilyhome #modernhome #millvalley #marincountylife #naturalhome #womeninarchitecture #womenindesign

It's #workinprogresswednesday! This beautiful board was created for a restaurant and farmstand for our Art Ranch project in Maui. Designer @chelselizc mixed warm, natural samples with personal items from her own collection. One of the upsides to working from home is the ability to infuse personal style and we are loving it! . . . #modernarchitecture #hawaiidesigner #hawaii #restaurantdesign #interiordesign #womeninarchitecture #womenindesign

The workplace is no longer just a place to work. As we rethink how an office should look in 2020, consider it a place to safely gather, collaborate, and be inspired. This office space for New Relic in downtown San Francisco does just that, providing a warmth and comfort that would be just as welcome in a hospitality environment. . . . #modernarchitecture #hospitality #workplacedesign #womeninarchitecture #womenindesign #sanfrancisco #financialdistrictsf

Believe it or not, this isn't the newest hip outdoor restaurant. It's a dog rescue! Our clients at the @thehappydogproject in Santa Monica wanted to revolutionize the way our furry friends are adopted, bringing joy to humans and dogs alike by infusing hospitality into the traditional process. We love bringing this project to life. . . . #modernarchitecture #womeninarchitecture #womenindesign #santamonica #dogrescue #thehappydogproject

Sometimes it’s just what we need to do. Partners Julia and Cecilia support each other daily and say this often... ‘just keep going’. We will make it to the other side together!! #strongertogether #partnership #keepgoing #womensupportingwomen

We're working with our clients to reimagine the #postcovidworkplace, without sacrificing warmth or personality. What would make you feel safe at work in a post-COVID world? #sanfranciscodesign #designingforsafety #covid19resources

Our Tiburon wine and beer tasting room project passed its CUP hearing with flying colors Excited to have it built and visit it frequently!! . . . .... #wine #beer #bar #tiburon #marin #tasting #winebar #interiordesign #steel #design #architecture #pairings See more

Working with @marincityclinic on this important project has really opened our eyes to the systemic racism that has depressed Marin City for decades. Predominantly serving African Americans and Latinos, donations of any size will help this underserved community thrive!! Link in our bio to donate . . . #marincity #healthcare #housing #supportive #marincitymatters #mentalhealth #addictionservices #dental #nutrition #marin #clinic #affordablehousing #supportivehousing #community #health #wellness

Architects, designers, and planners have an important responsibility to protect the communities we serve by creating healthy and safe environments. However, systematic racism infiltrates every industry in this country, and Architecture and Construction are no exception. As a minority-owned business, QA is committed to listening to and learning from the experiences of our black clients, peers, and communities to ensure we are upholding the inclusive values that we hold dear. This promise goes beyond today, beyond this week, beyond this year. We all have a lot of work to do. #blackouttuesday

Two of our projects highlighted today at the San Francisco Waterfront Mega Projects webinar. Thanks @theregistrysf for a great overview of some of SF’s most exciting projects.

23 years ago, partners Cecilia and Julia supported each other through the grueling AIDS ride from SF to LA with the mantra ‘JUST KEEP GOING’. Over the last month and a half, they continue to tell each other that almost daily as we all try to navigate the current climate. ‘Just keep going’ everyone and we’ll get to the other side stronger!
