Here at Studio BANAA, we always consider the broadest context-what do the cities, people, businesses need? And then we dive in on the human view. The one that holds identity. Perspectives. Stories. Like homes made out of abandoned masonic temples, restaurants with the owner's culture literally etched into the walls, or a brandy experience that takes you back to the Californian gold rush.
Because rare and authentic spaces do wonders for the heart and soul of a city. Studio BANAA is run by Dane and Nas. Dane, a San Francisco local by birth, and Nastaran, a Northern Iranian expat who grew up surrounded by mountains and the Caspian Sea. They met in architecture school and bonded over a shared love of everything in their right brains: art, design, craft.
It was at this point the pair-with two different life journeys, and many different perspectives-united as architects and designers. They still hold some common interests: staring at buildings, absorbing art, being in nature, meeting new clients, throwing dinner parties full of Persian food.

Services
Hospitality
Report
Every one, a treat for the senses. There is joy to be had in sharing an experience with your friends. Whether that's out to dinner, with a drink at the bar, or stepping into a bright new shop. We design for those moments. Founded deeply on our client's unique story. So that every space tells its own story like no other space would dare to.
Housing
Report
We create value, by thinking outside the grid. Finding opportunity in unlikely spaces is our (not-so) secret power. We add value to old properties or difficult spaces by applying creative design and planning smarts. And prioritize projects that can increase housing options and better serve the community.
Community
Report
The soul of a city lies in its people and their spaces. Just as we never give up on the potential of an abandoned building, we won't do it to the cultural fabric of our city, either. When we're not designing homes, restaurants or shops, we're donating time to projects we believe will enrich the city's identity and deepen its layers of diversity.
