Projects

TOPA Architecture is known for its broad experience across the workplace, technology, civic, and private education sectors. Our projects build communities, connect people, and improve people’s lives in the Bay Area.

At the very heart of all our work is the big idea that by reimagining the physical spaces that communities share, we can significantly impact individual lives and better represent the people living, working, and playing there.

We work on these project types: Civic & Faith, Private Education, Mixed-Use & Multi-Family, Technology/R&D, Restaurants, Office/Workplace, and Market Ready Spaces.

Marie Millares

I had the pleasure of working with Topa Architecture on private and public property projects that serve surrounding communities. They had a mindful, informative and timely approach to navigating the City approvals process and worked with our team to fit within our budget and timeline. They patiently collaborated with us and our contractors to answer questions, resolve issues and transform our wish list into thoughtful spatial solutions for meaningful interaction in public space.
