Urban Lab
We are community.
We are connectors.
We share our space.
Our studio is an Urban Lab in the heart of the Downtown Long Beach Design District, where we bring the outside in to inspire innovation and have conversations that uplift cities
Our Urban Lab is:
A testing ground for making better cities
A place to come together, collaborate, and socialize
A studio in which we create with our clients
A space that’s more about office camaraderie than life in the cubicle

It requires investing in the people, businesses, and ideas that bring our cities to life.
Downtown Long Beach is our testing ground for making better cities.
Over a decade ago we embarked on a community-led visioning process that led to a new Downtown Plan focused on creating a dynamic and livable Waterfront Metropolis. That vision was brought to life with active streets that support walking and biking, thousands of new housing units, and the adaptive reuse of dozens of significant buildings.
Designing a More Creative City. Our Mission in Action.
The next chapter in shaping a vibrant downtown is activating the people, places, and ideas that make it unique.
We co-created the DTLB Design District as a community-led initiative to connect and celebrate the people, businesses, and organizations shaping Downtown Long Beach. What began as an idea has grown into a collective of like-minded partners working together to bring design into everyday life, support creative enterprise, and build a more connected and vibrant downtown.
