At EHDD, we believe it’s possible to design a collectively greater future for our clients, society and the environment.

Founded in 1946 in San Francisco–a city known for embracing ideas about the future–we bring ideas to improve the future into everything we do.

From its roots, EHDD has been actively engaged in shaping the conversation about sustainability and the human experience in architecture, design and urban planning. We specialize in projects that advance society’s appreciation and access to culture, respect the user within spaces we create, and enhance the long-term quality of the world around us. From academic buildings to science labs, student housing, aquariums, zoos, libraries and museums, EHDD’s award-winning portfolio reflects our commitment to designing with intelligence, ingenuity and integrity to create spaces that people will enjoy–and future generations will admire.
