About Us

STD Works is a critically engaged design studio founded in 2010, driven by a commitment to regional relevance, innovation, and design excellence. Since its inception, the studio has been dedicated to shaping meaningful experiences through architecture and design that resonate with cultural narratives, local context, and the evolving needs of modern life. At our core, STD Works believes that design is more than aesthetics — it is a dialogue between people, place, and purpose. We see architecture and design as tools to interpret and celebrate identity, to question convention, and to foster a sense of belonging. Our work is deeply informed by research, collaboration, and a sensitivity to the socio-cultural and environmental layers that define a space.
