A practice built around ideas

Small by design · California

Parco Studio is a deliberately focused architecture practice based in California. We bring together the curiosity of a small studio with the rigor, experience, and technical capacity of a large-scale practice.

About the studio

The Work

Composed rather than arranged

Every work an original response

Architecture does not begin with style. It begins with possibility—the potential held within the unique combination of site, climate, landscape, aspirations, and patterns of daily life that define a project and give it purpose.

The Work

Ben Parco

Principal, AIA, LEED AP

Parco Studio is led by architect Ben Parco, whose work spans more than three decades and over 20 million square feet of projects for clients including Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Kaiser Permanente, E&J Gallo Winery, and San Francisco International Airport as well as private residences throughout California, Hawaii, and the Mountain West.

Today the studio focuses primarily on private residential work, bringing the systems thinking and coordination of complex commercial architecture to the intimacy of the home.
