We are excited to share Archello has named us one of the premier design studios in Los Angeles per its newly released report.

The Archello piece notes, “Arguably the center of America’s West Coast, Los Angeles is home to hundreds of architecture and design firms…we recognize these 25 offices for designing California and the world, leading the way intellectually and creatively. These firms are breaking new ground, moving toward innovation, and helping reshape the world.”

Earning distinction in the top 10, we are credited for being “a laboratory of creative thinkers, including architects, designers, technicians. Established by Mehrdad Yazdani, the studio never stops exploring and experimenting with architectural forms and ideas.”

“This is a wonderful recognition and moment for the studio,” commented Mehrdad. “I could not be more proud of the team we’ve built, the synergy we have with CannonDesign, and the incredible work we are fortunate to deliver across the world each day. We pride ourselves on bold ideas, creating entirely new typologies of buildings, and uncovering new possibilities – this only inspires us to do more.”

The Yazdani Studio thrives from an unparalleled vantage point in the design world – at the nexus of small design firm and global practice. Functioning as a design practice within a larger design firm empowers the studio’s team to deliver game-changing projects at all scales while also exploring new ideas, products, research and possibilities that redefine what’s possible.

The unique partnership has led to paradigm-shifting projects including  Kaiser Permanente’s Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine, UCSD Health’s Jacobs Medical Center, Kaleida Health and SUNY Buffalo’s Gates Vascular Institute and Clinical Translational Research Center, the University of Utah’s Lassonde StudiosCJ Blossom Park and UC San Diego’s Price Center East Student Center among others.
