Synecdoche Interdisciplinary architecture studio. WE ARE SYNECDOCHE,
an interdisciplinary creative architecture studio. We are a team of doers.

As architects, designers, and makers we leverage operations, utilize material detailing, and consider code application tactically to create bold projects with purpose. We don’t just make sh*t, we make sh*t happen. Driven by a rebellious spirit and relentless curiosity, we challenge expectations and believe everyone deserves great design.
