Studio T-Sq

We are Studio T-Square - a team of architects, designers, and planners passionate about community building. Understanding that each of our projects is part of a larger whole, we believe in working together to create strong connections that build and reinforce community. We provide full-service architecture, urban design, and planning from offices in Oakland and Long Beach, California. Our team is led by an accomplished group of veteran architects: Chek F. Tang AIA, NCARB; Chris Lee, AIA, LEED AP; Seema Mhaskar, AIA, LEED AP; Henry Tong, AIA; John Waldron, AIA; and William Williams, AIA. Their collective vision and expertise has positioned Studio T-Square as an international leader in the design and planning of multifamily, mixed-use, senior-living, student, affordable, commercial, hospitality, and transit-oriented communities. As responsible stewards of our environment, we are dedicated to the principles of smart growth, transit-oriented development, and sustainable design as they address global challenges. Our team takes a thoughtful approach to all types of projects — balancing the man-made and the natural ecology in our planning work; complementing the existing physical, historical, and cultural context of our urban design projects; and following architecture's essential humanism in our design efforts. We strive to engage fully in every aspect of our work, exhibiting a true commitment and dedication to our profession, forging genuine relationships with our clients, and nurturing the next generation of architects. Our studio is a place where passion, commitment, and collaboration are commonplace. Where friendliness and a convivial approach are valued. And where clients, partners, and the community come together in pursuit of a common goal.
