Social Studio

A boutique design + build firm based in the Bay Area, designing and building engaging environments on the West Coast since 2017. Erik Kramer, Principal of Social Studio is concerned with designing spaces that distance themselves from the status quo. Erik is an experimentalist, adventurist, and student of human interaction with the built environment. His intent is to infuse the environments in which we live, work, and play with a capacity to enhance our experiences, whether routine or extraordinary. Trained in the mountains, but honed in the city, Erik has a unique take on merging the built world with the natural world that has received accolades from Dwell magazine. Social Studio is a full spectrum design + build firm devoted to creating engaging spaces. Located in California’s Bay Area, but working on projects along the West Coast, we have a commitment to clientele that serves relationships lasting beyond project delivery. Bespoke details carry the spirit of the project, producing results that feel modern, but exude a timeless nature. Warmth, texture, and innovation reign supreme. We don’t distinguish between architecture, interiors, furniture or fixtures. All levels of design require equal attention in order to create a comprehensive project. Working with Social Studio is a collaborative process. Listening and interpreting are our priorities, exceptional design is the byproduct. As architects, we pass your ideas and inspiration through our filter to create spaces that align with your needs, excite and inspire. In order to best realize your space, we seamlessly manage the design through construction. Our clients can rest easy knowing we collaborate with talented and efficient sub-contractors who bridge the gap of the quality we require and the price you desire.
