SGPA was founded in 1969 when Donald Schoell, Eugene Geritz, Robert Paul and Arthur Allard merged their architectural practices to form a new entity. Since opening our doors, we’ve designed an integral part of the Southern California and Bay Area landscape, providing places for thousands of people to live, gather, learn, and heal.
Our firm was founded in 1969 when four young architects (Schoell, Geritz, Paul, and Allard) combined their practices to form SGPA. Throughout the 1970s, we built a strong name for ourselves through high-profile commercial, retail, and office work.
Our scope expanded as we added our wellness studio to focus on clinic and senior living projects. Three-dimensional design technologies and building information management came to the forefront of our daily lives.
The Education Studio launched into full swing, focusing on K–12, Community College, and University projects.
Now with three offices throughout California, we are focused on combining our diversified strengths into people-centric projects with a smart blend of mixed-uses.
