Founded in 1987, Studio E Architects is a San Diego based design collaborative, practicing throughout the Southwestern United States. The firm’s varied portfolio-private residences, housing, mixed-use, civic, institutional, and urban planning projects—has been recognized with numerous design awards and has been featured in scores of publications. The firm is led by four principals: Eric Naslund, FAIA, John Sheehan, AIA, Maxine Ward, AIA, and Mathilda Bialk, AIA.
Studio E Architects’ work recognizes that the meaning and utility of architecture is grounded in a building’s physical and cultural context and thus responds to the
natural environment, connects people to the places they inhabit and expresses a richer understanding of its place.
