AO-Architects Orange

Based in Orange, California, AO-Architects Orange designs multi-family developments, drive-thru commercial pads, and technology facilities defined by articulated massing transitions, bold graphic corner anchors, and sharp linear lighting that traces complex roof geometries. This portfolio serves as a precise reference when detailing continuous facade branding across building corners, integrating rhythmic color-glazed panels into balcony guardrails, or specifying high-contrast exterior soffit lighting across sprawling footprints.

What we like about this project
The floor exhibits a high-gloss epoxy or polished stone finish that perfectly mirrors the illuminated restaurant signage.
