Community-minded architects.
Human-centered designs.

TOPA Architecture is deeply invested in improving people’s lives in the San Jose Bay Area through architecture. This has been our home for twenty years and we take pride in designing spaces that connect individuals to each other and to their local communities.

Placemaking with a high social impact.

At the very heart of all our work is the big idea that by reimagining the physical spaces that communities share we can have a big impact on individual lives and better represent the people that live, work, and play there.

Designing Communities in the Bay Area.

TOPA Architecture is known for its broad experience across civic, private education, and technology sectors. Our projects build communities, connect people, and improve people’s lives in the Bay Area.

I had the pleasure of working with Topa Architecture on private and public property projects that serve surrounding communities. They had a mindful, informative and timely approach to navigating the City approvals process and worked with our team to fit within our budget and timeline. They patiently collaborated with us and our contractors to answer questions, resolve issues and transform our wish list into thoughtful spatial solutions for meaningful interaction in public space.
