Spiegel Aihara Workshop

Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW) is a San Francisco-based architecture and landscape design studio founded by Dan Spiegel and Megumi Aihara. The firm operates at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and urban design, embracing a holistic approach to spatial creation.

SAW’s design philosophy is rooted in the belief that built environments should respond intelligently to their context, both ecological and cultural. Their work is distinguished by an experimental and research-driven process that explores long-term environmental resilience, human experience, and spatial fluidity.

By eliminating the boundaries between disciplines, SAW creates dynamic solutions that are simultaneously functional, poetic, and sustainable. Their transdisciplinary model allows them to explore architecture not as an isolated act, but as part of a greater, interconnected system.
