About Us

Studio 118 was founded in 2020—born from a joke, a dream, and a big long green building off the 5 Freeway in Anaheim, California. That building? One of the offices of the best design firms in the world. Our founder worked there as a senior specialist, surrounded by top-tier architects, engineers, and imagineers. It was a magical experience filled with big ideas, mentorship, and the mindset to make the impossible possible.

When 2020 turned everything upside down, that shift sparked the beginning of something new—Studio 118.

What We Do

We’re not your average design studio.
Studio 118 specializes in:

• Residential and restaurant design
• Garage-to-ADU conversions that turn underused space into serious income
• Full-service project management and owner’s representative work
• Design technology and automation using AI, Dynamo, and Grasshopper

From concept through construction, we guide projects every step of the way. Whether it’s managing consultants, navigating permits, reviewing bids, or handling submittals, we operate like a high-performing extension of your team. You’re not just hiring a design firm—you’re getting hands-on leadership, technical precision, and real project control.

Why We’re Different

The architecture and engineering world moves slow. We don’t.
We’re rethinking the entire workflow by combining design with programming. Our team collaborates with software developers to automate time-consuming tasks like drafting, dimensioning, tagging, and sheet creation. What used to take hours can now happen in minutes.

Imagine scanning a home and instantly creating a usable model.
Imagine auto-generating views, elevations, RCPs, and schedules in one step.
That’s not the future—we’re doing it now.

Studio 118 is the design firm built for what’s next.
Smarter workflows. Faster delivery. Sharper design.

Let’s build smarter. Let’s build together.
