162 Architecture Firm Concept

162 Design Studios is an architecture firm concept that invites change and actively looks to welcome all. Architecture is often made with exclusion in mind. It’s seen in public works that are made to be unwelcoming to people experiencing homelessness. We thought it’d be appropriate to design what an alternative looks like. Hence, 162’s brand is centered around inclusion. The name “162” was chosen for two reasons: (1) numbers are universal and (2) the golden ratio—1.6180…—is used in design globally. Arabic numerals are nearly ubiquitous, and the name is translatable in any language.
