Calar Architects was founded in 2021, with bases in San Francisco and Seoul. We are a design group specializing in architecture, interior design, branding, and urban development projects.

We aim to harness our creative prowess and expertise to craft sustainable designs that seamlessly integrate streamlined technology. We tackle societal challenges, including urbanization, climate change, geographic discord, aging populations, and economic inequality, with a commitment to improving the well-being of individuals and cities, all while minimizing ecological footprints. Our ultimate objective is to forge a healthier and more intelligent built environment, actively contributing to its betterment.

Our relentless dedication to expanding our comprehension of architecture and allied fields enables us to stay in sync with evolving trends and practices. We foster a flexible and creative working atmosphere that encourages self-evaluation and responsiveness to immediate changes. We continually refine our processes to curtail project costs and maximize value creation. Our toolkit encompasses building information modeling, computational design, data analysis, material innovations, performance simulations, and more.

The name “Calar” derives its essence from the fusion of "color" and "scalar." We exhibit colors by the method of scalar. Color is what we do. We suggest appropriate designs by understanding multiple colors of people, disciplines, voices, viewpoints, backgrounds, and communities. Scalar is how we do. We explore limitless methods of scalar measures to materialize our intentions, encompassing dimensions such as mass, volume, area, length, time, density, temperature, and energy.
