This week we celebrated the topping off for Habita

This week we celebrated the topping off for Habitat, a new live-work-thrive campus of interconnected office and amenity spaces. Habitat redefines tomorrow's workplace with a sustainable, nature-connected, transit-oriented ecosystem. The campus, located at LA's geographical center, is remarkably walkable, transit-rich, and bike-friendly. The site features two buildings with a shared below grade parking garage. The commercial building is a terraced blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, featuring 253,000 SF office space and 2,900 SF of ground floor retail and restaurant space. The residential building consists of 260 units with amenities that includes an outdoor pool, fitness, co-working space and a sky lounge with terrace.

Steinberg Hart is the Architect of Record and SHoP Architects is the Design Architect.

Congratulations to our partners at Lendlease!

As we near the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, Ste

As we near the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, Steinberg Hart proudly celebrates Partner Katia McClain. Born in Mexico City, Katia brings a bicultural approach to architecture, creating culturally responsive, community-centered projects. She leads affordable housing and education projects across California. Katia champions diversity, mentoring future Latina architects and supporting women in the industry, making impactful contributions through her role with the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley board.

Katia is also a contributing author of "Latinas in Architecture and Allies Vol II: Stories of Raising the 1% One Latina at a Time," where she reflects, “Being born in Mexico and identifying as a Latina in the U.S. isn’t a binary experience for me. Labels create rigid, simplistic definitions of success, suggesting absolutes, but I am far more complex than that. Challenge the limitations of labels and set your own standards. Embrace your authentic self—you belong here."

Thank you, Katia, for your invaluable contributions to our firm and the meaningful impact you've made on so many communities!

UC Riverside has broken ground on the Undergraduat

UC Riverside has broken ground on the Undergraduate Teaching and Learning Facility (UTLF), designed by Steinberg Hart in partnership with McCarthy Builders. This state-of-the-art building will provide lecture halls, classrooms, labs, and a dance studio all helping to foster collaboration across the College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences, The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, and the Bourns College of Engineering. The UTLF complex will serve as the new campus gateway building. Its flexible interdisciplinary spaces, and welcoming courtyard, will enhance student experience and promote cross-discipline learning. We're excited for the opportunities this project will bring to students!

Thank you to our valued partners and clients at UC Riverside, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., Coffman Engineers, Affiliated Engineers, Inc., HORTON LEES BROGDEN L. D. INC, Larsen Zienkiewicz, Inc., Lerch Bates Inc., Resonance Acoustics, The Sextant Group, Woden Fire, Spurlock Landscape Architects, and HERA laboratory planners.

We’re excited to announce the groundbreaking of

We’re excited to announce the groundbreaking of the long-awaited Oakhurst Campus in the Sierra Nevada foothills, designed to provide crucial access to higher education for the surrounding communities. Located over 45 miles from the nearest college, this 31,000-square-foot campus will serve 300 students, faculty, and staff, with programs in natural sciences, arts, engineering, business, and childcare. The design blends indoor and outdoor spaces, reflecting the picturesque natural surroundings with its central courtyard, and a multipurpose patio off the Library/Community Room with views of the Sierra Nevada peaks. This transformative campus will foster academic and social engagement, strengthening the community and offering new opportunities for growth.

Today, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo took an exciting step toward enhancing student life by breaking ground on a transformative student housing project that will add 4,100 new beds and renovate 1,300 beds over the next ten years, enhancing campus living and increasing housing affordability and accessibility. As the largest student housing development currently underway in the state of California, the Steinberg Hart-designed project will feature nine new buildings and renovations to six existing Red Brick buildings. The project will create smaller “neighborhoods” and pedestrian pathways to foster a stronger sense of community, with sustainable materials that reflect Cal Poly’s commitment to eco-conscious, high-quality housing. The new program will leverage innovative volumetric steel modular construction, a first on a CSU campus, enabling a systematized and streamlined construction process over the next decade. With Phase 1 set to be completed by Fall 2026, this project will be a cornerstone of campus life, blending modern design with university traditions to support student success and belonging.

Thank you to our valued partners Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, as well as Full Stack Modular, Arup, SWA Group, Cannon, Glumac, KPFF Consulting Engineers, Woden Fire, CSDA Design Group, (CDC) Curtainwall Design and Consulting, Inc., and Designing in Color (DCo) in Color.
