Architecture and design firm serving commercial, civic, academic, and housing sectors
Lowney Architecture is a 20-year-old multidisciplinary practice in Oakland and Honolulu focused on architectural design, interior design, and masterplanning. The firm's tech stack is heavily weighted toward design tools (Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Enscape) and Adobe Creative Suite, with project and HR management layered on Deltek Ajera and Paycom—a typical setup for architecture firms at this scale. Current hiring priorities center on design roles, with active efforts in business development and marketing positioning the firm to expand client reach.
Lowney Architecture designs spaces across commercial, civic, academic, and housing sectors, emphasizing research-based design and community impact. The practice operates two offices (Oakland, California and Honolulu, Hawaii) and has grown to 11–50 employees since its 2003 founding. The firm delivers architectural design, interior design, and masterplanning services, with recent project work spanning RFQ/RFP responses, business development events, and market research. Current staffing reflects a design-forward organization: the largest department is design (8 roles), followed by marketing (4) and construction (3), with senior and mid-level positions dominating the hiring mix.
Lowney uses Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, and Enscape for design; Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Photoshop) for visualization; Deltek Ajera for project management; Paycom for HR; and standard Office tools (Excel, Word, Outlook) for administration.
Lowney Architecture is headquartered in Oakland, California, with a second office in Honolulu, Hawaii. The firm was founded in 2003.
