Studio G Architects designed the new headquarters for the San Jose Municipal Water System, consolidating five outdated facilities into one modern, unified campus. The project includes a two-story office building and adjacent storage facility, thoughtfully integrated into a residential setting near Coyote Creek Golf Course. Inspired by a contemporary interpretation of rural barn forms, the design balances warmth, clarity, and function. Light-filled workspaces, community training rooms, and outdoor patios support collaboration and public engagement. The project achieved LEED Gold certification, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability and civic stewardship.
