SAN JOSE, Calif. - Californer -- Studio San, an internationally renowned architecture, design, and planning firm based in San Jose, announced it will be the successor company to HPC Architecture, a well-known, legacy architecture firm based in San Jose. While the two firms will run parallel for the first couple years, clients, employees, and projects will eventually transition to Studio San.

"We are honored to succeed such an exceptional company" said Studio San president Jeremy Metz. "Studio San plans to continue the transformational work that has established HPC as one of the most trusted architecture and design firms in the Bay Area."
