Arcsine

What Arcsine does

Arcsine is a private architecture and interior design firm founded in 2003 by Daniel Scovill and Adam Winig, headquartered in Oakland, California with a secondary office in Los Angeles. The firm delivers comprehensive architecture and interior design services across four industry verticals: Hospitality Design (hotels, resorts, guestrooms, amenities), Restaurant Design (full-service restaurants, bars, lounges, quick-service venues), Workplace Design (corporate and technology offices), and Retail Design (showrooms and brand environments). Over 22 years, Arcsine has completed 750+ projects across 14 major hotel brands and holds architectural licensure in five states (California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Colorado).

The firm's core deliverable is the integrated design of built environments from concept through construction administration, delivered through a proprietary collaborative process called Method Design - a charrette-based methodology that emphasizes stakeholder transparency, consensus-building, and a "method actor" design philosophy in which designers step into the conceptual role of each project. Service execution is supported by 2D, 3D, and Virtual Reality visualization tools used to convey design intent to clients. Notable projects span Google work lounges (17,500 sq ft), the Sheraton Palo Alto (65,500 sq ft), Vinarosa Resort & Spa (27,291 sq ft), Shashi Hotel (200 guestrooms), and numerous branded restaurant environments across the Bay Area and beyond.

Arcsine generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, with no disclosed public pricing and quote-based, project-specific engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct client engagement, portfolio presentations, and referrals within the hospitality, restaurant, and corporate real estate sectors. The customer base is enterprise-tilted (hotel operators, restaurateurs, tech companies such as Google and Brightmark Energy, retailers such as Fireclay Tile) and is delivered against a vertically segmented strategy prioritizing hospitality and restaurant as the primary segment. The firm is privately held, founder-led, bootstrapped (no funding rounds disclosed), and operates without a parent company or institutional investor on record.
