TENBOOKS is an award-winning San Francisco based architecture and design studio founded by Matthew Bowles, AIA and the team of AMLGM. TENBOOKS specializes in custom, one-of-a-kind design and architecture that evokes emotion and tells a story. The name TENBOOKS is a nod to the oldest and most influential treatise on architectural theory, The Ten Books of Architecture, written by Vitruvius Pollio. TENBOOKS, like Vitruvius, seeks to address the ethos of architectural integrity and quality through the lens of social construct. As a concept-forward firm, TENBOOKS treats every project as one-of-a-kind marrying theory and practice to deliver well-conceived plans for today that will age well in the future. Their goal is to transform the physical environment in a beneficial way; by making the physical world more efficient, dynamic, beautiful, and inclusive.
