AO, formerly Architects Orange, is expanding its San Diego presence with several new projects in the works or recently finished. Based in the city of Orange, AO has worked in San Diego for more than 30 years and opened an office in Solana Beach in May 2017 with a full-time staff of three. Since then, AO has grown to have a San Diego staff of 15 in its 2,800-square-foot Solana Beach office. “We like that market. It’s a great place to work,” said AO Managing Partner RC Alley.
