Founded in 1992 under an AIA-credentialed principal architect, ACI Architectural Concepts Inc. runs a women-owned practice from 3980 9th Avenue in Hillcrest with architect registration across California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, New York, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania plus NCARB reciprocity. The firm concentrates on hospitality buildouts — restaurants, resorts, retail, and veterinary clinics from 2,000-square-foot renovations to 32,000-square-foot ground-up facilities — handing off construction documents to general contractors, Honeycomb Design & Remodel among them, on remodel-heavy scopes. A proprietary Consumer Concentric Design process programs every space around the end user before a single wall is drawn, then carries through to FF&E specification, custom furniture procurement, and worldwide logistics. A sister firm in Oakland partners with ACI on large-scale hospitality entitlements and master planning, giving the studio Northern California coverage without a second local lease. Custom FF&E design, 3D modeling, and brand identity integration round out the in-house interior scope — a commercial hospitality profile distinct from the boutique residential design handled by McCormick & Wright. A 32,000-square-foot ground-up animal care facility with breeding kennels, adoption enclosures, and feline playrooms sits at the top of the firm's veterinary portfolio.
