Bausarch is a San Diego–based architecture and design firm dedicated to creating thoughtful, enduring spaces that balance functionality, aesthetics, and client vision. Founded by Architect Mark Bausback in 2000, the studio brings decades of experience in architecture and interior design, with a particular strength in hospitality environments.
Our work is rooted in collaboration. We partner closely with clients, consultants, and builders to transform ideas into meaningful built experiences. From early concept development through construction administration, we provide comprehensive services that ensure clarity, efficiency, and design integrity at every stage.
Our Approach
At Bausarch, every project begins with listening. We believe great design emerges from understanding how people interact with space, how businesses operate, and how environments shape experience.
This client-centered philosophy allows us to craft spaces that are not only visually compelling, but also highly functional and contextually grounded. Sustainability and local sensitivity are integral to our process. We strive to create environments that respect their surroundings while incorporating energy-efficient strategies and timeless materials.
What We Do
We specialize in hospitality design, including restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms, and lifestyle-driven commercial spaces. Our portfolio reflects a diverse range of styles and concepts, unified by a commitment to quality, innovation, and user experience.
Notable projects include acclaimed dining destinations such as Herb & Wood in Little Italy, Cucina Enoteca in Del Mar and Irvine, Bushfire Kitchen, Animae, and Dora in La Jolla. Each project is uniquely tailored—whether blending rustic and modern elements, creating vibrant social spaces, or designing immersive, high-end interiors.
Our work also extends into winery and tasting room design, with projects like Europa Village and Peltzer Family Cellars in Temecula, as well as boutique concepts like Solterra in Leucadia and Wonderland in Ocean Beach.
Looking Ahead
We are passionate about designing spaces that bring people together and enrich communities. Whether it’s an intimate restaurant, a dynamic social venue, or a destination experience, we approach every project with the same dedication to craft and innovation.
We look forward to collaborating on future projects and continuing to create spaces that inspire, connect, and endure.
