March Studio is an award-winning architectural practice focused on community impact, education, and mission-driven work. We help organizations align their spaces with their values, strengthen engagement, and create environments that improve everyday experience.
Earlier this summer, March Studio principal Todd Erlandson led If I Had a Hammer—a seven-week immersive design-build studio at Deep Springs College, a remote institution rooted in academics, labor, and self-governance. Students explored vernacular architecture through hands-on construction, collaborative decision-making, and close observation of the desert landscape. Guided by Deep Springs’ mission, the course focused on building with intention and a strong sense of place, ending with a small open-air chapel that captures the spirit of the college’s founding values.
