Why Did We Rebrand?

Typhoon was ready for a more meaningful brand. Our founder Alexandra Waterson was looking to create a brand that felt more like her ultimate vision of what it means to be an architect. And when she passed the California Supplemental Exam in March 2026 it was great timing.

Commonly Found is the essence of the future of architecture. Egos are left at the door, and we design for purpose, design because we care about our clients and the environment. No matter the budget or the scale, we hold our client's needs and the concepts of the brand to heart.

Shout out to Anthony Rilling / CEDAR.DEISGN and Eva Shaw for web design support, and Jessica O'Brien for writing support.
