About The Overlay Group

The Overlay Group is an architecture firm located in San Francisco, California. Branching from Jennings Ackerley Architecture + Design, The Overlay Group was formed to create coherent solutions to everyday design problems for retail spaces, colleges and universities, courthouses, and everything in-between. With a collaborative team comprised of several different backgrounds, every unique design is overlaid with thought, passion, and beauty to create a memorable environment for users of every generation.

The Overlay Group is skilled to take on any type of project including, but not limited to, urban planning, civic structures, institutional buildings, residential communities, urban infill, and educational facilities. In addition, we take on fabrication projects and are available for prototyping.

576 Sacramento Street, the current home of The Overlay Group, was formerly occupied by Sunset Magazine between 1934 and 1951.
