ARCHITECTUREFIRM

ARCHITECTUREFIRM is a collaboration of architects and designers working in hospitality, housing, and contemporary art spaces. The relationship between program, layout, and context is central when considering services of this kind: spatial decisions need to respond to planned activities, site characteristics, and the needs of people using the facilities.

Its portfolio also encompasses cultural, mixed-use, and workplace programs. The practice describes a pursuit of clarity and economy of means, connecting construction technology and elemental forms with user needs and the purpose of a building. Reviewing references by program and context helps identify which aspects of the practice can respond to the priorities of a particular assignment and its intended users.

An initial inquiry benefits from identifying the building use, location, approximate area, and whether the assignment involves new construction or an existing property. Reviewing comparable projects helps frame a discussion about scope, design stages, and coordination with the specialists required for the proposed work.
