“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
—Alan Watts
archimania seeks to design spaces and places that are authentic. We believe authenticity is rooted in an equitable design process that harnesses the many distinct voices within our studio, our clients, the communities and populations they serve, and the world around us. Our work overcomes regional bias of historic style and perceptions that great design comes at a higher price. Each solution we offer is unique, responding to the context and scale of the project and its potential impact. Since our founding in 1995, designing progressive, modern architecture for our clients has been the result, not the driver, of this inclusive process. Our studio culture is elevated by the esprit de corps that exists, evoking a passionate dialogue around process, equity and impact. Our work provides a reference point for society magnifying perception, understanding, and purpose. We seek to understand the function, mission, and vision of the built environment we create on behalf of our clients. The resulting project reveals the culture of the institution and distills within the design a measure of inquiry that is expressed via elemental principles that drive a project’s ultimate interpretation. It is this culmination of creativity, revealed as architecture, that works in harmony with society and elevates the human experience for all.
