Taalman Koch Architecture is a collaborative and culturally focused Los Angeles based
architecture firm. Borrowing from their earliest
artists' collaborations such as the TRESPASSING houses x artists
project and the Dia : Beacon museum, the firm's founders, Linda Taalman
and Alan Koch, have cultivated a working method that empirically
responds to the specific situations of each project. Rather than
overlaying a singular architectural language to their various projects,
they uncover design opportunities by allowing cultural and contextual
influences to blend with the specifics of practicing architecture. This
kind of open-minded attention to each new project results in design
solutions that emphasize multi-sensory experiences, site specificity,
and the phenomenology of place.
