practice
Stromberg Architecture was founded in 2009 with a core principle: to unify the user and site through architecture. We believe architecture can serve a higher purpose - that leaving the world better than we found it requires stewardship, optimism, and building a meaningful connection between people, community, and the environment. Our designs respond thoughtfully to topography, sun, wind, light, views, program, and budget to create sustainable spaces that connect people to their surroundings and to one another.
We have completed projects up and down the western edge of the north American continent, with works spanning from Seattle to the Cabo peninsula in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
process
We believe that every spatial idea is embedded with an emergent architectural meaning that the body interprets as we move through space in a constant state of perceptual observation. We lean on all the senses to establish an experience. It is our role as architects to be present, to listen, and to extract that essential and inspirational form and to convey its materiality.
Each design process begins with an analysis of the physical and perceptual aspects of the site referenced against the functional, budgetary, cultural, and experiential qualities of each client’s program to arrive at distilled and simple design proposals.Collaboration with the client, the builders, and the environment is paramount.
