About

Pollen Architecture & Design is a practice founded by three principals with backgrounds in art, architecture, building technology, design-build, and education. Pollen’s collaborative approach integrates the skill sets from these various forms of practice into the creation of projects that are experientially rich and genuinely sustainable.  This interdisciplinary dialogue has led to a design process that incorporates digital tools, rigorous development, and careful attention to craft.  Our investigations run the gamut from computer energy simulations to research and development of new materials and assemblies to establish identity and performance specific to each project.  This approach results in projects that are a pleasure to inhabit, well-built, inventive, and effective in terms of both energy use and budget.
