Taalman Koch Architects

The studio

Taalman Koch Architecture is a collaborative and culturally focused architecture firm in Los Angeles. 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 sensitive solutions that emphasize multi-sensory experiences, site specificity, and the phenomenology of place.

Getting started with Taalman Koch Architects

What to expect when you contact an architect — general guidance from Architects List.

The first conversation: Most residential architects start with a short call or meeting to hear about your project and see whether it’s a good fit for both of you.
What to have ready: Where the project is, roughly what you’d like to build, and a budget and timing if you know them. A few photos of work you like help too. “Not sure yet” is a fine answer.
Fees: How fees work varies by firm. Some first meetings are free; some firms charge for a site visit or feasibility study. It’s fine to ask Taalman Koch Architects directly.
