Based in Los Angeles, Peter Tolkin + Sarah Lorenzen Architecture specializes in commercial, residential, cultural and arts-based projects that draw from the rich cultural conditions that characterize the world we live in. We begin each project by researching the background story of our client and the site where the project will be situated. We use these stories along with relevant cultural, material, and aesthetic references (be they from the fine arts or from popular culture) to produce projects that are meaningful to the people that will use them, that fit the site, and that are reflective of the time and culture in which they are built.
