Founded in 2006 by partners Poonam Sharma and Ali Jeevanjee, LOC is an award winning, process-driven, and socially responsive architecture practice committed to the creation of transformative experiences through the built environment. LOC’s focus, in both its work process and product, is human experience and the role of design in shaping that experience. The universality of this focus and commitment to process enables LOC to be versatile in its work, and to successfully engage in projects as varied as homes, workplaces, schools, and civic art. Through the process of bringing people together for listening, collaboration, and investigation, LOC is able to gain a deeper understanding of the issues at stake to generate unconventional and unexpected solutions. Finished projects are intended to be places that can be transformative in how users experience a site, the surrounding environment, the activities they engage in there and the communities with whom they share these experiences. LOC has received many awards and its work has been published widely.
