INNOVATIVE. UNIQUE. PRAGMATIC.

Who We Are

“paradigm” is a WBE + MBE architecture practice based in Philadelphia, PA.

With national and international consultant and procurement relations, we are ideally positioned to provide realizable design solutions nationwide. Our design process and ability to work within highly varied typologies has allowed the company to undertake a diverse range of worldwide commissions within a number of project disciplines.

We continue to carry out research based work and actively pursue to further develop our ideas, approaches and philosophies.

Our Philosophy

We at paradigm are driven by a desire to create innovative, unique and pragmatic architecture.

Avoiding the constraints of a ‘house style’, we choose instead to formulate design solutions through an investigative studio process, underpinned by a high level of client consultation and careful investigation of context, site and brief.

Such a methodology allows the firm to work at a wide range of scales and typologies, continually evaluated through rigorous critical analysis. We believe that this process-led approach to design produces consistently high quality solutions for both the client and end user.
