Modern urban architecture by the renowned and multi-award-winning firm praised for structures that respond to often-challenging contexts, needs, or locations and with a self-imposed mandate to build in a way that furthers the social good.
A desire to redefine the ways architecture can contribute to truly progressive causes has
always been a hallmark of the work of Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects. Each project seeks to
enhance the urban fabric, to inspire all those who enter or visit to carefully consider the
ways the built environment can truly enhance civic engagement or reflect the authentic
culture or history of a site.
From transforming unloved parcels of land that may seem more fit for traffic than residents
in Los Angeles and Detroit to intensely creative and imminently livable housing complexes
for students, tech workers, and underserved populations such as veterans and those
transitioning out of houselessness, to conjuring glamorous ways to harness light in the
darkest of Nordic days for the Guggenheim Helsinki and the Aarhus School of Architecture
in Denmark, this firm has time and again proved its ability to design intelligently and with a
deeply embedded social conscience and unfailing commitment to context.
While constantly advancing the technical practice of modern architecture, Lorcan O'Herlihy
ensures that even its most contemporary-looking creations reflect in some way the
personality of the site or the inhabitants who have long called the area home¾whether by
searching out and incorporating familiar materials in a dense new housing development,
such as the stone used in a surrounding neighborhood's most beloved historic downtown
buildings, playfully taking as muse a cement plant long known as a landmark in an
industrial neighborhood and reinterpreting its very concrete into a fresh and light office
building that seems to hover weightlessly above the grit, or reinterpreting 1970s A-frame
houses by updating their angles for the 21st century and massing them together into a
new and unique "infill" residence that brings ample light and air deep into a constrained
city block meant for first-time homebuyers in one of the nation's most expensive housing
markets. LOHA always seeks to elevate the human condition via its work.tecture and Design Museum, Los Angeles, in
July 2013. For more than a decade, he was the architecture
critic at Los Angeles magazine. His work has appeared in the
Los Angeles Times, Architectural Record, the Architect's
Newspaper, Rolling Stone, Playboy, and dozens of other
magazines.
