Filson and Rohrbacher

About Us

Filson and Rohrbacher is an architecture, design and research firm. We take our experience in building award winning architecture for institutional, cultural and residential clients and bring it into the scenarios that require design the most, but usually receive it the least. Our firm pursues design in these contexts by redefining how we practice, by finding affordances with digital tools and techniques, and by expanding design scope to consider the interrelated conditions, which surround spatial concerns. We believe that by rethinking how we work as architects, we will have the capacity to create potent design that is capable of addressing significant challenges.
