Taalman Koch Architecture

Taalman Koch Architecture is a collaborative architecture firm based in Los Angeles.
Linda Taalman and Alan Koch are the creative directors and principal architects. As partners for over 12 years they have cultivated a collaborative method of working with clients and multidisciplinary teams that has resulted in numerous award winning and internationally published and exhibited projects.
Starting from their earliest collaborations with artists in their Trespassing: Houses x Artists project they developed a unique ability for customizing the design process to facilitate creative solutions.
Taalman and Koch were partners in charge, under the banner of OpenOffice, for the acclaimed Dia : Beacon museum (AIA NY Merit Award). By incorporating research into their practice they have continued to develop speculative work that expands their field of architectural exploration. Taalman Koch Architecture research into off-site fabricated building technologies led to the development of the award winning itHouse system (AIA LA Merit Award, Sunset Western Home Award). Currently they are designing houses, classrooms and temporary structures that are both economical and sustainable using this system. Taalman Koch Architecture have directed, assisted and facilitated art installations and public art projects, from their Small Skyscraper collaboration with Chris Burden (Art Basel), Ft. Lauderdale Airport Art and Exhibition master plan, a multi year installation in the High Desert Test Sites in collaboration with Kathleen Johnson, and their recent commission from the For-Site Foundation to create an animal habitat and sculpture in the Presidio in San Francisco. Each new project is viewed as an opportunity to explore how design fits in the world at large – from initial discovery and brainstorming phases, to new fabrication technologies and non-linear construction practices.

Since 1997, Taalman & Koch have collaborated extensively with artists and arts institutions, demonstrating a commitment to the pursuit of a thriving relationship between art and architecture.

Both Taalman & Koch are registered architects in California and New York.
