Folk Architects is an award-winning architecture practice with a reputation for high quality, user-generated design projects driven by participation and engagement with client, community and broader project team.
Our designs are about people and experiences. We activate spaces by integrating art, design, science, and technology in a way that is collaborative, innovative, and pragmatic yet playful.
Our approach is to engage with people in a site specific and shared design process that explores the possibilities of architecture and how it can contribute to and enhance our everyday.
We have a shared vision to create inclusive and equitable spaces that engage with the community.
