TOLO ArchitectureTOLO Architecture, led by Peter Tolkin and Sarah Lorenzen, is a boutique practice located in the industrial district of Downtown LA. We work on a variety of project types and are formally agnostic; believing that what a project looks like comes from the team, the client, and the particularities of the context. We believe architecture has primarily two concerns: the material (what it looks and feels like) and the social (the activities it encourages). At TOLO we aim to find interesting and original ways to address both concerns.
We are looking for a job captain to collaborate with us on a variety of residential, institutional, and arts-related projects.
