CO–G is a collaboration. We like to produce architecture that is simultaneously familiar and unusual, even mischievous—through a typological drift, a material misreading, a primitive process, imaginary origins.

Our works aim to examine contemporaneity through material, to experiment with methodologies which don’t resist issues of maintenance, which address labor, transportation of supplies, material waste, and which allow for weathering or erosion to be both part of the construction and of the design.

CO–G has been exhibited and published, including Dwell, ARCHITECT Magazine, Interior Design, DesignBoom, Harvard Design Magazine, and the Boston Design Biennale.
