Gates Merkulova Architects

Broad critical engagement with culture forms the foundation of our design philosophy, and we seek projects of any scale that present an opportunity to create high quality architecture. Our studio is organized around the notion that each project is developed through the interaction between the client, architect and builder, a process that balances the various concerns of design, economy and technology. Good design is the core of our work, and we strive to develop a unique and innovative approach to each project.

The partners have extensive experience in a broad range of projects of different types and scales. This is reflected in our practice, in which we engage in a wide variety of work: residential, commercial, institutional and mixed-use projects, as well as theoretical explorations. We believe that the diversity of our practice enriches our conception of the possibilities of architecture and enhances our ability to best meet the challenges of every project.
