AOC are a practice of architects and designers based in London.

We engage with communities and their cultures to make designs that are useful, valuable and joyful.

We work with our clients, collaborating with users and other experts, to develop new briefs for contemporary challenges.

We use resources inventively to optimise the use of energy and minimise the emission of carbon.

We deliver proposals that are particular to the forms, materials and myths of their place.

We are Agents Of Change.
