asap/ adam sokol architecture practice is a collaborative design practice founded in 2011. We are based in downtown LA with work primarily in California, New York and China.  Since then the firm has gone on to design and complete work in a wide range of fields, including single- and multi-family residential, historic reuse, mixed-use, hospitality, culture, and urbanism. Our work has received numerous awards at all levels and has been published in dozens of countries by leading publications such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Architectural Digest.

We seek to identify and advance design opportunities to develop the art and craft of design at all scales – from tableware to entire cities, while also reinterpreting and re-energizing programmatic imperatives. Our work is devoted to understanding and contributing to existing cultural and architectural contexts while deploying advanced design and construction technology in ways appropriate to contemporary life and complementary to a place and its unique culture.

Collaboration is an important part of our practice, and we have been privileged to work with some of the world’s top designers, in fields as diverse as structural engineering, water feature design, and textiles, to name a few. We seek opportunities to enrich our work and our clients’ environments by understanding what fields have the potential to distinguish a particular project, and identifying and collaborating with leading practitioners throughout the world.

Our design team comprises a talented group of professionals from diverse backgrounds with advanced professional degrees from some of the world’s top institutions. We share a common belief in the value of design and a passion for our work, as well as an understanding that architecture may be a business, but above all it is an art, measured not in billable hours, or even awards and publications, but simply by asking if there was a strong idea at a project’s core, and if it was adhered to throughout the design process.
