In Parallel Architects + Builders is a group of creative people who understand that the design and construction process is at its best when it is one cohesive flow between clients, makers, and municipalities. Our practice is immersed in the act of making and collaborating. We tackle many types of projects including immaterial ideas, small objects, furniture, and ultimately buildings. By investing in both design and construction throughout our work, we create rich and thorough realizations of our clients’ visions. We are better designers because of our exposure to building and better builders because of our commitment to design.  Heavily invested in the craft of traditional and innovative techniques and methodologies, IP-AB collaborates with skilled creators, craftspeople, and thinkers to provide design and construction solutions for clients that are project specific, functional, and cost efficient; as well as beautiful, transformative, and progressive.

We have locations in Grand Rapids, MI and Ann Arbor, MI.
