Aggregate Studio works with community-based developers, especially in the context of Missing Middle housing. Our mission is to provide dignified housing at all scales, with special attention to the Missing Middle level needed in so many cities throughout the country. Our engaged design process focuses on empathy, mutual respect, and collaboration, working as a design partner and guide to deliver projects with an experienced understanding of zoning, pro forma considerations, and delivery timelines, creating high-impact projects.
We combine deep technical capability with empathy – we’re experienced with zoning, feasibility, and full-service architectural delivery so that our clients can be confident in our execution. We listen carefully and know how to act on what we hear – using our knowledge and experience in effective budget management/providing dignified architecture, looking at projects through an aspirational lens. Our grounded technical knowledge, combined with our culture of curiosity, keeps creative exploration viable and actionable when facing the complex, systemic challenges of building housing.
As a design partner, we bring many voices together, aggregating ideas, and filtering them through project requirements into a unified design that uplifts people and places in the context of housing equity, community resilience, and civic benefit. With our deep housing experience, our lived experience in substandard housing, and our principal-led project delivery, Aggregate Studio is uniquely positioned to be a design partner on meaningful, Missing Middle housing.
