PEOPLE PLACE PLANET • Conscious Architecture
Who We Are

MCTIGUE is an architecture, planning, design and communication firm founded in a conscious approach to making place. We are a collaboration of creative, critical thinkers, focusing on the social and environmental aspects of the built environment in ways that create sustainable, resilient and economically positive outcomes.

Our mission is to work as one — with nature, technology, and each other — so that People, Place, and Planet all thrive.

We value designing buildings, homes and spaces with inclusion, integrity, vision and gratitude: placing primary emphasis on social and environmental qualities, care for all life, and the imperatives of sustainability and resilience.

With new methods, materials and relationships, we can create beauty, renew community, and share integrity in our work.

What We Bring

We create with you, as one inspired team, in order to make places that rejuvenate, regenerate and inspire joy, wellness and community.

Our work seeks to mitigate environmental and social harm, rethink infrastructure, and create resilient spaces well-suited to your needs.

MCTIGUE's process is conscious of multiple, inter-related factors including:

  • Program, function and context
  • Resilience, adaptability, sustainability
  • Wellness, retention & satisfaction
  • Asset enhancement
  • Time, cost & compliance constraints
  • Productivity & efficiency
  • Land and sea protection
  • Environmental impact minimization
  • Aging infrastructure enhancement
  • Purposeful, right-sized places ... and more

We build buildings and spaces first by building great teams. To us, architecture is a single act, made possible by many.

What We Do

As an agile, public benefit design firm based in Los Angeles, with team members in several countries, MCTIGUE works where you are ... and across the globe.

We design for health and wellness, for purpose and productivity, for pleasure and joy, for achievement and flexibility, for now and for the future.

The first question you’ll be asked by MCTIGUE is, “Why?” Why this place? Why these people? Why this size? This use case? And every individual involved on the project will lean in to listen to your answers. We engage you fully in the conversation before we even begin to dream big, take up our pens, and draw.

We are excited, always, to collaborate with people, businesses and organizations that recognize and value the importance of place creation and its potential for positive effects on the planet. Whoever you are and wherever you are — this distinction is the common ground on which we, collectively and collaboratively, build as one!
