Partnerships — ARCHICOB

We are engaged for authorship. And we defend it.

ARCHICOB is a sole-principal signature practice. The design authority never dilutes; capacity, licensing and supervision are held by executive partners, working alongside us under terms agreed at the outset.

Terms — authorship, attribution, IP, liability — are set in writing before work begins.

Counterparties

Who we work with

§ 01

Master developers

Landmark mixed-use, towers, resorts and districts where positioning determines the return.

Governments & sovereign entities

Civic and institutional projects, planning frameworks, design quality review and competition juries.

Family offices & principals

Private residences, estates and legacy assets held across generations rather than cycles.

Executive practices

Licensed architects of record who require a design authority rather than a design department.

Institutions & corporations

Headquarters and campuses that must communicate authority without announcing it.

Capital partners

Investors who treat design as a lever on yield and are prepared to hold it as one.

Models

Four ways to engage the practice

§ 02

01

Design authorship alliance

ARCHICOB authors the design; an architect of record carries licensing, documentation and delivery. Authorship, attribution and fee split fixed at the outset.

With AOR practices

02

Full commission

Concept through construction under one appointment, with the principal present at every stage gate.

Direct

03

Advisory retainer

Standing counsel to a developer, authority or investment committee — brief writing, design review, second opinion.

Institutional

04

Co-development

Design-led participation through ARCHICOB Capital, where the practice takes a position in the asset alongside its authorship.

Careers

We hire rarely, and slowly

The practice grows by conviction rather than headcount. Speculative applications are read; if the work is serious it is remembered when the position exists.

What we look for

Geometric rigour, material curiosity, and the discipline to be corrected without being diminished.

What we offer

Direct access to the principal, authorship credit where it is earned, and no layer between you and the decision.
