About Us
We are an Architecture and Design firm with a highly collaborative approach to uncover solutions which are economically, socially, and environmentally feasible.
APMonarch is a minority and women-owned business. We are committed to helping our clients raise the bar by producing projects that are visionary. Notable examples include The University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy Keller Center and Exelon Corporate Headquarters; both earning the highest level of Green Building Certification. Large scale projects currently include Midway International Airport Concessions and The Field Museum.
Our approach
Technology, nature, and innovative design is a process of discovery and one that continuously evolves.
APMonarch evolves right along with these elements through research, education, and practice. As a team of active learners, we are influenced by nature’s resilient systems. We integrate principles of biomimicry in our approach because it leads to solutions that are intuitive, informed, and highly functional. Through collaboration with scientists and biologists, we gain insights that make our process not only stronger, but smarter.
