Ankenman Marchand Architects

Ankenman Marchand Architects is an award-winning firm that has been providing innovative architectural solutions and outstanding client service since 1991. With a broad spectrum of experience in architectural and master planning projects, our team is well-versed in multi-family, commercial, residential, heritage buildings, as well as large scale master planning. Our firm's principals, Tim Ankenman and Francois Marchand, challenge the team with unique and technically challenging projects, from micro-breweries and distilleries to co-housing, sensitive heritage restorations, and large scale resorts.

Our Design Approach

Our strategy is simple: we listen to our clients, interpret their objectives, and mobilize our designers to achieve the client's goals in the most efficient, elegant, and cost-effective way possible. Our holistic approach to every project ensures that site-specific architecture seamlessly relates the interior and exterior realms and brings the client's vision from abstraction to final completion. We are committed to creating architecture that enhances life and the environment, regardless of budget.

Process & Technology

Our designs emerge from a collaborative environment, rooted in site-responsive planning and sustainable building practices. We respond sensitively to every site's unique conditions through environmental design response, bringing practicality, beauty, and responsibility to our work. Our process is iterative, allowing for the re-imagination of design problems as opportunities. We explore each project with both the latest software and technologies and grassroots approaches, including Building Information Modeling, 3D Printing, Lumion Rendering, 3D Animations, Artistic Sketching, and Hand Drafting.
