At the intersection of opposites, Alchemy embraces opposing forces to create work that is complex, multifaceted, and occasionally contradictory:
Sustainability and luxury.
Old paired with new, craft with technology.
The natural and the machined. More from less.
Joy and optimism tempered with humility and curiosity are essential to building responsibly while respecting the reality of accelerating climate change. Alchemy has developed systems to leverage that thinking while retaining the personal and quirky responses that make our projects both achievable and meaningful.
We work for real people and for the Earth,
addressing challenges with a healthy dose of
Midwestern grit and a little bit of farmer tech.
More from less
By doing less, we make space for what
matters: the landscape, the people, and
the experiences that inform our work.
The natural and the machined
The landscape is as important
as the buildings placed upon it.
Alchemy models both structures
and the site in 3D, and designs
buildings, hardscape, and
landforms together, ensuring
that your project is more than
just a beautiful building.
Craft with technology
Our practice elevates
everyday materials by
celebrating the hand- and
machine- technologies that
inform their construction.
The result is design that
transcends the ordinary and
champions the tactile, the
unique, and the personal.
