Architecturebureau

The bureau was founded by Kevin Patrick McClellan in 2000 with the intent on exploring complex systems and their material effects on form. The bureau has designed and built work in California, Texas and the UK. Ranging in scale from small conceptual objects, furniture and installations to residential and commercial construction, the bureau is a design office that at its core is experimental.
