Allied Works
Founded in 1994 by Brad Cloepfil with studios in New York and Portland (Oregon)
Allied Works is an integrated architecture and design practice whose diverse projects and creative works seek to enrich and enhance the individuals, institutions and organizations they serve.
Established in 1994 and operating from studios in New York and Portland, Oregon, the practice has grown steadily through the completion of major museum projects, innovative educational facilities, residences and workplaces of varied scale, purpose and character, and locations across the globe. This diversity is by intention, as it presents perspectives from all fields of practice, offers new insights and inspiration, and advances the search for innovative solutions.
We are passionate about design at every scale and for every purpose, and we possess a range of skills and capabilities that we feel would enrich and inspire new creative conversations.
Current works include a new School of Art building for Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York; two major embassy projects for the US State Department, including a new embassy compound in Maputo, Mozambique, currently under construction, a new winery in Oregon’s acclaimed Dundee Hills AVA, and a new Art Museum for Penn State University, in State College, Pennsylvania.
