Mctigue Architecture

Affordable doesn't have to be ugly. Good design does not have to be expensive. Designing for People doesn't have to exclude the Planet.

At MCTIGUE, we prioritize regenerating both Community and Place in Nature. Conscious Architecture plans, designs and communicates with awareness, connection, and community benefit. It puts people and planet first, to create beauty, renew place, and share integrity in the creative process.

Conscious affordable housing can be a gateway to a greater sense of community as residents connect over place, amenities and shared interests. Developers, builders, and landlords also benefit with projects that build well and efficiently, promote resident values and create lasting value.

If you're rebuilding — or beginning — an affordable housing project, we want to hear from you!

The essential nature of the work we do as architects is what we call grounding. Grounding is our way of connecting the work to planet, to purpose, to people. Architecture is created in materiality, but it's about the spirit, the heart, and the connection to life. Each day, in everything we do, it is important to remind ourselves of this and stay true to the goal. The path may sometimes be windy, but staying grounded is what it is all about.

For our founder and principal Drew Pedrick, that grounding begins at the start of the day with a check in on the world, meditation and exercise, and a delicious cup of coffee. What are you doing to stay grounded in your own goals?

One of our goals for 2025 is to more consciously create through our newsletter. This monthly missive is designed to share important news and updates regarding rebuilding from the Los Angeles County fires, as well as highlighting what gets us up in the morning, what we are deeply moved by, and how this all brings value, passion and inspiration to our clients and their projects.
