Founded in 2006 by partners Poonam Sharma and Ali Jeevanjee, LOC is an award-winning, socially responsive architecture practice committed to creating transformative experiences through the built environment.

Our work, ranging from homes and schools to civic spaces and workplaces, is united by a focus on human experience and the role design plays in shaping it. Every project begins with listening and collaboration, allowing us to uncover the deeper issues at stake and to generate solutions that are both thoughtful and unexpected.

For homeowners rebuilding after fire, this process becomes even more meaningful. We guide clients through every stage—from navigating codes, insurance, and permitting to designing resilient, sustainable homes that meet today’s highest safety standards. We see fire recovery not only as restoration, but as an opportunity to create a healthier, more durable, and more beautiful home for the future.

Our projects are designed to transform the way people experience their sites, their daily activities, and the communities around them. Widely recognized with awards and publications, LOC’s work reflects our belief that great architecture can restore, renew, and inspire.
