Allied Works Architecture is a 40-person practice led by Brad Cloepfil from offices in Portland, OR and New York City. Guided by principles of craft and innovation, Allied Works creates designs that resonate with their specificity of place and purpose. The firm’s practice is grounded in the belief that architecture provides meaningful new insight into its surrounding physical and ideological landscapes. Using a research-based approach, Allied Works distills the elemental principles that drive each of their projects and transforms these into material, shape, and structure—architectural designs that engage public imagination and amplify a city’s cultural legacy. 

Founded in 1994, Allied Works is widely recognized for its cultural and select commercial projects. Other projects include private residences, multifamily and hospitality, education and sports facilities.

- the U.S. Embassy compound in Maputo, Mozambique;
