Palimpost Architects Information

Palimpost Architects is an innovative, full-service, architectural firm located in Los Angeles specializing in residential, commercial, and retail architecture. The office was founded and is led by award-winning architect Aleksander Tamm-Seitz, RA, NCARB, formerly of Morphosis Architects. Tamm-Seitz brings more than 15 years of professional experience designing and building projects around the world. In addition to Tamm-Seitz’s experience, the office leans on a diverse and broad set of consultants to ensure that every project is delivered with the highest level of quality. The office works in the field of architecture at the intersection of the past and the future. Palimpost believes that rich, timeless design cannot be generated and developed by working in a vacuum. We are interested in producing relevant, critical, and contemporary design and architecture that creates value for the client. We believe architecture has the power to create value, whether it is enhancing the quality of life of an individual, a community, or adding financial value for an owner. In addition to contemporary and cultural influences, the office draws from architectural history and ideas of material, light, context, program, form, and function. The influence of the past and the potential of the future help drive the office’s aims to produce spaces that are simple yet rich, complex yet straightforward, and new yet timeless. Palimpost = palimpsest (ideas of layering, history, richness, precedence) + post (ideas of newness, after-precedence, post-history, contemporary).
