Matt Kohman

Matt is a designer based out of Austin, Texas. He is enthralled by the breadth of architecture’s implications, making him a reluctant generalist, sobered to the deep responsibility of architecture as a collective project, while fascinated by the plausible fantasies that steer us towards optimistic futures.

The projects presented here are an outcome of collaborations with inspiring and talent folks. He couldn't have done it without them.
