FreelandBuck is an architecture and planning practice based in Los Angeles and New York City, established in 2010 and led by Brennan Buck and David Freeland. The firm designs buildings, spaces, and objects that engage the public through layers of meaning, illusion, and visual effect, aiming to create environments that are aesthetically rich and intellectually provocative. Its work emphasizes intricate spatial sequences, cultural references, and the use of drawing as both a design method and a standalone form, resulting in projects that read as both architectural interventions and public art. FreelandBuck has received several recognitions within the profession, including the Architectural League of New York’s Emerging Voices Prize in 2019 and placement as a finalist for the 2018 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program, among others. Recent projects include Stack House in Los Angeles, MINI Living Urban Cabin in Los Angeles, Parallax Gap for the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Los Angeles headquarters for Hungry Man Productions, reflecting a diverse portfolio across residential, commercial, and cultural work. In 2019, the firm publicly unveiled a public art installation titled Cache Me if You Can at King Plaza in Palo Alto, illustrating its ongoing engagement with public-facing art and architecture.
