Cheung Showman Architects

Cheung Showman Architects Profile and History

The firm was founded in 2014 by Esther Cheung and George Showman. We seek to create moments of beauty and grace in the lives of our clients, their organizations, their customers, and the public. We know that to achieve this requires open communication, careful coordination, and commitment to quality from all participants in a project. We have a wide appetite for variety and difference in design, b oth stylistic and programmatic. We believe that design excellence does not originate in a singular aesthetic or visual language, but is rather the result of a rigorous process. For us, this process begins with a strong concept, is developed via careful calibration of its particular elements, and ends with detailed, well-planned execution. We value the many ways in which architecture can make a difference. Our current projects cover a range of residential, commercial, and institutional work, and we actively seek new project types and challenges. We see our practice as a work in progress: a space of constant development, where we add new capabilities and adjust our methodology as each new project demands. We are tech-savvy, but technology does not define our work. We know the power of digital fabrication and other tools to alter both the nature and output of architectural practice, and we keep an open mind and eye to these possibilities. George Showman, Partner
