Five architecture firms reveal how they got ahead
Hunsett Mill, UK
ACME
London
Founded in 2007 by Friedrich Ludewig, a former director at the now-defunct Foreign Office Architects (who was later joined by former colleague Stefano Dal Piva), this multinational office has enjoyed an explosive growth and now has a 30-strong team. 'Other people's offices are great places for testing ideas as well as ways to collaborate,' says Ludewig, explaining that most of his team have eclectic portfolios and citing Toyo Ito, SANAA and OMA 'for the quantity and quality of their ex-employees'. ACME's current works, in its trademark expressive modernism, are scattered from Colombia and Qatar to Lebanon and the UK. The firm has also chronicled its first three years in a series of elegant self-published monographs.
