About me
I'm Erik Hoffmann, an ARB Architect combining computational design, parametric modeling, and digital fabrication to develop innovative solutions for complex projects. My background spans robotics, environmental simulation, and advanced manufacturing across infrastructure, commercial, residential, and research-led teams.
Trained at the Architectural Association and shaped by roles at Zaha Hadid Architects, NaJa & deOstos, and WilkinsonEyre, I'm London-based but internationally minded. With a growth mindset and curiosity about emerging technologies, I approach each project as an opportunity to learn and push boundaries, bringing together technical precision and creative ambition to deliver meaningful real-world outcomes.
