The Architectural League’s biennial Emerging Voices program spotlights North American architects, landscape architects, and urban designers who have significant bodies of realized work and the potential to influence their field.
Nick Hopson and Klara Rodstrom of Hopson Rodstrom Design Co. are 2026 Emerging Voices winners.
Hopson Rodstrom Design Co. focuses on a wide range of housing typologies, including single-family, multi-family, transitional housing, and community spaces at a variety of scales. With each design, Hopson Rodstrom Design Co. aims to balance playfulness with sincerity through creative use of material, color, light, and texture. Founded in Los Angeles in 2015 by Nick Hopson and Klara Rodstrom and primarily working in Southern California, the firm’s work is shaped by local context and stakeholders and guided by the belief in “the power of dialogue, collaboration, and respect for diverse experiences and perspectives,” in the firm’s own words.
