CEBRA and Lemay to merge, combining architecture and design strengths

What if architecture and economy collide? Architecture, besides buildings, is also an economic force. From global icons like the Eiffel Tower to the simple charm of cobblestone streets in Europe, design shapes how people move, gather, and spend. This is archinomic : when architecture drives value, identity, and sustainable growth. #architecture #economy #building #sustainable

Great architecture doesn’t have to come with a big price tag. At Peacock Architects, we believe the most meaningful projects are those that balance creativity, function, and affordability — delivering beauty without excess. Our work on the Sugar Sand Park pavilion proved just that. By making smart design trade-offs, we created a striking, lasting space at nearly the same budget as a “safe” standard option. The lesson? With intentional choices and creative problem-solving, architecture can inspire communities without overspending. Read the full blog post below. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eZdPs5PX
