Relativity Architects is a young, Los Angeles-based firm that fuses the physical built landscape and the cultural art world through creative urban design, architecture, interiors, rehabilitation, and graphic and art design commissions. Started in 2013 by co-founding principals Tima Bell, Assoc. AIA, and Scott Sullivan, AIA, NCARB, the award-winning firm seeks to materialize inventive solutions into influential, evocative, and functional design projects and culturally relative architecture. Associate Principal Ginna Claire Nguyen, Assoc. AIA, joined as the firm’s fifth employee, and oversees operations. Relativity Architects is a frequent collaborator with pioneering artists, consultants, and designers in the development of their projects across a diverse range of typologies, including motion picture and production studios, hospitality, institutional, affordable housing, multi-family, commercial, master planning, and residential. Both Bell and Sullivan earned Master of Architecture degrees in 1999 from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc); Nguyen received her Master of Architecture degree in 2010 from the University of Pennsylvania.
