Our process is highly collaborative and we don’t like to pretend like we have all the answers.
We work with local experts, craftspeople, makers and artists for almost every single project that result in a humbling learning experience as well as an experiment of sorts. We navigate the boundaries between many disciplines and come fully equipped with a wide range of technical and communication skill sets. We are rigorous, but we are also forever students - we believe in learning from others. The initial phase of every project includes lots of absorbing, questioning and understanding from the context and those involved before we shift to design.
We are interested in projects that are human-focused, and public in nature. We enjoy interventions that deal with existing conditions, we value the resources that are poured into infrastructure and buildings and we do our best to work with what exists as much as possible.
