Architecture for creative cultures

Architecture for creative cultures

For people who know they’re slightly different.

 

The people that became artists, inventors, entrepreneurs, writers, academics, researchers, coders, collectors and self-described cultural junkies of one sort or another. We’ve worked for some of the best in their game – from advertising agencies and web developers to painters, dress makers, and art galleries.

 

A diverse and self-selected bunch.

 

While some people arrive at school or a workplace with innate creative talents and are quickly labelled “creative types”, just as many find their creative voice much more slowly, but they all have one thing in common: the urge to create.

 

It’s a mindset rather than a skillset.

 

The best architecture makes real connections between disciplines, ideas, and practices to build a rich creative culture. Connections between architecture and the arts, from painting to gastronomy; between architecture and technology, from comfort to carbon; and between architecture and its context, from geography to biology.

 

A rich culture is a rich set of connections.

 

We start by listening and looking for connections that are already there in the project, or just under the surface. We expand those connections, tease out the ideas, find new ones, and weave them into something coherent. That process gets richer with input from collaborators of all stripes, but ultimately, it’s our job to bring it all together as simply as we can…

 

…and let the magic begin.

 

"I am so thrilled with my house, and have loved our collaboration. It has been such a pleasure working together to create something unique."
