Architecture for creative cultures

Architecture for creative cultures

For the people who know they’re slightly different.

 

The people that became artists, inventors, entrepreneurs, writers, academics, 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 skillset.

 

We work for the households, offices, and institutions that put creation at the heart of what they do. Groups that are interested in fresh ideas, questioning norms, and the connections between architecture and other disciplines that combine to produce the cocktail we call culture.

 

The big goal is to build a culture.

 

The best architecture is a beautiful framework for something much bigger. We start by listening, and looking for ideas that are already there in the project, or just under the surface. We tease out these ideas and stitch them together 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.

 

"Thank you for helping me build a beautiful place to live that I couldn't possibly have done on my own."
