Carbon
Learn more

The construction industry is responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions through manufacturing products, carbon-heavy construction techniques, material wastage, and operational carbon due to ill-considered built form and service requirements. 

Ecology
Learn more

Considering the impact of ecology in any build is vital, to ensure biodiversity is protected and regenerated into the future.

Circularity
Learn more

Circularity and the circular economy consider cradle-to-cradle thinking – by being regenerative and waste-free by design.

Health & Wellbeing
Learn more

We create healthy spaces that allow all species to thrive. Substandard conditions in New Zealand built environments are all too common: from workplaces without daylight access, to damp and mouldy homes. Our process works to ensure all habitable spaces contribute to peoples’ health and well-being.

Equity & Access
Learn more

Our framework aims to ensure every project fosters a just and inclusive community, that enables all people to participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. We have a shared belief that a society should embrace and engage all sectors of humanity, creating fit for purpose neighbourhoods through participation.

Community & Culture
Learn more

Through our design process, we aim for transformational change – in the buildings we produce and the community and cultures we work with. We analyse a built environments’ relationship with the broader community and context, and then seek out opportunities that could improve and strengthen those relationships.

We are multidisciplinary, working across architecture, design, education, experimentation and art to reimagine places, spaces and objects. Our collective and democratic process sees us create projects of various scales, from buildings to research projects. We build, study, ideate and draw; testing notions of the built environment and how it can be accessible to all. View how we do this in the projects below.
