Metaspace

Our 21st century world is about "change". Technology is accelerating at a mind-boggling pace, with consequences both good and bad. A variety of buildings and homes will still have to be built as long as businesses & populations grow, and demand for new spaces continues.

We are not there yet, but we get closer every year with new ideas and new technologies. We advocate the extensive use of solar energy, state-of-art energy conservation & control technologies, water harvesting & recycling, and waste & garbage treatment in all the buildings we design. An important part of our practice is focused on developing novel planning solutions and construction systems that leave behind conventional time and labour intensive methods. Easy, repeatable constructability and extreme flexibility for the clients are priorities we are actively working on. All of life is an evolutionary process - and Architecture is no exception, both because new technologies and new materials are continuously being invented, and because user requirements are constantly changing and evolving. We believe that our design solutions have to build in a large amount of nimbleness and flexibility and should ...Read More
