With this technology, we've optimized production, shipping, assembly, construction, and on-measure manufacturing processes, making our products both more environmentally sustainable and cost efficient to produce. Products include flat-pack kit furniture, modular shelters, and an innovative refugee housing solution that will be ready for market in 2018.

Quality of space fosters quality of life. Our professional field is the design of living spaces. We re determined to advance the ways space can naturally expresses its purpose, and in turn, enhance peoples ability to be purposeful within a given space. Cultivating thriving environments with this quality of design and detail is essential to us.
Our environments are a culmination of the details around us. It's these details that add up to our experience of a space. Leaving no detail unconsidered, we pay careful attention to quality of materials and how light expresses those qualities in a space. It s our job, as designers, to preserve these formal qualities and give them function.
Light and materials aren t everything. Small everyday gestures are just as essential. True wealth is not only found in quality of material but in how space is designed to be engaged. If every time we need to perform a routine action (putting a bag away, depositing keys, sitting down), and the space has been design to make that seamless, then we have achieved true luxury.
