With an understanding our client's intentions, our team filters these priorities with the ever-changing currents and contexts of our times. Cultures evolve, new sciences allow new possibilities, and economic models reprioritize what is valuable. By carefully implementing new materials and innovative solutions, we strive to communicate the need for better and more adaptable products through our design practice.

As a means to these interests, Workshop For Construction Inc. was established in 2008. As the 'build' side to our practice, our joint company oversees and manages the construction of our projects ensuring that our intentions become reality. Our goal is to show what we see, think, and feel in the present and what we hope for in the future, through our constructed environments and contemporary designs.
