always curious, always learning

Each year, we step outside the studio to learn a craft, explore a building technique or discover a different approach to making. These trips take us beyond our usual surroundings and bring us closer to the makers, materials and traditions that shape places around the world.

We have explored architectural research in Venice, studied local building techniques in Marrakech and followed the making of tiles from factory floor to finished product in Porto. In Amsterdam, we learnt how recycled materials can become cladding, while in Tunis we met a studio making urban furniture with local communities. We bring those lessons back to the studio, where they shape what we design and how we can build better.
