Pillars of Work

Our work is based on three complementary pillars: advising and building for external NGOs; initiating development projects focusing on planning and land rights; facilitating discussions focusing on the role of architecture within development work.

Building

We design and construct buildings of high architectural quality that contribute to local development. We offer a three-step process that allows us to support construction projects within NGOs. This entails clarification of needs, sketch proposals, and/or construction management. Do not hesitate to contact us to know more about our collaboration model.

Planning

Cities in the Global South are currently experiencing profound growth, meanwhile penury increases, leaving large groups of its population in deep deprivation. Our work centers land rights upgrading of poor housing conditions, in which we unpack and continuously acquire knowledge about planning practices, political conditions, housing financing models, social structures, and local decision-making processes.

Debate

A crucial part of our development work is discussions and debates through our social events ‘Evening Without Borders’, media appearances, and participation in fairs and festivals that altogether allow us to draw attention to issues related to development in which architecture and planning can contribute to making a difference. We strive to support the profession as a socially conscious and responsible profession.
