Open source.

Echoing the case-study movement, we are sharing our prototype designs with clients, architects, builders and anyone who has a passion for the built environment. Our intention is that we can all learn from each other’s work through iteration, problem solving, and sharing of experiences. Just like a piece of source code, we invite the global community to build upon these prototypes in the spirit of innovation.
