Design
Projects
We design by making creative use of technology. In collaboration with partners from all disciplines, we operate across different scales and types. We aim to find holistic solutions to realize non-standard projects.
Fabrication
Planning
We are bridging the gap between complex design ideas and their realization. We do this by creating high-precision parametric 3D models for architects, designers, and manufacturing companies where all information for CNC production and assembly is intrinsically embedded.
Digital
Automation
We help automate digital planning and manufacturing processes for product design, architecture, construction, and manufacturing. The range of services includes the programming of individual scripts for various CAD environments, cross-software parametric systems, and web-based configurators.
Formfeld™
Surfaces
Under the name Formfeld we design surface structures – defined by proprietary algorithms and made from natural materials. For projects or as solitary wall panels – every piece is unique. More information at www.formfeld.net
