PHILOSOPHY

L.A.B. is a laboratory for crafting architecture. Projects are navigated with poetic sensibility, scientific rigour and human purpose.

Engaging the local, the non local, the physical, the natural, the cultural and the economic forces as stimuli; each construction concept is designed uniquely.

Working from sketch to clearly articulated drawings; we evolve our design instincts to create emergent spatial atmospheres. Staying centered, we are outside the circle.
