Build places that belong.
Belong to the street, to the climate, and to the people who will inhabit them. A landmark that ignores its city is just a logo in stone. Our job is a room the city keeps using.
Our purpose
Our purpose
The brief we write for ourselves before we ever write one for a city.
Belong to the street, to the climate, and to the people who will inhabit them. A landmark that ignores its city is just a logo in stone. Our job is a room the city keeps using.
A world where new work is quiet enough to last — not extracted, not themed, not discarded after the campaign. We want World to be the studio you call when the place has to be true.
Four rules that decide how we staff, how we draw, and how we leave a site.
Joints, light, and material before the render. If it cannot be built well, it is not drawn.
The same lead from first sketch to first winter. Continuity is how a building keeps its nerve.
Short sentences. Named owners. A drawing a contractor can finish. Complexity is usually fear, not rigour.
For the street, the climate, and the people who did not commission us but will live with the work.
