Studio

Creativity is not an occupation, it is a preoccupation.

As architects, we are obsessed by ‘ideas’.

As founders of the practice, we are supposed to create a ‘vision’ for HAUS; a ‘vision’ that is defined as a clear, distinctive, and specific view of the future that is usually connected with strategic decisions for the collective.

We don’t exactly share this view, not because we don’t believe in providing direction but because, if we are trying to create something that is truly new and unique, we don’t have all the answers. We don’t fully know what direction we’re going in and we’re not even sure how to get there.

Instead, we are driven by a cause, a purpose, a belief.

HAUS was established through the pursuit of ‘idea’, a desire to design and create, to learn and educate, influence and enjoy. A studio of innovation!

For innovation to become central to our approach, we must create the space and environment where people feel free to unleash and discover their talents and passions, engaging and interacting in the hard work of innovative problem solving.

We aspire to create a studio with the sensibility of a ‘community’, breaking down hierarchy to allow anyone, regardless of experience or role, to offer comment and idea enriching our design process. We encourage the minority voices and the disruptors to speak up and be heard through co-creation.

Our goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what we have, nor hire people who just need a job. Our goal is to invest in people who believe what we believe.

Through this pursuit of idea and innovation, we believe our architecture can make a contribution to the world that addresses social, cultural and economic issues enhancing human experience.
