WHY SPACE? OUR VISION.
We are at a pivotal moment in the history of human spaceflight.
Going to space has traditionally been difficult, expensive, and dangerous, reserved for extreme risk takers, highly trained civil servants, and the most adventurous tourists. Today, more people and more types of people are traveling to space for a growing number of reasons. Eventually, as with commercial air travel, going to space will become available to the general public. Designing that future and defining the way we experience space needs to start today.
Designing for human functioning and well-being in space suggests an approach that is fundamentally different from the way we currently do things. As we shift to the long-term habitation of space, we’ll need to do much better than just survive.
OUR VALUES
At the foundation of working at the intersection of architecture and space is a belief that building a better world is possible.
We design and build real things for real people. The best design ideas are rooted in reality and are achievable.
We believe good design leads to better quality of life and should be available to everyone.
We think in systems, designing not just objects or spaces, but resilient frameworks that adapt, respond, and endure.
We’re designing a future where space is just another destination for people live and work.
Sustainability is a fundamental way of thinking and working. We can help ensure sustainability by practicing innovation and responsibility.
Building the future requires innovation; innovation requires creative destruction.
Keeping the doors open and lights on is necessary but not sufficient.
We must embody the future we’re trying to build: optimistic, bold, and equitable.
