CONTEXT:

Our 21st century world is about "change". Technology is accelerating at a mind-boggling pace, with consequences both good and bad. A variety of buildings and homes will still have to be built as long as businesses & populations grow, and demand for new spaces continues. As we build more and spend more of our time indoors, it becomes imperative that architectural design prioritizes both the nurturing of the users physical and psychological needs, as well as safeguarding our planet.

WHAT WE DO:

We are Metaspace. We as an architectural design consultancy, strive to develop projects which bridge the gap between the built and natural environment.

Our mantra is 'Towards Holism'. Where "Holism" seeks to address every element of building – from the multiple and immediate needs of our clients to the long term needs of humanity. And all of this has to be made possible with technologies and systems that are both efficient and flexible - those that reflect the fast changing world we live in.
