+profile

Studio QUA+D is a design studio specializing in modern and sustainable places to live, work, and play. As a research based and design-oriented firm we are committed to creating Architecture that inspires and enhances the lives of all those touched by our work. We help our clients to build a strong vision for their projects grounded on function and enlivened by meaning.

 

Architecture is a complex process and the diversity of our work is intentional, it strengthens and expands our practice by continuously challenging us to research and gain new knowledge. We have found that this level of intensity leads to innovative solutions and an architecture that is representative of its time and place.

 

We are organized as an open design studio in order to foster communication and the free flow of ideas with a focus on sharing innovation, expression, and knowledge growth.

We utilize the latest software to stay lean, efficient and on the cutting edge of practice and delivery from BIM (building information modeling) to VR (virtual reality).
