Studio

A studio that
builds what it draws.

Craft Studios was founded on a simple observation: the best projects happen when the people who draw them are also in the room when they're built. We organise the studio around that idea.

What we mean by integrated

Most studios are structured around a single discipline and subcontract the rest. That works, until the point where the architect's drawings meet the engineer's constraints and the brand doesn't survive the website. We built the studio to eliminate that gap.

Architecture, interiors, brand and software sit in the same room at Craft. Decisions travel in one direction — forward — and the person who drew a line knows who will build it.

The result is not a larger studio. It's a shorter chain.
