Architectural design with a focus on books and reading spaces.


Plural Studio Modus Operandi

  • 1. CONSEQUENCES: What impact will the work we deliver have?

  • 2. CONTEXT: How should the project best respond to historical and site contexts?

  • 3. MATERIALS: What is the energy and resource flow of the project?

  • 4. LABOUR: Where can conventional building practices be improved?

  • 5. CARE: You will receive honest communication throughout our engagement.

  • 6. ETHICS: How can we be the best custodians of schedules and budgets?
