Model making

An inspiring creative touch to model making from ‘WHAT Architecture’ practice office…

WHAT_architecture is a young award winning innovative practice that produces designs, applied research and buildings in the fields of architecture, urbanism and landscape. Early projects such as the House on Motiti brought WHAT_architecture to the attention of a wide field of clients and gave the office critical acclaim. WHAT_architecture uses an iterative process to design space that produces greater choice for the client. Options, variations and permutations install confidence and mitigate against risk as the design process is informed by selection and elimination.

Visiting this practice has been very inspiring for us. From the minute that we walked into the office a friendly and welcoming spirit was evident through the team’s efforts. The atmosphere around the office seemed very fun and relaxed, even though we could see very clearly that alot of hard work has been put into the overflowing work that’s creatively used to decorate the place. Overall, it has all been a thought provoking and visually stimulating experience, mainly because of the team’s free and expressive use of colour and texture in their displayed work, as well as their ambitious choice in creating such a unique working environment.
