“The formulation of patterns drawn from multiple contexts builds a larger statement. Each pattern incorporates specific, local qualities into its structure, but each pattern is also composed of shared, universal qualities which then relate to each other. This way of reading and creating patterns becomes a productive tool for understanding our current circumstances and historic precedents, and for constructing possible futures.” — Niklas, architect and founder

“By continuing to build with existing structures we can shrink our ecological footprint while maintaining the value of surrounding space.“ — Tobias, architect

“By first observing a specific, local finding, carefully analyzing and describing it, and then examining it in a variety of different contexts, a more universal pattern emerges. This global scope allows us to understand and learn from the similarities and differences in a wide range of rural practices.” — Daniel, creative director
