An amalgamated design firm practising contemporary architecture, urbanism and cultural analysis, Abaxial has been in the practice of architecture and urbanism for over a decade. The core value of the firm is one of an emotional emergence: an expression of Pathos through architecture and design. The creative intent emerges from the qualitative strength of emotion, weaving it into the folds of design to produce a unique spatial and thus experiential quality.
Abaxial is a process-driven firm, relying heavily on research, observation, prototyping, building, and storytelling, in order to reach a design solution; thus bringing together people from different disciplines to effectively explore new ideas from a humanistic perspective.The firm’s approach to building and materiality is through a concern for ecology, environment and conservation, thus striving to mimic natural processes that maximize efficiency and optimize resource utilization and deployment.
