Ynys

We believe that successful architectural projects seek to produce “coherent wholes” - bounded territories which have the ability to entirely envelop their subjects. Ynys, the Welsh word for island, symbolises that belief - territories that are once recognizable wholes and entanglements of individuals - teaming with life, they constitute more than the sum of their geology. Islands are both concretions of stone and gatherings of atmospheres, ecologies and histories. In order to design spaces true to this ethos, we work to produce systems, structures and objects that communicate across scales - starting with research, we work to mix ephemeral technologies, media, and the production of material things, all the way up to the making of buildings in constructed landscapes.
