Tecture

Founded in a garage in 2012, Tecture is a design and fabrication studio that lives at the intersection of architecture and art.

Tecture is a progressive studio of designers, craftsmen, artists, and builders who pride themselves on bringing alluring and functional concepts to life. Since their conception, Tecture has approached the design process in a cohesive manner, taking a project from initial ideas and concepts through to fabrication and completion. Their customized design solutions are efficient, unique, and durable while ensuring the symbiosis of functionality and aesthetics. Paramount is the need to exceed the expectations of their clients. Their scope of design ranges from individual products, graphics, and branding, to the full-scale design of buildings and landscapes. Regardless of scale the focus remains the same; this focus being that the integrity of design, honesty of materials, expression of structure, and dedication to detail define a successful project.

Founded in a garage in 2012, Tecture is a design and fabrication studio that lives at the intersection of architecture and art. We practice a professional process that allows us to break the rules on occasion, and write new ones when needed. Our team of wild, dedicated creatives finds fun in design; crafting outside-the-box projects both for our clients and to fulfill our own passions.⁠

Design and Fabrication, that’s what sets us apart from others in the industry. Our Design team utilizes the services of the Fabrication workshop, testing materials, creating prototypes, and fabricating elements. Conversely, our Fabrication team works closely with the Design studio, discussing processes, chewing on details, and creating samples. The symbiotic relationship between these two worlds allows us to offer exceptional turnkey solutions and to push the boundaries of our craft.
