PHAEDRUS Studio is a full-service design and architecture practice working across and between disciplines to design and create objects, spaces, and architecture.
Design is a process. Our role as designers fosters that process through open-minded inquiry and dialogue while seeking to understand the dreams, desires, and values of those we design for. Through playful exploration and guided collaboration, we reveal solutions that cannot initially or individually be imagined. Driven by an understanding and passion for art, craft, and technology, we emphasize design solutions that perform over preconceived notions of style. We recognize that performance is relative to a given project's unique constraints and opportunities and create physical expressions of the ideas and inspirations exposed through the design process.
