A luminous world high in the sky.
Self-initiated and built for its own sake: Anima is where we test lighting, atmosphere and spatial sequencing before they reach client work.
From tradition to computation
Anima is a space that resembles both traditional and futuristic architecture at once. It sits high up in the sky, breathing more life into the metaverse; its roof spreads its wings and hovers over the structure, seemingly weightless.
The design followed a visit to South Korea — traditional temple architecture crossed with parametric design, sparked by the Zaha Hadid exhibition at Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul. On the platform, a pond, grass and traditional timber structures gather around a sleek parametric backbone that holds everything together.
Why we build for ourselves
R&D like this is how new techniques earn their way into commissions: tested in our own world first, shipped in yours after.
