OUR STORY
architectural practice
We address the world through compositional work that rethinks various typologies of architecture and accomplishes profundity by establishing a strong bond between the urban context, the user and the architectural product whose utter value lies in the collective intelligence behind its ultimate form.

From conception to execution, all architectural decisions are carefully scrutinized to meet the contextual challenges and the users’ beyond-anticipations in exceptional spatial experiences. Through which, we have made our early steps in healthcare spaces’ design adventure...

From our Design Office ...

Being in direct contact with thousands of materials in our practice, we have developed a sixth sense when we are to select one.

Beyond its physical appearance and performance, a material for us goes beyond that to its immaterial value.

We firmly oppose the usage of explicitly harmful substances and environmentally-unfriendly materials or techniques.

In fact, our formula is simple; Is the touch mesmerizing? Is the look elegant? Is the performance durable? Is it harmless to nature? If it is a yes to all, it is definitely ours to use and experiment!

We see beauty everywhere, and we are sure you do too.

... to our atelier

As we pour heart and soul in the design, we also prioritize handcraftsmanship in our supply chain to assure a more distinguished final product made with care and diligence.

Using technological tools is a main part of our design process, favoring the human contact with the physical product is what completes our balance. Working with artisans at various levels is our biggest strength into confectioning almost unique, statement pieces. We feel it is not only a necessity but also a responsibility to keep the human element in the production process alive and active at all levels.

The SLASH products are made by humans for humans.
