Magnetic places and the Table

We are architectural entrepreneurs who believe that our greatest tool for making magnetic places is the humble table.

Exciting places in the city are born of human attraction. Finding an action to undertake in a place one likes can bring about so much pleasure.

Urban places are nodes for conversation, ideas, and incidental discoveries. Hold out your hand and the sky might rain on it.


But repeating the same behaviours in the same kinds of spaces we love yields fewer and fewer drops.


We'd like to see new programs evolve, see new actions arise apart from the others.


We see programmatic entrepreneurialism as a way towards enacting our desires in the city.

People make places.


People need a platform for undertaking some of our most valuable enterprises: eating, conversing, debating, selling, learning, collaborating.

As furniture, the table holds two people together. As architecture, it is a machine for shaping social formations in the space of any host environment.
