VUILD ARCHITECTS is a group of architects pioneering architectural designs using digital fabrication. It is consists of designers and engineers who are passionate about creating, and we conduct consistently from design to manufacturing by using 5 axis CNC milling machines at our own factory.
Although we started our career from creating furniture for everyday use, we gradually expand the scope of our business to small houses to medium-scale architectures.
For all those experimental and advanced projects, we keep on challenging with our clients.
Moreover, we want to propose a sustainable society through architecture by unraveling the distribution process and the building process to rebuild the relationship of involved people and the materials.
5 subjects below are based on the idea of capturing things as one without breaking them apart. We believe that the architectural thinking that opens up the future is the “softness” coordinating the balance to co-exist the two alternatives which normally should be placed at the opposite end.
