welcome to ORION

ORION is a multi-faceted design studio founded in 2007. While primarily engaged in the design of buildings, our focus is rather on questions of life and what qualities make for a graceful and uplifting habitat for human beings. We explore architecture from its traditional roots - firmness, commodity and delight. Far from being traditional or nostalgic, we seek to engage in a dialogue with these fundamental and everlasting concerns. Our references and inspirations come from myriad sources, but a borrowed quote from the Slow Food Manifesto expresses the motivations that underpin all the work:

A firm defense of quiet material pleasure is the only way to oppose the universal folly of Fast Life.
