What WE DO And plan to do
Most of the projects we have worked on are not our own designs. They were designed by some of the greatest names in architecture, such as Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, M. Fuksas, and Moshe Safdie. These projects presented a very complex set of problems at all stages of design and across all scales—problems we were tasked with solving. This expertise falls under the "consulting" portion of our firm.
However, we are architects, and with all the knowledge and experience we possess, we are fully ready to design ourselves. You could say that we are a new architectural practice with a wealth of experience—a fresh face in architecture with deep roots in the field. Our team has been instrumental in shaping landmark projects worldwide and influencing urban development policies. We may be new, but our vision is backed by decades of unparalleled expertise.
DESIGN
At SPACETIME, we offer a wide range of architectural services grounded in extensive industry knowledge and innovative design thinking. Our expertise includes:
Project Design and Management: From concept to completion, we ensure every detail meets the highest standards.
Urban Planning and Development: Leveraging our experience in city governance to create sustainable, vibrant communities.
Consultation and Advisory: Providing strategic insights based on years of industry leadership.

Digital Twins
By creating fully parametric BIM models, we can automatically generate architectural elements up to LOD 500. This means we use algorithms to automatically create high-level objects, as well as every screw, bolt, nut, and weld. This results in a true Digital Twin, minimizing human errors in both the design and construction phases.
- Fully parametric creation of BIM Digital Twins
- Automated handling of BIM Properties
- Generating Structural (FEM) Models in Parallel
Production
When we generate 3D elements, they must be prepared for further production. That is why we can automatically generate 2D drawings, CNC files, G-code files, etc. This process eliminates human error and optimizes the entire workflow, from design to production. It doesn't matter if these architectural elements are concrete slabs, CLT panels, or steel or aluminum members. We can automatically create files that send them directly to the machines and properly enumerate them for the construction site.

- CNC Files
- G-Code
Optimization
In our work, we write software that connects CAD and FEM (static analysis) programs. In some projects, like the Schüco Parametric Facade, we used this method to generate and statically analyze hundreds of thousands of different facade elements within a couple of hours.
By leveraging the power of a CAD-FEM loop, we can statically optimize large structures and find solutions that are both aesthetically and structurally optimal. This also means that when we create our fully parametric Digital Twins, we simultaneously create an FEM model as well, saving weeks and months of redundant work.
