Our Approach

Etcetera is a design consultancy and a model for an entrepreneurial future of architecture, design, and product innovation. We have taken a lateral approach by collaborating where building is made possible, and the broadest positive impact is created.  Our clients and partners are product manufacturers, developers, engineers, and researchers that are shaping tomorrow’s architecture with us.

We are dreamers, building with visions and novel solutions. While our work is organised to accelerate our ideas and those of our partners, design is our passion and elegant, meaningful form is essential. These expressions and processes, though, are a means to an end. Our curiosity for social and technological challenges drives us to create human value, striving to improve people’s lives and the world around us.

Honestly, we do everything else.
