blank studio was created to honor the capacity for architecture to challenge, inspire and elevate design awareness in an environment
that is directed toward increasingly simplistic and synthetic solutions. The design process centers upon investigation and synthesis, the
experiential use of space, and the engagement of the senses. Within this inclusive method of design, blank studio endeavors through its
work, to transcend meaninglessness and create that which is a testimony to the potential of the designed environment.
In addition to realized projects, blank studio actively participates in the theoretical realm as well, through teaching and by taking part
in various local and international design competitions. As an emerging concern in our natural and built environments today, explorations
into sustainable technology and practices inform much of the current work of blank studio.

We believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create CLOSE, SIMPLE, LIGHT places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.
provides design focused information that homeowners can use to improve the quality of how and where they live. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home empowers you to take more control of your home and improve the quality of how you live while reducing your environmental impact and futureproofing the long term investment value of your home.
