Vision

IOUS Studio seeks to go out, expand, and learn. We operate from the creation of unique, different projects through the use of digital technologies and computational design.

Mission

Our mission is to transform spaces with innovation, sustainability, and customization at the core of every design. We strive to push the boundaries of what’s possible in architecture and design, using advanced technology and a commitment to creating meaningful, adaptable solutions. Through our process, we aim to redefine the relationship between design, environment, and function, ensuring that each project not only meets the aesthetic and functional needs of today, but also anticipates the demands of tomorrow.

Sustainability

Our designs prioritize eco-friendly materials, optimized fabrication, and reduced waste. Whether using recyclable plastics, natural ceramics, or bio-integrative solutions like moss-covered surfaces, we create systems that support sustainable architecture.

Customization

Every project is unique. Our parametric approach allows tailored designs that adapt to different scales, materials, and aesthetic visions. From bespoke textures to modular flexibility, we ensure each solution aligns with the client’s needs.

Innovation

We continuously seek new possibilities and challenge traditional norms by pushing the boundaries of digital fabrication and computational to create cutting-edge architectural solutions that transform the industry.

Tools

We integrate Computational Design, Digital Fabrication, and Artificial Intelligence into our creative process. These cutting-edge tools allow us to develop highly customizable, efficient, and innovative wall cladding solutions, redefining how architecture interacts with its surroundings.

3D Printing

3D printing is a cutting-edge manufacturing process that allows for the creation of highly intricate and customizable forms with minimal material waste. This technology enables us to experiment with new aesthetics, functional surfaces, and optimized structures, making it a powerful tool for contemporary architecture and design.

Computational Design

Computational design allows to explore a wide range of design possibilities by adjusting a set of parameters. We can quickly prototype, test, and refine designs, making it possible to find solutions that work for many project types and sizes.

Materials

Ceramic - Marble

3D-printed ceramics blend traditional materiality with advanced fabrication, resulting in highly detailed, organic, and functional surfaces.
