Our studio and open lab for handmade and DIY projects—from jewelry and knives to street furniture and small urban devices. We mix craft skills with 3D printing, CNC, simple electronics, and open data.
This project helps people build durable, repairable objects for homes, buildings, and public spaces. It cuts waste, supports local repair, and shares clear guides so anyone can learn and make.
We focus on useful, low-impact design for today’s cities
The renewed maker courtyard shows how craft and sensors can fit into one place. Knifemaking, metal inlay, and wood joinery sit beside low‑power lighting, air‑quality nodes, and QR tags that link to repair guides.
Solar panels power workbenches, and recycled metals get a second life. The space supports classes, open builds, and quiet work time. It offers real projects for real needs: benches, planters, hand tools, and small fixtures that live well in streets and buildings.
Guiding your build through the project
Work with clear steps from sketch to installed piece. We share plans, material lists, safety notes, firmware, and CAD so you can build with confidence.
Meet our team
We are makers, material researchers, and urban technologists. The team is led by Alex Carter, who documents builds from first cut to final install.
