Once I was done hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, I returned to San Francisco to pick-up where I left off in the Design Industry. I figured that using the break as a chance to explore other methods of working made decent sense and I joined up with Unispace, a design-build contractor based out of Sydney, Australia. We work as a small growing team from throught a full-methodology process. We start at the workplace strategy that a company wants to employ, and carry the strategy through design, and implementation. Working closely with in-house construction experts, we are able to inform our design and strategy from a constructability and cost perspective very early in the process.
