Why work with LOUBSER WORKSHOP?

We like to keep it simple. We distill complex ideas into simple and practical solutions.

We’re straight shooters. We’re all about honesty, telling it like it is and having the hard conversations early on. Importantly, we take full ownership of our decisions.

We are agile and efficient. We don’t like to muck around too much with unrealistic ideas.  We reach design resolutions quickly and let the process of iteration take care of the details.

We are practical. We know how to build. This means when we draw lines on the page, we know how it will be put together. 

We care about the process. We work tirelessly on the process to ensure the journey is worth the outcome.

We care about the planet. We are green thumbs. We grow our own food and care about what goes into our bodies. We plant trees and try to look after the environment that sustains us.

We collaborate. We believe that the best ideas will win. These may come come from the builder, the client, a consultant or the architect. 

We care about people, the process and the planet.
