for Earth & Space
Different Systems architects habitation systems that are high-performing and psychologically sustaining, practical and inspiring, and mission and site-specific. The principles that make for a successful habitat outside of Earth become a path to an economy of means, beauty of form and space, and reciprocity with the living world. Our unique value proposition is in applying architectural thinking across dissimilar contexts and scales, ground in experience and a vision for a hopeful future.
Earth
Different Systems designs buildings for land/homeowners interested in collaborating on a beautiful shelter & haven founded on the principles of reciprocity and economy. We are based in Seattle and shares our office, knowledge, and resources with mondae, a full-service architecture & interiors studio specializing in residential work. We leverage one another’s expertise to cover projects within and outside the norms for a wide spectrum of client visions and budgets.
Space
While the principles that make for good design can be universally applied, the particulars cannot. Spaceflight knocks loose many of the constants of terrestrial design including gravity, accessibility and mobility, orientation, physiology, structure, mass and volume economy and interiority. Different brings a singular blend of tacit industry knowledege and conceptual vision to the problem of Spaceflight.
