architecture for earthlings

We are architects, industrial designers, and systems thinkers working across scales and disciplines.

Our specialty is Space Stations for the commercial era, founded on pioneering work at Blue Origin and Tycho Space. We bring the rigor (and wonder) of designing for spaceflight to everything we do.




Jeffrey Montes [+]
Jeffrey’s career is characterized by the transfer of conceptual rigor, creative range, and architectural know-how to the aerospace context and vice versa. He has a 12+ year track record developing pioneering and award-winning space architecture projects, including at Blue Origin where he worked as Senior Space Architect.
Will Root [+]
Will has spent over a decade working in factory-built prefab architecture system design. His work centers on the design of scalable systems that reconcile technical constraints with spatial utility, and on developing frameworks that enable complex environments to emerge from repeatable components. 



Different Systems pairs its earned expertise with humility & a respect for changing information. We maintain a network of subcontracting experts spanning the domains and subsystems of spaceflight. This help us pressure-test assumptions, allowing us to make durable recommendations that our clients can trust.
