Ida began her career as an architect, spending formative years in the construction field transforming aspirations into reality with functional, thoughtfully designed spaces. Physical environments that are carefully made from finely crafted materials and attentively detailed are at the heart of what she designs. She has published and practiced architecture internationally working on award winning projects in London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and the United States at Arata Isozaki & Associates, Farrells and 1100 Architect.  Ida received her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Nottingham and her Master of Architecture from Cornell University. She is a registered architect in New York and is currently based in New York City.  Ida spends as much of her free time as possible rock climbing or otherwise cycling and snowboarding in the mountains.

Elie is an artist and designer interested in processes and tools, both computational and manual, just as much as the end product itself. Elie has practiced leveraging representation, mapping, prototyping, environmental performance optimization, data tracking and visualization in various research and design contexts. He has worked across multiple scales and typologies at Hou de Sousa, Olson Kundig and Kohn Pedersen Fox. Elie received his Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University and his Master of Business Administration from Quantic School of Business and Technology. He is a registered architect in New York, currently based in Montreal, Canada. Elie enjoys the outdoors, cycling and any excuse for doodling.
