Albatross is developing a multilayered, holistic approach to architectural design, always aiming at the creation of architecture as the best possible life-surrounding, based on detailed research into the immediate physical space, into the social and economic context, the progress of technology and cultural and social advances (research-based design), so that ultimately there should be a design that offers the unexpected but is also responsive to the client and the client’s needs – and the wishes that sometimes the clients do not even know they have. Albatross does not repeat: its ambition is for every new design to be unique and at the global cutting edge, at the same time never neglecting rationality and functionality, and always taking care that everything should be done in such a way as to be as economical as possible with the resources and time of the client.

Albatross is organised more in the way of a start-up than as a formal architectural design studio; its ambition is to observe the universal and the local context, to be a laboratory in which new knowledge is produced. It brings together academic research, education and practice, so as to achieve innovations on the interface of technology and art, aiming to materialise ideas for the 21st and visions for the 22nd century. The office culture is oriented to the young, to those who are prepared to push back the borders, aimed at eliciting fresh ideas, and the team is regularly interdisciplinary and composed of students, professionals and enthusiasts that are willing to leave their comfort zone.
