architecture
& development
OUR ETHOS
We founded LOKI on the belief that the current system of architecture & development doesn’t produce the best outcomes for our society and the communities within it.
​
We aim to change that narrative.
LOKI began from the observation that our system of home-building isn't working as it should. Beautiful design too often isn't commercially viable, while development often sacrifices quality of living for profit.
​
We want to cultivate a healthy, vibrant relationship between architecture & development; between design and capital. At its best, architecture has the power to lift our spirits and create flourishing communities.
​
We set out to bridge the worlds of investment, development and design and to find innovative ways to build beautiful homes and make healthy returns.
​
At LOKI we blend bold conc1eptual thinking and original design approaches to create inspiring spaces and vibrant neighbourhoods.
Our design strategies are site-specific and unique to each project. We engage with local craftsmen and specialists and are careful with the selection of materials and construction methods we use.
​
Sustainability is at the core of what we do. We provide sustainable, low-energy features to promote good health and reduce energy bills, while at the same time being cost-effective.
We want our buildings to uplift the whole street and to benefit everyone in the neighbourhood.
​
But first and foremost we create beautiful homes where people feel good every time they cross the thresholds. Brigitte's designs celebrate natural light, openness and always look to connect the inside with the outside.
