Bureau SLA contributes to the well-being of people and the planet. Its team of passionate experts collaborates with initiators to address the spatial challenges of today and tomorrow, through intelligent design and a hands-on approach. While deeply committed to architecture and building, the office recognises the urgent need to make construction methods more sustainable. Their projects reflect broader societal transitions—such as setting up a plastic recycling factory for circular façade materials, building affordable housing with biobased prefab timber, creating a pavilion from borrowed materials, or designing a large-scale inclusive and circular cultural cluster. They describe their approach as: invent – design – build. In addition to commissioned work, Bureau SLA initiates its own projects, focusing on innovation and experimentation across material use, sustainability, waste streams, smart living and working, and development processes.
