WE CREATE + CONSTRUCT LOW ENERGY CUSTOM SPACES THAT GROW AND MOVE WITH YOU, ONE SQUARE METRE AT A TIME. WHERE WE TURN THE BRIEF FROM ABOUTTHE.SPACE TO ABOUTYOUR.SPACE FOR HOWEVER LONG YOU NEED IT
.introduction | COMPANY OVERVIEW |
we are aboutthe.space.
​
by using our own component-led modern method of construction (mmc), we are the creators of the space-building movement. our space-building movement aims to change the way construction is viewed in the future, coupled with a fresh new approach on how we perceive buying a space, home or any usable work space currently. we strongly believe there's a need for more innovation within the construction industry, and we feel we've identified a gap in the market for a new generation of space-building - a universal one stop solution for all - available to everyone financially, and where quality comes first. aboutthe.space is the only company which allows for incremental developments to occur, meaning we can build a space as little as one square metre at a time - while still retaining low energy status. the result of this means there is no discrepancy on quality when it comes to budget, with only the overall size being the determining factor.
with all briefs, aboutthe.space uses "outside the box" (*space) design thinking, implementing a three-phrase strategy-focussed process to create spaces which are emotionally engaging. 'CREATE + CONSTRUCT', 'BUILD + BOLT' and 'COMPONENT-LED CONSTRUCTION' are how aboutthe.space incorporates a fresh approach to space-building with an inherent focus on innovation. committing to environmental and sustainable approaches in every part of our process, combined with these three phrases, encompass everything that aboutthe.space stands for. engineered to minimise waste, while reducing manufacturing and build lead times, are just a few key principles around which the company was formed.
we recognised the growing demand for innovative, conscientious spaces, and the struggle that many providers encounter when attempting to fulfil this need; the desire to offer a space for everyone and meet a rapid build time. a custom designed space with a personal touch and social conscience. a space with fixed costs, yet adaptability. thankfully, we've entered this field demanding these qualities from ourselves from the outset.
​
our spaces are built with you in mind; today and in to the future. whether you are looking for a holiday home that is made to make the most of your location, a versatile unit that can grow with your business, a temporary overflow space or a practical solution to a social crisis, we can create a space for you.
​
by creating a space with us, you will be approaching the space-building market in a new and exciting way. our approach to construction gives you a more economic build, from a starting point that is capable of change and that works alongside your personal demands.
.core | VALUES |
at aboutthe.space we have three core values that we work by:
​
share | innovation | people
​
we believe it is important to 'share' our 'innovation' with 'people', because sharing the opportunity for everyone to be able to live differently and live better, matters to us!
​
share - we like to share our innovation in the hope of being able to re-educate people on what actual exciting prospects can be achieved within the construction industry. giving people the chance to explore another option - another way of living in the future.
​
innovation - innovation is important to us. the spirit of this is engrained within our approach to everything that we do. constantly challenging why something is done a certain way, is it the best option, and if so can it be improved? these questions brought us here.
​
people - aboutthe.space has partners, not clients. whether it is the suppliers we operate with, the collaboration with our partners, or the consideration of the inhabitants for whom we design, by working through a highly collaborative process and offering a custom service, enables the company to become an extension of their life.
.our studio | STUDIO PHILOSOPHY |
"the most important asset to any good business, is its people"
​
aboutthe.space has a small, yet diversely experienced team. whose wide-ranging talents offer over 100 years combined, varying design and industry experience. the studio collective comes together as a hub of creativity and innovation, working within a fast paced and fun environment.
​
the creation of a space in the context of its environment is at the forefront of our studio ethos. we believe that architecture and design is for people, and as such, great sensitivity has been given to understanding how our thoughtful design can enhance people's lives. in order to live differently - live better - by thinking differently.
​
in turn, we also believe great design should last, rather than follow fashion or trends. by maintaining a creative vision that spans architecture, our quality of work is defined by a refined and timeless design. one that be used over, over and over.

we chose the word space because we like what it stands for. as a company, it encompasses the core of what we do and the versatility in which our spaces can be used. our own modern method of construction means that we are not bound to only residential or commercial markets, but in fact any application which needs a space to be built, or an area that needs filling - spanning everything from macro to micro sales.
