Patkau Design Lab is the research and fabrication wing of Patkau Architects. More than simply a workshop, it engages in speculative experiments that test the potential of new ways of working with common materials. Through iterative development, attention to detail, and a refined aesthetic, this experimental work has evolved into fully realized furniture pieces, pavilions, and building elements.

Since its establishment, Peter Braithwaite Studio (PBS) has explored alternative and novel approaches to project delivery that hold the sensitive integration of buildings within the natural environment as a fundamental guiding principle. Working as both the architectural team and the builders, the PBS team believes that dedication to craft and the act of making produces buildings that are both environmentally and culturally sustainable.
