Who we are
Philosophy
ARCHRYSALIS is an award winning, boutique architecture and interior design studio found in 2009. Archrysalis’ design approach focuses on the duality of built form and the natural environment. The studio believes in experimentation and research and is committed to innovation, function, and sustainability. Centered within this research, Archrysalis interweaves new technologies, fabrication methods, and materials to create environments which are stimulating and contemporary. Archrysalis creates forms to inspire, approaching each project, regardless of size & scale, with an understanding that architecture influences lifestyle and society.
