Who Is Tecture?

We are designers and fabricators. We are artists and craftsmen. A collective of talent driven by passion, precision, (a little neurosis), and the desire to build inspiring pieces and spaces.

Created in a garage in 2012, Tecture is a space where architecture meets art. We design and fabricate—from statement-making art features to full-scale interiors—bringing concepts to life through meticulous craftsmanship.

Our designers and fabricators collaborate closely, ensuring that every concept is realized with efficiency and innovation. Prototyping, testing, refining—it’s all part of our process. This back-and-forth is the core of our studio—turning new ideas into exceptional craftsmanship.

We hope you like our work. We enjoy making it.
