PLATFORM LOGIC
Where Studio and Supply synthesise — elevating the products and projects we make for you.
This is our R&D frontier: bridging the gap between Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) of a Kit of Parts, and the real, unique requirements of your project.
Systemised building is still new ground in Australia — and the world, really. We are interested in one idea: that a whole project can be answered by a system stacked by design inputs, parts, data, and the tools that tie them together.
In pursuing this, we borrow terms and practices from established industries — automotive, heavy industry, manufacturing — in our purpose to productise the major aspects of building assemblies.
SOME PILLARS OF INTEREST
PLATFORM LOGIC
The fewest parts that produce the most variety.
PHYSICAL RATIONALISATION
Fewer components, cleaner connections, simpler assembly.
DATA BACKBONE
One source of truth, from design through to the bill of materials.
COMPUTATION
Software that executes the system with speed and accuracy.
COMMERCIALISATION
Building delivered as a product, refined version over version — not reinvented each project.
We will keep the how to ourselves for now. What makes us unusual in Melbourne is that we speak both languages of construction and manufacturing.
If any of this resonates, we would be glad to talk. interest@patternforms.au
PS. The system does not replace the design response of a project, nor control project aesthetics. We believe in individual and crafted building projects — just ones that enjoy predictable and effective components under the hood ;)
