Firm Description

Tony Owen Partners is a firm of architects taking a new approach to the issues of visualising the built environment. This approach recognises that we are increasingly dealing with a new set of imperatives. These include increasing population and densities, limited resources and space, changing climate and the new realities of the global information and financial network.

Technology is delivering new digital tools and capabilities which are impacting the means which architecture is realised. This includes new software, new thinking about network strategies and new means of fabrication.
The result is an architecture which is ‘future focused’ in thinking, open and responsive in approach, and experimental in nature.

This is resulting in new approaches to design to deal with these issues. This is an architecture which is supple and responsive, reactive to changing variables and assited by new technology.
We refer to this as ‘Elastic Design’ Elastic Architecture is an architecture that is capable of responding to changing variables including spatial, programatic, environmental and structural issues.
