STRATA.
Strata is an architecture practice for people who think a wall should outlive its mortgage. We design in raw concrete, high-altitude light, and long silence — houses, studios, and civic rooms that weigh something.
Every Strata project begins as a section drawing — how thick, how high, where the sun enters at winter solstice. Ornament is whatever the formwork leaves behind. If a detail can't survive fifty years of weather and three changes of owner, it doesn't get built.
We spend a day on site before we draw a line. Wind, water, neighbors, noise. The land votes first.
Plans lie; sections don't. We design the building's weight and light before its rooms.
Concrete forgives nothing. Every formboard, tie-hole, and joint is decided before the truck arrives.
