MANIFESTO

“we are more than the sum of our parts…so is our environment…”

Bllend is a multidisciplinary design and research office dedicated to the research of the organic interrelationships that can develop between topography, lighting, the environment, nature and humanity.

With a human-centered approach to design, it provides unique architectural identities that translate into a variety of applications — architecture, furniture and interior design, branding, landscape, lighting — or the interweaving of these diverse disciplines into one organic entity.

Within a contextual research-based framework, Bllend’s methodology involves working in unison with clients, the design team and the construction team to develop a design concept through the implementation of materials, technology and expertise. The personalized concept of each project facilitates the merging of landscape, material, form, light, technology and the human element into one organic entity with the purpose of supporting wellness and longevity.

To quote Eero Saarinen: “Always design a thing by considering it in its larger context — a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan…”
