A Point of View on Making

d+workshop creates light fixtures, feature walls, tables, desks, graphic signage, architectural details, and similar things.

These sculptural objects anchor moments within a space, the way the architecture anchors the larger site. We work collaboratively with a carefully selected network of makers and fabricators, treating process as essential to the product. We believe the story of making should have a story worth telling.

Founded and directed by Robin Donaldson & F. Myles Sciotto, the d+workshop grew out of the R+D Studio within Donaldson + Partners, the architectural firm whose work spans bespoke custom residences, among them the documented and internationally published Hill House in Montecito and the Nine Fold House as well as commercial projects for clients including Google. These projects demanded non conventional thinking; a continuous practice of invention, material experimentation, and making as a mode of problem-solving.

OTHR_space

An art gallery with abstract paintings on white walls, some behind glass display cases, with track lighting on the ceiling illuminating the artwork.

The OTHR_space is our workshop for making and gallery for exhibiting. Where our thoughts meet material, where the process becomes tangible and unable to ignore. It is a space to collect & create, curate & converse. To live amongst, to arrange & rearrange, and to play.

It is a champion of material, substance, and process. It is where drawings, models, mockups, publications, & exhibitions can blend and become something, something different, something OTHR…
