Systems in Practice
Where Modular Logic Meets Real Environments
Each project represents a unique application of Unit's modular philosophy. From architecture studios requiring adaptable workstations to cultural institutions demanding precision display systems, our work demonstrates how systematic thinking produces spaces that evolve with their occupants.
Reference Study - Curvature and colour, Basel archive
Featured Implementations
Architecture Studio Basel - 2023
Reconfigurable workstation ecosystem for 45-person collaborative environment. System accommodates individual focus work, team collaboration zones, model-making areas, and presentation spaces. Modular components enable quarterly spatial reorganization as project teams evolve.
Kunstmuseum Exhibition Infrastructure - 2022
Adaptive display system for contemporary art museum accommodating variable artwork dimensions and layouts. Precision rail system enables seamless reconfiguration between exhibitions. Integrated lighting and labeling infrastructure maintains aesthetic coherence.
Tech Innovation Lab Zuerich - 2024
Flexible workspace supporting both individual deep work and collaborative prototyping sessions. Mobile components enable rapid spatial reorganization from auditorium to workshop configuration. Acoustic treatments and integrated power distribution support diverse work modes.

Evolution of Unit Systems
From initial research prototypes to comprehensive spatial ecosystems - a chronology of modular intelligence.
Foundation Research
Initial investigations into modular furniture logic and Swiss precision manufacturing. Development of core geometric principles and connection systems.
First Commercial System
Launch of Unit.01 - foundational workstation module deployed in architecture studios across Switzerland. Established manufacturing partnerships.
Spatial Intelligence Framework
Expansion into comprehensive spatial systems. Introduction of vertical elements, storage integration, and adaptive configurations for diverse typologies.
Institutional Deployments
Major installations for cultural institutions and educational facilities. Development of exhibition-specific adaptations and display systems.
Digital Fabrication Integration
Implementation of parametric design tools and digital manufacturing processes. Launch of custom configuration platform for architects and designers.
