/ a point of view on making

built ideas…the moment a thought gains weight, takes shape, and stands in the world as proof that imagination can harden into architecture.

d+workshop creates authored pieces…sculptural, intentional objects that anchor moments within a home, the way the architecture anchors the site itself. We work collaboratively with a carefully selected network of makers and fabricators, treating process as essential to the product.

We find preciousness in the everyday by working with conventional materials, steel, fiberglass, and wood in unconventional ways. Every piece is conceived for a specific moment, a specific space, a specific time; this temporality is part of what makes the work matter.

Documentation is part of the work. Every piece arrives with its process revealed, the hands, the thinking, the material exploration that shaped it. We believe people should know who made what they live with, and that understanding the story deepens appreciation.

d+workshop is directed by Robin Donaldson and F. Myles Sciotto and located in Santa Barbara California.

/ partner with us on a project

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…
