THE BIG PICTURE
We’ve always dared to venture into the unknown in the pursuit of answering the bigger questions. This quest has led us to challenge conventions, explore advanced technologies, and continuously push creative boundaries to address real-world challenges. It's within these creative frictions that UNS thrives.

For over 35 years, we have grown into an international design and consulting practice that incorporates the disciplines required to understand people’s needs and create meaningful and healthy experiences. We consider the societal as well as the individual. The climate requirements as well as the commercial. The future as well as the present. Covering every conceivable angle. Whatever impacts people is important - and we take pride in finding design solutions that others miss.
Fuelled by a passion to question and provoke, we are pushing the practice forwards, challenging ourselves to ask questions others won’t, seize bold possibilities and devise innovative solutions.
The key to our success? Our people.
Our studio is more than a workplace, it’s a melting pot of expertise where creative friction sparks innovation, leading to design solutions that deliver beyond the brief, no matter how big, small, complex or simple.
Solutions for today, thinking for tomorrow
We believe in the power of design to create change. With a clear understanding of the economic requirements and constraints in every project, our goal remains to design environments that are socially, sustainably, and ethically responsible. We are self-critical as an organisation, constantly striving to improve and evolve.
With over 400 employees across seven global offices in Amsterdam, Austin, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Melbourne and Shanghai, we are not just architects. We are masters of the unseen; visionaries who delve deeper, uncovering the potential in every brief. Bold thinkers who dare to venture where others don’t. Doers who turn the seemingly impossible into reality. From cities to airports, buildings to bridges, experiences to brands and products, our teams generate fresh ideas and innovative solutions to tackle some of today’s most pressing societal challenges.
We challenge the status quo, collaborating with clients, partners, and industry experts to contribute to a greener, healthier, and smarter built environment. By doing so, we aim to empower users and foster stronger, future-ready communities.

Research and Innovation
Our solutions are born from innovation beyond the cosmetic. We use technology and human ingenuity to study behaviour and spot what others don’t. With a deeper understanding of social, psychological and environmental needs, we deliver exceptional human experiences. We have our sights set beyond architecture, expanding into adjacent fields, working with the most ambitious clients and collaborators around the world to deliver intelligent design solutions.
