Architect +
Builder
Élan values a collaborative approach with architects and designers to ensure that preliminary sketches through to complex technical details are realised to completion without compromising design and aesthetic intent. This often includes a component of research, development and prototyping to test and resolve big picture and fine grain details of a build upfront, yielding enormous time and cost savings for clients.
“Élan’s strength is its ability to move between hand-crafted or machine tasks as required. Ancient joinery techniques and high tech machining are given equal weight. Ultimately they want to make things that have beauty and longevity.”
— David Whittaker, Senior Associate, Hassell
Man +
Machine
Élan marries the beauty of the hand-made and the precision of the machine-made to create exceptional spaces and furniture. Blurring the line between tradition and technology, we merge bespoke joinery techniques with CNC machinery to execute meticulous products and builds in new commercially scalable ways. Our signature touch is that of hand-crafted integrity.
"Boris has a wealth of experience, a detailed understanding of all facets of the design/build process and an amazing dexterity of thinking which are invaluable when problems arise. The next best thing to having a magician in the project team.”
— John Cullen, Principal, Cullen Feng
