An Introduction



Site Innovation Laboratory (siLAB)


siLab is a research landscape and architect group that develops solutions for urbanization. Our solutions enable visions to be realized at their highest levels by combining design, construction, and technology. Our process explores combining the potential of academic concepts with the realities of the built world. We provide a mix of applied design, technology, and construction consulting services while working collaboratively in an interdisciplinary research setting.


Statement on Social Responsibility - Compassionate Growth Planning & Opportunities for the Greater Good


We combine design with ecological engineering to dramatically reduce construction costs and timelines, thereby making the vision of tomorrow’s urban realm accessible to and a reality for the world’s most vulnerable communities. Our goal is to shift the common definition of “city” and challenge the assumed static nature of its elements to create a more proformative, dynamic existence.


  • Combine design and ecological engineering

  • Reduce construction costs and time

  • Use technology to make solutions accessible

  • Positively affect vulnerable communities

  • Resilient and ecological infrastructure

What We Offer: The Plan and the Details


Consulting Strategic Solutions


Our consulting focuses on getting from intent to built reality. The standard industry delivers paperwork to meet these goals. We provide strategic solutions that are over-arching. For what we want to accomplish, the technologies have not been combined in the right way yet. Our goal is to push the boundaries of how / the process of architecture and construction for the future. We want to get past the city as a collection of objects. We can help define your abstract construction concepts.


Technology Consulting


Expanding the scope of design beyond that of documentation

Technology in today’s world of construction is as much a trade as a brick and mortar construction. We provide the expertise to deploy technology as a tool of design realization, and in turn, influence design through construction technology. The typical deliverables from the design industry/trade inherently have no value without the practical application. Technology allows the design industry to meet the needs of the construction team more efficiently.


Technology is the bridge between design and construction. The more translated the details in the design, the better the construction teams can perform and new technologies can be leveraged to implement on the ground.



Practical Application Services


A Core Skill Set – Ensuring relationships are an asset

We combine the lessons learned from each of the disciplines to generate practical solutions. With the knowledge of what each discipline needs, implementation challenges can be included in the initial design, rather than becoming changes late in the process.


  • Link each trade sector

  • Form successful teams

  • Create relationships between parties
