About us

What we have done

IAADA (Ideahouse for Advanced Architecture and Design Associates) is an international award winning architecture and innovation company based in Sydney and Tehran. Operating at the overlap of design and technology we combine extensive architectural design experience with expertise in computational design and advanced fabrication methods. This enables us to deliver unique, culturally valuable and high performing projects that achieve significant material, labor and energy efficiencies. IAADA’s investment in advanced computational design approaches, emerging fabrication technologies and the rediscovery of artisanal processes enables a renewed pursuit of the non-standard and unique in design. Having worked for some of the most celebrated architects in the world on some of the most exciting (and expensive) projects, we got used to having the budgets to do almost anything! Since starting our own design practice, we clearly operate under different conditions yet our desire to create amazing architecture has not changed. Only now we work smarter across the areas of design, fabrication and construction to attain the same outcomes! IAADA’s fascination with the development of custom design tools and software therefore stems from a deep desire to include an increasingly diverse set of influences and concerns within the early stages of design. Our interest is more than simply improving workflows but is about expanding the architect’s skill set ensuring greater logistical control, precision and assurance.
