Neutral Workshop Vision

Neutral Workshop was started to augment Neutral’s componentized building systems with handcrafted elements that honor the century-old craftsmanship traditions of the cities we build. With this approach, we can combine the benefits of industrialized construction with the beauty of handcrafted design. We do not need to compromise on the speed of delivery and cost-effectiveness, and we can integrate meticulously designed, sustainably built, bespoke interior fit-out components into our projects. These carefully curated elements will infuse each space with a human touch, preventing the building from devolving into a soulless object. We aspire to evoke the timeless grandeur of neo-classical architecture, as seen in the great cities of Europe.
