Introducing the blng studio Journal — Notes on Design, Culture & Context.

Design doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s shaped by dialogue, curiosity, and the world around us.

The blng studio Journal is where we share reflections from our practice and the encounters that inform it: moments that connect architecture, culture, and collaboration.

Here, we’ll explore how design evolves across disciplines — from the precision of craft to the renewal of existing buildings, from the conversations that drive industry change to the quieter observations that shape our daily work.

Each piece offers a window into what inspires and challenges us: the detail behind a breakfast conversation on craftsmanship, insights from design summits and exhibitions, and reflections on how architecture can foster connection, belonging, and long-term value.

Whether you’re a client, collaborator, or simply curious about the ideas behind the work, this is a space to pause, reflect, and see how design continues to shape the way we live and build.
