HEMET Labs
Applied research for spatial and digital design
HEMET Labs is the applied R&D division behind the studio's proprietary tools, artificial intelligence systems and spatial experiments. Research and production sit in the same workflow.
Research tracks
Three methods, one pipeline
01
Computational research
Applied research directly informs production pipelines and spatial workflows, from material and light studies to performance testing of concepts before they reach visualization.
02
Machine intelligence
Generative algorithms and machine learning extend human spatial design capabilities, surfacing options that designers evaluate, refine and carry forward with judgement.
03
Prototyping
Open experiments test sensory immersion and computational form in working prototypes, so ideas are tested against how people will actually encounter them.
Stack and framework
Design intelligence built on an open, editable foundation
Our experiments run on a documented technical stack: a headless CMS for editing projects, services and articles, and a data-driven framework that connects research findings to design decisions. The stack is specified in full and can be extended as the work demands.
