Umbrellium is an award-winning pioneer in design and urban technology. We help cities experiment, organisations innovate & communities collaborate. Our current focus is on responding to the Climate Emergency by reinforcing connections between human, natural and urban systems.
-
Strategy
We take a creative approach to strategy & embrace the 'messiness' of cities to develop tactical programmes & digital masterplans.
-
Concept
Cities & their inhabitants are diverse & unpredictable. We conceive projects that encourage complexity rather than erasing it.
-
Design
We design interactive urban spaces & experiences that empower & engage, connecting people with each other & their environments.
-
Build
We build & deploy everything from interactive public places, dynamic streets & mixed-reality spaces, to IoT platforms & infrastructure.
