Design Philosophy

Less, But Better

Design principles that help you make better decisions. Learn from Dieter Rams, Mies van der Rohe, and other masters who shaped how we think about quality.

Weniger, aber besser

Less, but better. Not minimalism for its own sake—a way to focus on what matters. When you remove the unnecessary, what remains gets stronger.

This is how we work: before adding anything, we ask whether it earns its place. The same question applies to every feature, every word, every decision.

Simple isn't easy. It takes more effort to make something clear than to leave it complicated. That effort is worth it.

— How we evaluate research, design experiments, and deliver client work.

Featured Pattern

Crystallization

Your judgment, crystallized.

Encode human expertise into configurable constraints that AI agents execute within. One expert's taste scales through curated autonomy—not "no humans in the loop," but human judgment that shapes every decision without requiring constant presence.

The Automation Layer Across Properties

.io

Research

We research automation infrastructure patterns. Each paper answers a specific question with measurable results—feeding directly into WORKWAY.

.space

Practice

We teach how to build the automation layer. Experiments, exercises, and patterns for infrastructure that recedes into transparent use.

.agency

Services

We deliver automation infrastructure to clients. Systems that work while you sleep—built on the same platform as WORKWAY.
