We are a hybrid design studio with the mission of addressing social and urban problems through sustainable and inclusive methodologies. While the word "SOUR" is a play on our mission to address social and urban issues, the meaning describes our attitude. We don't shy away from challenges. We might stick out with an opinion or the questions we ask, but we embrace the discomfort. Like the biological process of sour dough making, we take our time: to research, synthesize and ideate in order to generate data-inspired and purposeful design solutions. We believe the world has spent enough time sugar coating, it is time we get real, confront and be SOUR.
