Pushing the boundaries of parametric design:
SOGA’s game-changing approach

Parametric design is a design method that uses mathematical formulas and algorithms to create intricate, adaptable, and customizable designs based on parameters such as shape, size, texture, and material. It enables designers to make changes and modifications to a design based on different factors like cost and material a vailability, resulting in highly adaptable designs tailored to specific needs. Parametric design can add value to a property by creating visually stunning and functional interior spaces, optimizing construction time and costs, and
tailoring the design to the occupant’s needs.

Parametric design is not a new concept and has been applied in different areas like engineering, product design, and architecture for many years. Nevertheless, with the progress of technology, it has become more accessible and increasingly adopted in the interior design industry.
