LOT-EK is a full-scope architecture studio that focuses on designing buildings and environments by upcycling industrial objects/systems including - though not limited to - the shipping container. As a full-scope architecture design studio, LOT-EK develops custom-designed projects from Concept Design, to Construction Drawings/Specifications (including coordination of engineering, permitting and bidding), and Fabrication/Construction Supervision.
LOT-EK is an international architecture design studio. We design and oversee the fabrication/construction of buildings and environments all over the world. Our buildings are designed to respond
LOT-EK is not a fabrication/construction company. We do not fabricate or sell any of our projects directly. We have developed and keep developing relationships with fabricators and contractors in many parts of the world as we believe that projects should be fabricated/built locally.
We bring the design and technical know-how and we look for fabrication/construction capabilities wherever our project are.
Who We Are and What We Do
Charlie Lazor is the Principal and design team leader at Lazor/Office, founded in 2003.Charlie received his BA from Williams College and graduated from Yale School of Architecture in 1993. In 1996, after gaining experience at the offices of Gray Organschi Architecture and Roth & Moore Architects, he co-founded the award-winning furniture design company Blu Dot with the goal of making modern design more widely accessible. This is reflected in Lazor/Office's attention to detail and emphasis on how buildings are put together. The office design philosophy places primacy on “place making” - developing a sensitive, integrated architectural response to make the natural and the man made one, to experience site and space holistically. We begin with a rigorous study and analysis of your site’s specific composition: the obvious and the not so obvious, the views, the light, the breezes, the climate. We study and analyze your program; how you want to live, work, play. We investigate materials that are ecologically responsible, responsive to the site conditions, support your program and reflect who you are and your sensibility. We seek to synthesize all of this such that the outcome appears obvious, inevitable. Architecture is put into the service of making place, for us.

Our commitment to providing a superior service to our clients is extended with membership in Designgroup New Zealand, enabling larger scale projects to be undertaken, drawing on a range of resources and expertise from partnering practices. We strive for the highest standards of client service, design and documentation. At the completion of each project the aim is to have achieved a building that is beyond the client’s expectations. We believe good design will produce sustainable, functional and dramatic spaces and buildings that have an enduring quality over time.
Each project is analysed for its special requirements and opportunities: the end result being not a preconceived idea but a combination of the client’s requirements and desires, a response to the site and the budget. Critical consideration is given to the project’s specific environmental and historical context, and to the appropriate use of materials and construction methods.
We convert containers into offices, homes, studios, tack rooms, concession stands, garages and more.
Building a container home really depends on what suits your needs. It takes a lot of researching and planning to get to your desired result. You will have to consider a lot of factors but at the end of the day, safety and comfort is still the most important thing to consider when building a shipping container home.
The practice is a diverse and full-service design collaborative that examines and explores practical ways to integrate client needs, project cost limitations, physical construction, energy conservation opportunities and innovation with local climate and living systems in a timely and responsive way.
It embraces the philosophy that all things are inter-connected and merely exist at different levels of perception and reality, some large and some small, some visible and some hard to see. Embracing a whole systems thinking approach to problem solving, it explores patterns at all scales from macro to micro to explore and develop ways to integrate natural and man-made materials and systems.
The design process is a problem-solving approach that considers design, engineering and space-making as an organic process of investigation, discovery and collaboration. This results in a practical and functional, yet aesthetically balanced and responsive, organic architecture.
