About Us:

DOMAT is a not-for-profit architecture practice...

We work with communities and people who do not normally have access to architects. We believe that everybody is entitled to a good living environment, and that good design should be available at all levels of society. Through the processes of research, design and implementation, we engage with local people in order to understand the communities involved. DOMAT is based in Hong Kong, providing architectural services to villages and cities throughout China.
