At Slí Nua Studio, we believe that meaningful change happens through co-production and co-design, by working with people rather than designing for them. Our practice is rooted in human-centred and regenerative principles, guided by ethics, empathy, affordability, and inclusion. We understand vulnerability not as a personal condition, but as isolation: the inability to access opportunities, spaces, or collective life within one’s own geography. The Studio therefore operates as a living system rather than a set of silos, where learning, creativity, civic engagement, and economic activity support one another. We trust in human potential and in the capacity of people to collaborate, mediate, and care collectively for shared resources. At Slí Nua, art and creativity are not reserved for a few, they are rights, tools, and common ground through which communities can imagine, build, and sustain more just and regenerative futures.
Slí Nua’s DNA lies in a catalytic integration of regenerative tools, social engineering, urban living lab methodologies, and co-production practices, enabling the translation of theory into situated action and lived spatial transformation.
