1000 Ants
A drafting studio in Saigon and Bali that turns laser scans and old plans into exact drawings for architects in Europe, to German standards.
1000 Ants is a drafting studio that works as the extended team of architecture firms in Europe. It has studios in Ho Chi Minh City and Bali and has been drawing to German standards since 2010.
The hard work behind the design
The studio takes on the detailed drawing work so that architects can concentrate on design. It turns laser scans of existing buildings into exact drawings, redraws old plans into clean files, produces two-dimensional layouts with virtual walk-throughs, and builds full building models.
Ready by morning
Because of the time difference the team works while its clients sleep, so finished files are in their inbox the next morning. Every drawing passes a quality check before it leaves.
Think of us as your colleagues in a sunnier office.
Where the discipline comes from
The studio began when a German architect taught a Vietnamese tour guide and his small team to draw. The standards they learned then, exact, on time and consistent, are the ones the whole of Oceanus works to.
