METALAB

ABOUT METALAB
METALAB — urban laboratory located in Ivano-Frankivsk. We focus on sustainability, community development, affordable housing, and product design. METALAB projects unite people with shared values around various processes and products. Then, our purpose is to facilitate these communities and help them on their way to building inclusive, sustainable, and comfortable living spaces.

Our current work centers on two projects: product design and makerspace POLE and CO-HATY, creating affordable housing for those who lost their homes due to the war.

VISION
METALAB strives to see Ukrainian cities and communities developing socially equal, spatially comfortable, culturally rich spaces where the economy works in accordance with the needs and limitations of the environment.

MISSION
To achieve this, METALAB aims to facilitate communities with shared values and create a favorable environment for experimentation, where the socio-spatial potential of spaces can be developed and tested in practice.
