> Frontier architecture studio — vertically integrated across architecture, engineering, design, and software development. Two frontiers: space habitats for ESA, NASA, and Starlab, and pioneering Earth architecture through digital fabrication.

SAGA Space Architects is a Copenhagen and Hanoi-based studio, vertically integrated across architecture, engineering, design, and software development — every discipline in-house, from concept to construction. SAGA works across two frontiers: space architecture, and pioneering Earth architecture through digital fabrication.

In space, SAGA's Circadian Light payload has been operating aboard the International Space Station since 2023, surpassing 1,000 days in orbit. The LUNARK lunar habitat prototype was tested during a 100-day Arctic Greenland expedition in 2020, with 60 days inside the habitat. The FLEXHab astronaut training habitat was delivered to ESA at the European Astronaut Centre in 2024. SAGA is currently working on habitat design for Starlab's commercial space station.

On Earth, SAGA applies the same methods — topology optimization, generative design, 3D printing, and biogenic digital fabrication — to buildings that push what's possible. Skovsporet is Europe's largest 3D-printed housing development. The Mirador Pavilion in Guatemala is the largest 3D-printed structure in Central America, built in 16 hours of print time using local materials and traditional craftsmanship. EcoNeo is a 35m² biogenic summerhouse built using techniques derived from space engineering. Eden Villa, a 750m² private residence in Vietnam, features the world's largest electrochromic glass dome and pioneers rammed earth construction at architectural scale in Southeast Asia.

SAGA's design philosophy, Terra-Tech, holds that the most demanding design problems produce the best methods — and those methods belong in every building, not just the ones in orbit. The company is registered as SAGA Studio ApS (CVR 40872248).
