Hasier Larrea is an award-winning engineer, designer, and entrepreneur who is introducing robotic interiors to modern living. Recognizing the need for urban spaces that are versatile and vibrant, flexible and responsive, Larrea founded Ori, Inc. in 2015, challenging the world to see the potential in all spaces, unlocked by advances in technology and empowered by a different point of view that moves us toward a more affordable, accessible and sustainable urban future.

In this podcast, Hasier Larrea explores how the qualities of the digital world are coming into the physical world to change the way we see and look at spaces. Larrea dispute the general belief of more square footage meaning more functionality, envisioning future spaces as designed to adapt to individuals and as the solution to affordability in the urban environment. Hasier Larrea defines the city of the future as denser, with more people able to live in the city without the compromises of density, making it possible to live large in a small footprint.
