The brief & the object
Project context, dimensions, drawings, material choices and finishes have a place together. Design revisions and approval records help the team refer back to what has been decided.
WOL-OS · Web of Life Operating System
The system behind the studio.
Our own operating system for the people, materials and decisions behind the work.
Built for Web of Life, WOL-OS brings project briefs, design records, workshop tasks, quotations and quality checks into one private workspace. It supports the studio team across Auroville and Hyderabad.

Why we built it
A piece carries many decisions.
A bespoke piece involves drawings to review, materials to understand, tasks to coordinate and details to check. We built WOL-OS around these needs: a shared place for the studio to organise the work and keep the decisions behind it connected.
What the system connects
From the first brief to the final review.
People & workshop tasks
Assigned work, progress updates and reported issues connect the people organising a project with the people making it. Each role has a focused view of the work.
Materials & inventory
Material needs and stock records sit alongside the work. The workshop team can record requirements and material requests as a piece develops.
Progress & documentation
Workshop updates, photographs and supporting documents help record the journey of a piece. Notes give the team context for discussions, corrections and the next step.
Quotations & approvals
Structured quotations bring item descriptions, specifications and project terms together. Reviewed revisions can be issued as branded PDF documents with the appropriate Auroville or Hyderabad details.
Quality & handover
Inspection notes, quality status and dispatch records help the team review a piece and coordinate its handover. The people responsible make the final judgements.
One practice · connected people
Three views of the same work.
Founder
An overview of projects, key decisions and approvals.
Manager
A working view of people, workshop activity, assignments and issues.
Workshop
Focused access to assigned work, updates, photographs and material requests.
WOL-OS supports coordination. Design decisions, approvals and quality judgements remain with the people responsible for the work.
For a commission
A clearer record, throughout the making.
The purpose is practical: help the team keep your brief in view as a piece develops, refer back to decisions and understand what needs attention.
You work directly with the studio team. WOL-OS supports our internal coordination; your conversations, design reviews and project updates are handled by the people working with you.
