PHILOSOPHY
Contextuality
Each project is situated in its unique context and is an opportunity for a dialogue and demands a genuine engagement that avoids force-fitting ideas and images borrowed from elsewhere or previous projects.
Sustainability
A living philosophy intrinsic to good design beyond the bureaucracy of rating systems. Build for use, to last, for efficiency and adaptability. Reduce extraction, optimise resources.
Timeless Beauty
Defend authentic human experience beyond passing trends. Create objects, spaces and places that evoke emotions and delight. Design must celebrate the everyday, elevate it to art… one that acquires meaning when inhabitated. It’s the Scenography for real life.
Open Iteration
Architect as catalyser of a collaborative, open and iterative process that is enriched by ideas and wisdom of all involved. Design should create opportunities not constraints
Rigour
The ‘built’ is confronted to structural and material questions, involves multiple agencies. The collaboration and delegation that is necessary for a design to manifest correctly needs rigour document and resolution.
