Philosophy

Design Ethos

We believe buildings and design are deeply rooted in the individual experience. It is brought to life by how people experience buildings and how buildings affect them. Our work seeks to reconnect people with their senses and the physical experience of their environment, achieving this through the careful use of pure and tactile materials, quality of light and space, resulting in a clear and timeless design.

Quality

Quality is connected to a set of values and is an open concept built on knowledge. It is a combination of aesthetics, technology, economy and environment in a working entity that characterises the quality of a successful design.

The strategic direction of the practice is set by the directors. Overseeing the day-to-day management, quality and the design ethos of the practice, they have the overall responsibility for every project, from the start of the design process through to technical detailing and construction.

Wellness and Sustainability

We believe that good design should be intrinsically sustainable. It is also imperative we keep pace with the latest thoughts, evolution and technical developments in sustainable design. We aim to extend our capabilities further than simple environmental standards. We believe that prevailing thinking in current sustainability and design is going beyond the carbon footprint of a building or its energy efficiency to include the health of the occupants inside the building, or the ‘wellness factor’.

Collaboration & Research

Every project is approached with a fresh outlook and we are devoted to the idea of collaboration and exploration. We welcome opportunities to work with a multi-disciplinary team and cultural thinkers as we believe this makes our practice more resilient and intellectually exciting. Our concepts become meaningful through continuous dialogue, with communication as a prerequisite to achieving a carefully considered and exemplary project.
