INTEGRITY
Our Values
INNOVATION
INCLUSIVITY
FORM | FUNCTION | FUNDAMENTALS
FORM represents the VISION that must work together with the FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTIONS that all building projects contain. We believe that all are interdependent and complementary. We aim to create a perfect balance among the three critical Logical and illogical items that create our concept approach.
OUR DESIGN APPROACH
AESTHETICS | ACOUSTICS | ADAPTABILITY
We present AESTHETICS to the audience - the client, the end user, the city as an ever lasting execution of our concept. Once the project ends, the aesthetic remains. The ACOUSTICS denote our sensory approach of sound, sight, touch, smell and feeling that create a unified experience in architecture, an experience that we believe should be ADAPTABLE allowing plug and play from the users of our buildings and spaces.
SUSTAINABILITY | SERVICES | SEQUENCE
The Environment is the lead concern for future generations and SUSTAINABILITY is a core approach toward building strategy, planning and execution. We believe in an earth first principle while achieving the targets of our clients and design building SERVICE systems that enhance use at decreased environmental impact. Our SEQUENCE of works follows a traditional and bigger picture thinking from the clients brief, to the handover of KEYS.
