We believe that beautifully crafted spaces are a result of a rigorous process bereft of preconceived ideas; have the power to elevate everyday experience and connect us to nature.
“Here architecture seems to exist only for
the advancement of its setting, only to
enable us to see where and when we are”
“This careful calibration of architecture
and setting is an ethical enterprise, a work
of attentiveness and care: to take-care,
to care-for, to carry-forth, to let-be”

Professor of Architecture, The University Sydney
approach
our priorities
We understand the person and place before design ideas enter the picture.
Once these along with climate, micro climate, local planning regulations, available materials and crafts are researched; only then can the design process begin as a distillation of a complex set of variables leading to a unique and personal outcome. Functions are first resolved to a high level; only then can the emotional and experiential elements come into play and be expressed as form.
what we work with
Materials:
Materials and detailing are used carefully and consistently as part of a coherent whole rather than as a feature with the intention of the design to craft space and experience. The physicality is in a sense dematerialised with the framed views, light and shadow being the elements perceived.
Experience:
The experience of working in different parts of the world creates a unique perspective, starting with a honed understanding of the local conditions then drawing references of design typologies from other places and cultures deepening the scope and richness of design potentialities.
who we work with
Expert Consultants: We work closely with consultants’ from a position of understanding and knowledge which allows us to drive their work. Not only in terms of coordination with the architecture but to look beyond the safe norms to push structure, reducing material usage and mechanical/ electrical systems for high level integration of passive and active energy systems for Environmental Sustainable Design.

Landscape:
Artists & Craftsmen:
Our understanding of landscape allows us to work closely; with the best in their field to create integrated projects applying the same philosophical approach to both buildings and landscape.
