Practice

Architecture is the art we live in. It questions our preconceptions, finds the limits of innovation and enlightens our perspectives. Architecture needs a brave client.

 

We provide expert designs for select projects. We generate a specific and original design for each project, derived from the site, functional programme and construction technology. Concept shapes form, and form reshapes concept. We pursue design integrity and precision to optimise the efficiency of materials, energy and cost of construction. We engage seminal theory and combine sketching and model making with computer-aided design and analysis. Our commitment is to deliver an intelligent and enduring work of architecture.
