Our architecture is driven by a belief that the quality of our
surroundings has a direct
influence on
the quality of our lives, whether at home, in the workplace, the cultural building or the
public
realm. The same thinking applies at the larger scale of infrastructure, whether that is a
commercial building, Residential building, Affordable Housing or anything else.
Design in that sense is all-embracing, ranging from the functional and environmental
performance of a building to a concern for its physical and cultural context. Not least is a
concern
for the ‘poetic’ dimension, such as we find in the modelling and sculpting of spaces by
natural
light.
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness”
We believe that architecture should provide a seamless experience, from outside to inside. The starting point is to gain an understanding of a client’s needs and the way in which a room, or sequence of spaces will be used. We have created interiors that span the spectrum from private houses to office towers. The quality of light, the choice of materials, the use of colour, and the selection of furnishings and works of art are coordinated as part of the overall scheme; and each element involves the same process of questioning and refinement as the building itself.
“The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live.”
