We make spaces for people. 

 

We think about the user, and design based on a PERSON who will use the space. 

​

Communities and the public deserve well thought-out and safe places to share and play, with values of inclusiveness and diversity. 

Behind every project is a story. Our role is to reveal that identity in the built form. We are listening to your voice and your history that will make your project unique.  

​

This mindset and communication approach creates authentic down-to-earth projects rooted in their place and time, special projects in their own right. 

We may be an international Atelier, but our global experiene has taught us the importance of LOCAL values. We work hard with urban diagnostics and community surveys to integrate the context  of every project, be it urban, climatic, or socio/economic.

 

We also know every place has different materials and construction methods. Ideas cannot be copy/pasted from place to place. A respect for artisanal creation and tradesmen in every location creates quality.

Function = beauty.
Do we need to say more? We want to talk about volumes and uses to make the most optimal space. Decoration is not architecture. We search for the essence of your use to create comfortable and functional spaces.

 

Ideas, emotions, and areas can be expressed with materials. The most modest re-used and locally sourced materials can created the biggest impact.  

Every action we take can have an impact on our natural environment. We aim to create space with and with respect for Nature, to  link people with the outdoors, and to postively influence the eco-systems around us as much as possible. 

 

The sun and light are part of nature. These elements are obligatory integrations in any project to anchor a project in its environment and take advantage of the beauty of natural light.  

We must think at a regional and global scale to make responsible decisions for future generations.

​

Resilience is planned for. We prioritize design to last a lifetime.

 

We believe in using architecture and urban design to make a more just, equal and accessible quality of life for years to come.
