01 • Our approach

Spaces shaped around the people who use them.

We bring form, function and feeling together, respecting cultural roots while responding to contemporary needs.

Understand the place and the brief

Site analysis, zoning, budget and the way people will use a building inform the first design decisions.

  • Site conditions and planning constraints
  • Project viability and budget forecasting
  • User needs and spatial relationships

  • Conceptual and schematic design
  • Materials, finishes and spatial character
  • Tradition and modernity considered together
