All our concepts are born out of careful consideration of the context and landscape in which they are situated. Our work strives to enhance our sense of surroundings, identity and relationship to others and the physical spaces we inhabit. Sustainability comes from respecting the environmental -physical and human- local conditions and history.
We observe each space on its ecological, social and perceptual aspects, carefully documenting all the associated parameters. Orientation, sun exposure, shading, prevailing winds are as important as human and vehicle flows, dominant uses or view openings and frames.
Site analysis is the crucial first step in design, where we deeply study a location’s physical (topography, climate) & contextual (legal, social) factors to find opportunities and constraints, directly informing the conceptual design phase, which then translates these insights into initial big-picture ideas, sketches, and layouts that guide the project’s form, function, and overall vision before detailed development, ensuring the final building or landscape integrates harmoniously and effectively with its environment.
