"The details are not the details. They make the design". - Charles Eames We believe that each of our designs are a reflection of the unique character of the site, to create a ‘sense of place’ that responds to climate and the local context. Opportunities for passive ventilation and cooling, natural light and views are maximised through design, sitting and orientation. Without engaging in a process of creative re-interpretation of a local vernacular, even the most perfect reproduction is lacking it’s presence in space and time, it’s unique existence at the place where it relates. Engaging in such a process draws in properties such as time, memories, myths, aspirations, creation, materials, form and context which are all key ingredients in an authentic architectural response. All elements of the building contribute to the whole, creating a balanced spatial environment. There is a sense of harmony and balance, common in Japanese architecture, spatial relationships, pauses or intervals, such as the ‘distance’ between two columns in a building, two rocks in a garden, or the interval between two musical notes. Environmental sustainability of our architecture is part of the process rather than an option. We incorporate sustainable principles and appropriate material selection in all our designs relevant to the brief.
