OUR APPROACH

 

Design and Value

We provide unique design solutions to meet our clients' specific needs, sometimes under difficult site conditions and regulatory requirements. We seek design solutions harmonious with the site (natural or urban context), translating our clients' requirements into architectural forms in the most appropriate manner. Green (ecological/sustainable) design/planning is a part of our integrated approach. Quality design translates into greater value. High quality design can substantially increase the value - humanistic as well as economic - of projects.

Integrated Approach

A successful solution provides diversity and organized complexity in architectural spaces integral with human life. Similar to evolved ecological systems, the architecture organizes elements within and fits in a larger environmental context. Reaching toward both directions - to smaller and larger scale spaces - is crucial in our approach. Therefore, we design indoor and outdoor spaces at the same time to create a wholeness. The coordination is executed from the initial conceptual sketches through the final details in order to achieve a result that is integrated, aesthetically delightful and satisfying to human spirits.
