Philosophy

We practise architecture. We strive to be fluent in the use of form, space and surface.

We are inspired by complexity and diversity. We regard the challenge of resolution as essential to the enjoyment of good design (pluralism and eclecticism).

We embrace a unifying geometry of form. We carefully consider stylistic compatibility.

We enjoy free form and circle forms. We still flirt with the flat, the square, the right angle, and the effect of making repetitive units.

We make a unity of natural and made forms. We respond to environmental characteristics of the site. We engage in active solar design, recycling, grey water and ecological design.

We seek out builders and trades with craft skills. We integrate them with the high tech building environment.

We promote the friction between styles. We pursue the fringes of modernism.
