The power of ‘simple’. A calm pallette of constructive materials, aimed at creating harmony in a peaceful environment, finding richness in natural textures; in breathing wood, in the rythm of plant life, the smoothness of concrete or stone, the sound of bare feet.

The challange of detail. Taking the project to the level of the smallest consideration, anticipating through experience, demanding ourselves to look closer and work harder to provide those subtle elements that make the moment perfect.

Making room for space. Taking down obstacles replacing them with depth and functionality, using moving partitions instead of walls, glass instead of brick, pulling exteriors into interiors, playing with levels and green partitions to create distinct environments connected by an open plan.

Listening to light. Sensing it as it changes and controlling its effect on our living space. Using it to join or divide environments providing intimacy or dimension, silence or color, a warm welcome, a quiet moment. Combining materials and technology to transfer or contain it when and where it matters.

Understanding quality. Design to simplify, both through visible and hidden elements, contemporary and timeless, to survive the test of time.

Weakness into strength. Transforming a small balcony into a galleria filled with succulent plants, and this new exterior into a window visible from every area of the living space. An initial lack of exteriors can suggest open architecture, carefully oriented to the source of natural light.
