Function, place, aspirations, stories and people are the most important and simplest tenets to define the style of a building and what separates it from another. These define the core idea of the design, which then translates into the various elements of design: form, space, construction and material, to evolve into its own style. The aesthetics of a project are never defined at the beginning but grow within this core idea with a larger picture in mind and the style evolves to have its own strong characteristics which will give the space its identity.
As Buckminister Fuller once said: “When I’m working on a problem, I never think about beauty. But when I’ve finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it’s wrong.” We feel that this process is very important as it lends each space, each person, and each building its own distinct character, its peculiarities, its culture and style thereby telling the story of the project, evolving and being able to withstand the test of time.
