Design Philosophy

‘SPACE TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS’
Good sensitive planning means the difference between an ordinary design and a good design. The building itself is just one element in the design process to create the new lifestyle.

‘GOOD DESIGN MEANS QUALITY MEANS VALUE’
Good design is simple, clean, practical, cost effective, unique, exciting, fun and comfortable. Practical no nonsense good design is elegant, refined, detailed, understated and timeless.

‘FORM IS A RESULT OF FUNCTION, BUDGET & NEEDS’
The good building structure creates a significant space within a site while being sensitive to climate and environmental demands. Creating a stunningly different and unique environment to live and work in is a direct response to the landscape, climate and culture of the region with an architecture developed in part from regional and international building traditions.

‘UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS REQUIRE A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE CLIENT NEEDS, THE BRIEF, A REALISTIC BUDGET & ACHIEVABLE PROGRAM’
The good building design should capture excitement, interest and liveability. The house is not just a space to live and work in but an experience that stimulates and excites the user.

‘GOOD ARCHITECTURE NEEDS PATIENCE, FUNDS, UNCOMPROMISING ATTITUDE AND COMMITTMENT’
Time spent in the planning stage enables the refinement needed to transform an ordinary design solution into quality design allowing design refinement and the achievement of design excellence. Good planning, good design and sensitive practical detail takes time. Quality is not cheap and the easy cheap way out always compromises design integrity. Good design needs a desire to create quality.

‘TO CREATE A HOUSE IS ONE THING A HOME IS ANOTHER’
Design for the user requires caring thoughtful design. Good communication between client and architect is the key to a successful project. The creation and understanding of a realistic brief is central to the act of creating a successful design.

‘GOOD ARCHITECTURE RELATES DIRECTLY TO ITS ENVIRONMENT’
The extensive use of glass assists to bring the outside in and the inside out. The extension of the internal floor finish past the external walls out and onto terraces with little change in level acts to extend the internal living space to include the terrace.

‘WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, THE IDEAS, THE EXPERTISE, THE TALENT AND THE EXPERIENCE’
The dramatic use of volume internally allows the designer to emphasise the formal public role of the space. The sensitive practical use of light, texture, finish and color are used to full effect to create drama, excitement and interest while extending the design of the built environment to take full advantage of the site, its location, the aspect and views.
