Architecture
1/ Beyond the Horizon
The angular forms symbolize power, embodying a sense of precision and sharpness in architectural design.
Civil buildings represent the intersection of function and symbolism and stand as testaments to collective identity and societal values.
Office buildings, the silent structures of the urban skyline, symbolize the evolving nature of workspaces. People seeking a space that contains structure, connection and routine, changing their relationship with these spaces.
Scale in architecture can evoke a sense of authority, dominance, often associated with institutional or government buildings.

2/ Roots of Renewal
Sedimentary layers mirroring the natural processes of the Earth. Layered rhythms, echoing geological formations and organic growth.
Spaces are fully immersed into their surroundings, dissolving the boundary between built and natural environments.
Wood is a storyteller, ageing with time.
Local materials and traditions, architecture harmonizes with the landscape, embedding itself in the rhythms of its environment.
By drawing from regional craftsmanship, indigenous knowledge, and natural resources, the design feels both timeless and deeply connected to its place.

3/ A New Kind of Freedom
Follies are architectural playgrounds, blending historical decorative buildings with contemporary imagination. Their prime function is to surprise and delight
Buildings that possess a magical quality, as if suspended between reality and myth.
Hand-carved surfaces and intricate joinery bring a tactile depth to architecture, celebrating human ingenuity and skill.
Cave-like spaces where water, shells, and shadows create a theatrical interplay.
By blurring the line between realism and dreamlike fantasy, architecture borrows from the theatre and plays to shape atmospheres that entertain.

4/ The Power of One
Spaces to preserve individual autonomy, offering privacy and freedom. Where people can define and regulate their surroundings, empowering the user with choices and influence over their environment.
Modular units, personal spaces within a larger environment, to create both connection and separation as needed.
Skeletal surfaces and structures, supportive forms, prioritizing function and its underlying form.
