Sketch your site

Set a footprint and a height, then move the sun. It is how every one of our projects starts: a block, a shadow, a question.

Approach

Three principles that hold every project in place.

01

Order first

Plans begin with proportion. Modules, bays, and alignments are resolved before ornament is considered.

02

Honest material

Stone, timber, lime, and metal are used as themselves, no veneers, no false age, no borrowed history.

03

Light as structure

Openings are cut for the path of the sun. Shadow is treated as a building material equal to concrete.

Begin a conversation

Commissions, competitions, and collaborations. We work slowly and completely.

  1. Site visit. We walk the ground with you and read the light.
  2. Massing. Two or three blocks, in cardboard and on paper.
  3. Design. Plans, sections and materials, drawn until they are quiet.
