PHILOSOPHY
The architectural research always begins with the study of essentiality in relation to technology and client request. The design force is concentrated on the refinement of reduced elements that are then accentuated by the contraposition of evocative agents in the communal imagination. The results make strong impact, are emotive, borrow images from the memory and communicate on different levels from functional to artistic. The image is strongly attached to spatial and architectural character elements, effects, emotional spaces and nature that are only present subconsciously stimulate the memory of the user.
Clean – displaying forms and shapes that appear and move with artful efficiency Minimal – so simple and so aware of its goal that the minimum of elements arrive at the maximum of expressivity Spiritual – not necessarily yet certainly expansive, a yearning for the transcendence of the banal and the quotidian Elegant – movement through space and time is graceful without being sugary, careful without being cautious, precise without being mathematical Truth – is rarely pure never simple, nature accepts only true actions Surreal – is not unreal or psychedelic, it rather re-aligns the real into alarming configurations Time – age patina as quality improve and last with time. Style not fashion
All stages of the projects from the very beginning, due diligence, design, budgeting, authorization and approval, companies selection, worksite, until the handover are carefully and professionally directed to ensure delivery of high quality that satisfies client’s needs and expectations.
For the first time ever I did not want to take any decision on which colour to use, I wanted to be driven by what was already there by recycling the mood of images of different brands communications. The result was unexpected, strong, imaginative, stimulating and potent.
