03 / Our approachFrom site to detail

Start witha closer look.

Light, proportion and movement are the starting points. The design develops through a series of questions.

Observe

What is already here?

Read the site: where light falls, how people move, and which views matter. These observations give the design a starting point.

How do the spaces connect?

Test the plan, the proportions and the route through each room. Consider where to open a view, create shelter or invite a pause.

Does every detail belong?

Resolve the materials, edges and junctions. Check each decision against the experience of the space as a whole.
