DESIGN PHILOSOPHY - APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
We believe that there are three basic criteria for a useful and human architecture:
a. It should be economically feasible
Our approach to design is an analytical one to begin with. Whenever possible we prefer to work directly with the "users",
for whom we are programming and designing in order to develop the detailed needs.
Our design forms are derived from existing building context and landscape where appropriate, thus our Design
Approch could be described as "Contextualism". Therefore, our buildings blend in comfortably with the existing environment,
both man made and natural landscape.
In design, we emphasize:
a. Efficient circulation patterns
