Light and Volume<br />

Architecture cannot exist without light; without it there is<br />

nothing to see. On the other hand, volume and surface are<br />

the characteristics through which architecture is revealed<br />

and are instrumental in animating light.<br />

These two defining elements are how we experience<br />

architecture and are therefore fundamental in our approach<br />

to design. Together they manifest themselves in why we<br />

consider spaces to be journeys, both in terms of what one<br />

sees and how you move through it as well as the surprises<br />

you experience along the way.<br />

Right: The eye is drawn upwards into<br />

a light-filled triple height void<br />

Bottom-left: Horizontal lines of porosity<br />

give glimpses of spaces beyond<br />

Bottom-right: A series of walnut clad<br />

balconies transcend the heart of this<br />

scheme<br />
