Structure & Materials

Structure & materials are expressed - the building explains to us what it is, what it is made of & how it is put together.

This makes the logic of the building visible therefore giving it honesty. Materials such as off-form concrete, fair-face brick, timber, steel etc are used – materials that express themselves for what they are. A small palette of materials to create a calm uncluttered ambience with low maintenance costs.

We don’t use cladding finishes that hide the building structure, or a clutter of materials that destroy space.
