LIFE - CONTEXT – CONTENT - CONSISTENCY

With our experience and craft each project should be unique and meaningful. During the long process that takes the development of a building, from its conceptualization to its execution, we ensure that four core values are present throughout the different scales and design decisions:

LIFE

Architecture is meant to amplify life, contain it, and celebrate it. This way every act that constitutes living has a place and beauty in space: eating, sleeping, contemplating, listening, praying, being silent, looking, playing, singing, loving.

CONTEXT

Architecture must resonate with the different contexts: topographical, landscape, urban, and also material. Geometry, materials, textures, construction methods, colors, light, references, and vegetation, among others, are all elements and layers that help establish and deepen the connections between the project and its context.

CONTENT

Architecture also carries meaning, and good architecture is capable of having an impact on both the physical and cultural reality. Throughout history, buildings, monuments, and cities that have been carefully crafted have remained as transcendent facts. When attempts have been made to forget them, their ruins have resurfaced with more strength. The words of Victor Hugo are one of the best definitions of architecture: “Architecture is the great book of humanity, the main expression of man in his various stages of development, either as force or as intelligence.”

Consistency

Master planning, landscaping, architecture, and interior design are, in principle, distinct disciplines and scales of a project, but ultimately work together to achieve a cohesive and unified experience. The control and consistency between the whole and the details should be the axis that supports and integrates the different layers of the design.
