The focus of the projects arises from a double commitment: the will to give a technical response to a specific context and the desire to seek beauty through the built work, pursuing the satisfaction of all those who actively participate in development, in special for users, but also for collaborators, builders and designers.
Values such as continuity -with the environment, of the spaces and over time-, innovation and the use of new materials and new technologies and precision are some of the keys of the work system. These values are complemented by dialogue, great attention to a wasteless economy and a team that produces an environment of shared creativity.
Values
Architecture can be small in the big or big in the small, if each commission is understood as an opportunity to materialize a good project. The project approach arises from a double commitment: the will to give a technical response to a specific context and the desire to seek beauty through the built work.
New project in Bagdad, Iraq: Shatt Al-Arab House
In many cases, it is the constraints themselves that shape the project almost unintentionally. The site was located at street level on one of the busiest avenues in the city of Baghdad, with a specific geometry defined by the urban fabric. The proposal envisions the construction of a dwelling that brings together a daytime living area, two nighttime rooms, and a space for physical exercise.
