Practice Ideology
The practice is focussed on relevant design which is not merely about form but more about why and how the project is formed. Process plays a very important part of their design. The unearthing of beauty in all their work comes from a study of the dynamics of the use and the intricate relationships it forms with its context. This is and will always remain the basis of the studio. This essence is one which they hold closely. Even if the narratives or projects get bigger or more complex the focus will always be less about making large things radical and more about looking at the smaller things radically. Their strength lies in transforming high value concepts into technically sound end products.
