In the world of constant (over-)stimulation and everchanging fashions, we want to make architecture that will last.

 

Vitruvius, in 'The Ten Books on Architecture', defined qualities that good buildings should possess: durability, functionality and beauty ('firmitas, utilitas, venustas') - we believe they are as important today as they were two thousand years ago. We avoid using rhetoric or following recent trends, rather seeking for clear, simple and straightforward solutions. We believe that simple and honest building is stronger than the one that shouts and desperately seeks for attention.
