Architecture

The timeless task of architecture is to create meaningful form, embodied experiences and heighten your feelings within living spaces. Form is not just the physical shape and size of a work but also how the energy from the natural elements interacts with the work’s aesthetic structure and composition. Architecture achieves its expressive quality by establishing a connection to wood, fire, earth, metal and water: this dynamic can be observed in projects such as The Therme Vals, Switzerland, and Villa Mairea, Finland.

Since our senses inform our physical and emotional balance, architecture can be described as the art of awakening them to become one with an environment. Lived spaces are like familiar parts of our own body and being, and moving through and around a space is an intimate and transformative act that nourishes the spirit and resonates with the human soul. “We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us,” Churchill observed. Buildings are constructed in our own image and, as they reflect the complexity of being, they have the power to make us what we are. Architecture mirrors and sustains an ideal flow of life: of who we are from within.
