Elegance

Elegance is the quality of being pleasingly ingenious, simple and neat. It means clarification, functionality, as well as aesthetic identity and authenticity – being true to one’s values and feelings. Architectural elegance is the ultimate expression of care and empathy for the senses. The power of simplicity resides in the expressiveness of form, even at its most elementary level. Many buildings of historical importance only have a single, simple interior space, as the Pantheon in Rome, or an exterior mass, like the pyramids of Egypt. The observer is made to feel by engaging with a conceptual whole that is more than the sum of its parts.

Elegant compositions of fundamental shapes have the ability to carry us into a deeper dimension of feeling, where volumes and spaces give shape to a unique harmony through precise proportions and their relation to principles of higher balance. Elegance echoes the natural consonance of the universe and its harmonized totality, responding to inner sensibilities and enticing the senses.
