BIM (building information modelling)

We have extensive exterience of using BIM on both small residential and historic projects, as well as on large public buildings. We use BIM on all our projects to improve efficency, perform better project coordination, and reduce costs. We also use computational design tools to provide accurate manufactuing information and create beautiful, intricate, highly ornamented buildings quickly and efficiently.

Philosophy

When it comes to our core philosophy and principles, we are rather different.

Whilst the majority of architects are still caught up in the hangovers from 20th century modernism and postmodernism, we believe there is an alternative.

Taking and adapting an amalgamation of principles from an assortment of great philosophers, architects, naturalists, writers and scientists, we believe in creating architecture that follows on from a certain philosophical and ontological position.

The exact nature of that position is too complex to be summed up here, but its results are a set of strong principles that we always follow in our work.
