A studio built around the window

Three rules we draw by
Light first
We site every room by the sun before we draw a wall, and test each plan against a full year of daylight.
Materials that age
Honed stone, oiled oak, unsealed brass. Chosen so a home looks more like itself in ten years, not less.
One team, start to finish
The architect who sketches your floor plan is the one who walks you through it at handover.
The hands behind every residence
Nineteen architects, engineers and makers in Lisbon and Dubai. The person who sketches your floor plan is the one who walks you through it.

I draw the window first, then the room around it.
