Identity In our technology-dominated hemisphere architecture seems to be the last human artefact that is not mass-produced in large series and off a template. There is a reason to complain about it, because the price we pay for architecture is high in comparison to the other products, and will stay high. We see in that an invaluable opportunity to create the last haven of individuality. It commands us to create a living space that gives us identity. For us, every building must have a face of its own that expresses its character as it shapes up in a dialogue with its surroundings. Our architecture must fulfil two conditions: it must be faithful to our principles and it must remain original. Simplicity Creating objects in the simplest way imaginable is our ideal. This restraint in form and the emphasis on oneness of materials grow out of our belief that things of beauty, simplicity and functionality last longer. Oneness And Variety Urbiculture in the European tradition requires a balancing act between the homogeneity of a oneness and the diversity of its individual components.An excess of homogeneity spells uniformity and barren monotony. Too much diversity, on the other hand, invites chaos.The balance between a oneness and a variety, which still continues to shape most European cities, tells an individual architect to exercise restraint. As we see it, architecture is an applied art that furnishes a living space for man.A well-designed and well-shaped normality always has a premium over a mediocre exceptionality. Innovations Finding answers to specific questions, creating concepts that respond to individual functional requirements and living up to the challenges of material and structure are what makes the design process so fascinating.We especially care for new forms of organising work and industrial production to promote better labour conditions, quality and productivity. Structure There is no pure structure just as there is no pure technique. Both need a form to exist, a form that has to be invented, designed and drawn. There can be an ugly form that will nevertheless play its function at a huge expense of materials that pile up around it simply to hide it. However, one can also create subtle structures that, while saving materials, radiate aesthetic modesty. Such structures invariably stem from logic. In this way we marry a meaning, economy and ecology to aestheticism to bring forth an almost inexhaustible repertory of forms. Act of Building Our purpose is to design and implement investment projects on comprehensive, "turnkey" basis. We are gratified that we have not lost the meaning of our actions and have kept up the workmanship prowess all through to the smallest detail, in spite of a big amount of work at hand. We believe that assuming responsibility marks the sole way to a success. We are delighted to have former investors come back to us with more projects, in appreciation of our commitment.
