How We Begin a Project

We begin a project not by drawing but by listening. The first conversations are rarely about furniture or colour; they are about how a space is lived in, how the day passes, and what brings calm.

Then we get to know the space on its own terms: the direction of light, the view, the sounds, the height of the ceiling. We do not decide what to add until we understand what a space is telling us.

The first sketches always begin by hand, in plain lines. Material and detail come later. In this way the design grows not from an idea but from a real space and the life that will unfold within it.
