APPROACH
The architectural process begins with defining the concept, and then using and enhancing it throughout the architectural process. Every project is born out of a knowledge of the architectural elements that come from understanding each client's identity. The most correct approach is to first understand the identity of each investor and then translate it into an architectural solution that embodies the character of each project.
