We design places to live by integrating all dimensions of human experience and its environment. Each project is an opportunity to “care for” humanity, by proposing meaningful solutions—whether building or refurbishing a hospital, rethinking a neighbourhood, developing mobility systems, or imagining inclusive public spaces.

We firmly place people at the heart of our thinking, while working towards a decarbonised, resilient, and sustainable world.

We believe in the power of design as a clear, pedagogical tool: our clients must be able to recognise their aspirations and constraints in our proposals, without false promises or stylistic showmanship.

Curiosity, knowledge, and culture are the cornerstones of our practice. We draw on places, contexts, and feedback from experience to enrich our approach. We engage with the arts in the broadest sense, and with different disciplines, in a free and open-minded way.

We cultivate structured serendipity: we like to explore unexpected avenues, step off the beaten track, while keeping our feet on the ground. Each project is an opportunity to deepen our knowledge, challenge our practices, and take ownership of new tools and technologies to remain at the forefront of our discipline.

Our method is grounded in a critical and constructive analysis of context. We approach each situation with fresh eyes, without preconceived ideas, and work through a gradual reduction of uncertainties to arrive at robust, well-argued concepts. Constraints are not obstacles, but opportunities for creativity: they push us to innovate, rethink solutions, and devise responses grounded in the realities on the ground.

We believe in collaboration and shared expertise. We do not hesitate to work alongside highly specialised experts, to challenge them, and to integrate their knowledge in order to strengthen our proposals. This openness enables us to address the most complex challenges with relevance and innovation.

Our commitment does not end with the delivery of a project. We embrace a culture of continuous learning, where every lesson learned, every new insight, and every emerging technology is an opportunity to improve and to work as a team.

We aspire to be a credible and influential actor, one that can help advance practice and strengthen “care”: the attentive, benevolent focus we bring to every project and to those who will live with it. We advocate for an architecture that reconciles society and the world, gives meaning to living together, and seeks to shape a more balanced future for all.
