Homeliness

Good housing architecture speaks to the hearts of the inhabitants. We should design dwellings, that we would love to live in ourselves. Aesthetics in dwellings is about creating an attractive, homely, beautiful, and safe atmosphere that puts the spirit at ease.

Our mission is not to build dwellings but to build homes. Homes are all about the people that inhabit them and the places in which they are built. Therefore, people and place are the starting points for aesthetics in future homes.

The home and the inhabitants

Use the human scale as point of departure and create homes with focus on detailing, proportions, materiality, and texture.

Connect to the context

Create site-specific architecture by exploring the uniqueness and potential of the place through an analysis of the context, historic traces, and tradition.

Facade and expression

When designing housing in the city be sure to define the base, middle and top of your facade to offer a generous, friendly, and varied architectural expression.
