Aesthetically Functional Architecture

Our vision is to create a new type of architecture for a new world. It is adaptable and healing with environmental principles and sustainable design contributing to the health and wellbeing of its inhabitants and its environment. We aim for net positive energy buildings that integrate people, buildings and cities. To go beyond sustainability by being inclusive architecture on all levels.

We strive for easier building system processes which re-use buildings and materials for cleaner and improved environments for all.

We believe in the craft of architecture and use a phenomenological approach to our architecture whereby space, material, light and shadow are designed to have an influence on the human senses. Sensory perception is integrated into the function of the built form. We envision an architecture that is reusable and transformable and which adapts to new and different functions. We promote simplicity in the complexity and complexity in the simplicity of architecture. The emphasis of the experience of our architecture is on the human experience.

Arbitration

Arbitration and adjudication as the foremost alternative dispute resolution process where disputes are resolved timeously and at a lower cost than litigation. Where the legal process is short circuited in order to save time and money which can be better spent on the building process. Our aim is to alleviate or prevent disputes as much as possible, to provide guidance along the way and to evolve as the contracts in use evolve, and to streamline contract administration so that management of projects becomes easier as projects become more complex.

SUSTAINABILITY
BUILDINGS & CITIES

Our vision is for a sustainable future in which people and buildings can interact within cities or the landscape in harmony with nature and each other. Where buildings are designed with eco-design principles and eco-materials and where plastic in the manufacture of buildings is reduced if not completely eliminated and where the construction of a building does not entail harm to inhabitants nor to the environment.

These principles are extended to cities where people live in harmony with their neighbours and create communities. Cities that are easier to navigate and connection to nature is commonplace. Where the green economy is conventional and parity exists between the city’s inhabitants and the eco-footprints of inhabitants and the cities are within the planet’s resources.
