Detail is one of the main values of our projects. Our approach towards a project arises from a double commitment: the will of giving technical answers to a particular context and the desire to seek for beauty within the built piece. Both in the conception of the form and during material execution, the search consists in generating each project from the small gestures that provide them with coherence, continuity, precision and sensibleness. Each of our designs is first thought by hand, proposing and analysing small models, putting special care in those constructive details, in the way in which different surfaces meet... While looking for benefits given by new developments in the area, together with possibilities given by serial production, to end up building using these innovations. Each design emerges from an investigation, from the contemplation of architecture in the search of functional, practical and aesthetic improvements. It's existence makes architecture itself distinct. Additionally, details are to be found both in the inside and the outside, but do not reside exclusively in architecture itself. They also appear in the field of lighting, where we closely collaborate with manufacturers and lighting designers in order to obtain an optimal result in which light and architecture become completely mimetic. This spatial continuity is reflected in the use of little materials and the integration of installations. The same occurs with landscaping of each project, which reflects on the interaction between architecture and it's closest surroundings. The scale of a project doesn't matter, the detail within it does. May it be a single-family house, a many storey building, a table or a lamp, an architecture or an industrial design project... Always, in all cases, it will be detail what gives it it's own personality.
著重細部是本公司作品的主要價值之一。我們處理作品的態度主要奠基於一個雙重承諾:樂意為某個特定的背景脈絡找出最適宜的技術,也渴望自建構的作品中追尋美感。每個作品無論在構思造型或找尋材料的階段,其研究過程都是由那些能夠賦予作品連貫性、延續性、精準度和敏銳度的細部起步,點點滴滴累積而成的。我們在設計每一件作品時,第一個步驟都是以手思考,也就是提出小模型,然後加以分析,採用不同的外觀同台競逐的方式,突顯出建築過程中該注意的小細節︙︙同時會密切注意當地的新發展所帶來的優勢,以及這一系列手法能創造出多少可能,以便於在最後,利用這些創新方式構築建築案。每個設計案都是從研究過程,以及思索如何改善建築本身的功能性、實用性與美感的過程中逐漸成形。因為這個過程的存在,才使得這些建築風格獨具。
此外,無論內部或外部都必須展現出細部,但不是僅存在於建築體本身,還必須呈現在照明上。在這方面,我們會密切與製造商和燈光設計師合作,以取得最完美的成果,讓照明與建築完全吻合,它所創造出來的空間連續性,會反映在建材使用量減少以及設備整合性更好這兩項優點上。每一個建築案的環境美化工程也都採取上述的程序,而它也將反映在建築和鄰近環境之間的相互作用上。一個建築案重要的並不是規模,而是它所呈現的細部。不管是獨棟透天厝、高樓大廈、一張桌子或一盞燈、一整個建築或工業設計案,無論何種情形,賦予它獨特個性的,始終是它所擁有的細部。
