Architecture
Architecture has always been about People. This is a universal truth. It deals with the pragmatic needs of everyday life. If well considered it can positively affect the quality of that life. At its best, it can lift the spirit and make us feel better about ourselves.
The design of high quality built environments comes through the sensitive interaction of form, light and structure following a thorough appreciation of context. Successful outcomes demand talented architects working creatively and collaboratively within a disciplined process of design management.
Keppie responds directly to every Client"s requirements, needs and aspirations in ways that are compatible with their cultural, social and economic context. Our consistency is based on three shared principles:
• Design is an integrated process of analysis and synthesis, enriched by exploring possibilities and seizing opportunities
• All projects are unique and use the specific relationship to their individual context as the prime consideration
• Good design should represent the pursuit of simplicity, avoiding the over elaborate and unnecessary
Good design is simply design that stands the test of time. Sustainability is not merely the employment of a number of features to reduce energy costs but an attitude of mind in which society invests in its built environment.
Case Studies
The projects within this section are intended to provide an example of our approach to architectural design reinforcing our belief in the value of analysis and understanding to explore ideas which respond to the uniqueness of their context.
