Materiality & Tectonics

Architecture is ultimately experienced at the human scale—where the hand meets the rail, and where the structure meets the sky. This collection, titled "The Micro-Narrative," isolates specific architectural moments to explore the rigorous demands of the tropical environment. We focus on the "honest junction"—avoiding cladding that hides the truth of the assembly. By zooming in, we demonstrate our obsession with how materials age, weather, and interact in high-humidity/high-UV contexts.

The craft of tropical resilience: A study in junctions, weathering, and tactile luxury.

Key Design Themes

The Biophilic Junction: Architecture does not end where nature begins. We design details that invite flora to become part of the building skin, using rough-cast concrete as a trellis for life rather than a barrier to it.
Atmospheric Filtering: The interplay of light and shadow is treated as a building material. Our louver and screen details are calibrated to slice harsh tropical glare into soft, ambient illumination.
Tactile Contrast: The deliberate juxtaposition of the "Raw" (Board-marked concrete, weathered steel) against the "Refined" (Polished glass, honed basalt, oiled teak). This contrast highlights the inherent beauty of each material.
