Practice Statement

Almost all of our projects are, at some point, physically modelled. Models form an important part of our design process - they help us understand the building in ways not possible through drawing alone. By this we mean not only with the end result - but the actual act of building a model helps to inform the tectonic resolution of the design. Models are also the best communicator of a design to Clients or others in the team that may not grasp the spatial, or material, implications of drawings alone.
