LightArchitecture aims to bring a new form of beauty to the built environment. A beauty rooted in lightness – of touch, of form, and of thinking. It is driven by a desire to do more with less. We are mindful of the need to conserve the Earth’s dwindling resources, and of our responsibility to design structures that heal – physically and emotionally – their users.
Light is our medium.
We use it to reconnect people with their environment. Our designs have elegance and refinement. They are always appropriate in their mix of technology with tradition.
Lightness is our driving force.
Lightness in shape, structure and ideas is a quest for efficiency. Minimum use of materials to achieve maximum effect. It is a fundamental of design and a pathway to progress.
Our design process is always rooted in research – our starting point is gaining a deep appreciation of context. We explore the accumulated wisdom and innovation found in cultural and natural history of every site we work in. This allows us to achieve designs that are both unique and familiar at the same time. Bold and striking, but respectful of the past and embodying a strong sense of place.
