DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Architype’s design approach
In preference to a ‘house style’, Architype has a clear ‘design philosophy’ that expresses a shared understanding and approach to design and sustainability. We aim to achieve a unique and appropriate solution for each project, inspired by each site, brief and client. Guided by this philosophy, we approach design with intellectual rigour and passion, to produce buildings that are eminently practical and emotionally uplifting.
We create inspiring and beautiful buildings of elegant simplicity, which are:
-
rooted in environmentally sustainable design - see EcoMinimalism
-
designed through a collaborative and inclusive process – see Consultation
-
based on simple, strong ideas
-
holistic and integrated in approach
- expressive of their structural and services engineering
- underpinned by robust technical thinking and rigorous analysis
- bold and honest in the use and expression of materials
- designed around the creative use of light and colour
- comfortable, enjoyable and uplifting places in which to live, work and play
