The firm's approach to design could be described as 'no nonsense.' The starting poiint for the design is always the program, with its various parameters and all of its restrictions. There is no preset attitude, so it can never be said beforehand that we will tackle the project like this or like that. No mannerism, no desire to create anything which does not stem from the preconditions of design. This leads to a design method in which the building is first marked out schematically and organizationally and where, by constant feedback, its materialization and the contstructional aspects are then developed. We see a building as a machine, where function prevails over everything else. This is the only way that an architect can adequately respond to the changing parameters of society. The poetry of architecture is only created after the regeneration of the obvious pre-existing conditions, into a building that can be built durably and used logically.
