Principles & Approach
Form and Resolution
Proportion as Foundation
Proportion plays a central role in this approach. The relationship between scale, mass, and spacing is resolved early, establishing a structure that supports both visual clarity and adaptability. Once proportion is set, subsequent decisions are measured against it, ensuring continuity across different expressions of the same design language.
Material as Structure
Material is approached with the same discipline. Characteristics such as weight, texture, and natural variation are treated as defining qualities rather than decorative effects. Materials are selected and applied in ways that respect their inherent behavior, allowing form and construction to remain legible.
Refinement Through Restraint
Refinement is achieved through restraint. Elements are introduced only when they serve a clear purpose within the overall composition. This reduction allows details to remain intentional and prevents complexity from obscuring structure.
Consistency Across Scope
Consistency across different scopes of work is a natural outcome of this approach. Whether applied to a single piece, a coordinated series, or an adapted specification, the same principles guide decision-making. This ensures that changes in scale or configuration do not result in shifts in character.
Defined Flexibility
Flexibility is understood as something that operates within defined limits. Adjustments are evaluated against established forms, proportions, and material logic, allowing adaptation while maintaining control.
A Shared Reference
Together, these principles form a shared reference point. They guide how designs are developed, how materials are handled, and how outcomes remain aligned over time. The result is work that allows style to emerge through structure rather than declaration.
