We believe in a layered approach to design, shaped by existing conditions and defined by programmatic concerns, aesthetical wishes and budgetary and temporal constraints. We believe that every solution needs to have its own unique personality and somehow elevate the experience of both the casual observer and the ultimate user. We believe that every solution needs to address all of the senses of the observers and ultimately draw them into the space as participants. We believe in contextual solutions that engage and are engaged by the urban or natural fabric, solutions where the raw space is shaped and is interesting even by itself. Materials, Colors, Lighting, furniture and furnishings are but added layers of necessary requirements that add and augment the total experience and need to be planned out accordingly. We believe in natural and sustainable materials and the beauty inherent in high quality engineering and manufacturing. We believe in well organized and clear presentation that artistically can stand by themselves. We believe in clear, concise and dramatic concepts. We believe in the careful integration of both inside and outside We believe in the art of architecture.

BEACHCOMBER CLUB RESORT - NEGRIL, JAMAIC Nestled in between world renowned resorts on Jamaica’s famed western coast of Negril, the Beachcomber Club’s new beachfront area provides for a formal outdoor dining room, a bar and a dance floor that works around a central existing pool. Open but colonnaded structures define the spaces, supporting roofs where necessary and provide an appropriate amount of intimacy to experience romantic dinners bathed by the light of the setting western sun. Thick local landscaping and manicured hedges encircle and embrace the various spaces in addition to creating a children’s play area and a new hot tub spa zone directly linked to the beach.
