sustainable working and living environments Troppo is a practice of regionally based studios aiming to develop regionally responsive architectures. For the place of each project, let’s promote a Sense of Place: through an architecture that responds to climate and the local setting: a dynamic architecture of adjustable skins; that connects the indoors with the out (or should it be the outdoors with the in?): a non-constant architecture that responds to the morning, the evening, the season, the heat, the cold, the sun, the rain the moment that will never pass again. Troppo embrace the informality that is the Australian lifestyle, both in our approach to design as well as practice: NO BOW-TIES HERE!.
We believe that architecture should express a certain poetry, its users’ personalities, and the uniqueness of the mix of place, people and the day; but also some basic logic… We believe that a building is foremost a structure. From this standpoint only rational design decisions can flow – with consequent robustness, ‘buildability’ and economy. And we believe that a building should be fun, friendly and forever adaptable. We are committed to the notion of environmentally sustainable, responsible architecture. Which leads to a whole-of-site approach (and beyond).
