The sun is the most important client on any project. Where it rises, where it sets and how high it climbs in summer should shape the plan before anything else does.
We place living spaces to catch soft morning light and shade them from the harsh afternoon. Deep overhangs, screened terraces and inner courtyards do the work of mechanical cooling, quietly and for free.
A home designed this way is more comfortable, cheaper to run and far more beautiful at every hour of the day.
