Design the depth

Reveals, balconies and screens create a useful zone between the interior and outside. Their proportions influence views, privacy and the character of daylight.

Respond to orientation

Sun, weather, surroundings and use should shape the response. A shading strategy needs site-specific study; a visually similar façade can behave differently on another orientation.

Coordinate the detail

Structure, drainage, maintenance and access have to support the architectural idea. Bring these questions into the conversation early so the finished form can remain clear and purposeful.
