Heritage and Experience |
|
To minimize energy used in our day to day work we work from home connected through the internet with partners and clients all over the world in an “virtual” office. We do not need to commute and do not have to maintain expensive offices. For any given project we can engage or consult as many independent partners as necessary but do not need to take on unsustainable projects in order to keep a big business machine afloat. We will always have to deal wit compromises in our work but our setup lets us choose to take on projects where we know we can make a difference.

We draw on a long and rich experience of ‘hands on’ building with many different materials. Apart from the local traditions and styles we inherited we worked/travelled widely in Europe and North Africa & Asia before settling in Australia. Restoring and exploring traditional buildings we acquired an extensive knowledge in many disciplines. Analysing and repairing the results of alterations & ”improvements” to traditional structures allowed us an invaluable insight into easily avoidable mistakes. This enables us now to have a rare overview over many traditional and modern building styles & methods which allows us to choose the right combinations for the site and wishes /abilities of the owner/builder.
