I am a Mom, an Architect and a Designer.
The following words are a statement of the nature of my practice
Our Approach
Our work begins with observation.
We are interested in the intelligence contained within everyday things: a roof shaped by rain, a tool refined through generations, a piece of wood that reveals how it was grown, or an object that quietly accompanies family life.
We believe these forms are not accidental and that they are the expression of knowledge accumulated over time.
The studio role is to observe, understand and reinterpret this knowledge, allowing it to continue living in contemporary life. This approach guides everything we do—from architecture and furniture to lighting, research and public projects.
We see design as a form of education through attention, our job is to understand why a roof has a particular shape, why a material belongs to a place. We can generate beauty from necessity.
Our work is rooted in craftsmanship. We collaborate with artisans because making is also a way of thinking. Materials, tools and manual processes carry knowledge that deserves to remain active within contemporary culture.
We hope our work encourages curiosity and not by providing answers, but by inviting meaningful questions that lead to dialogue and conversation.
