Light as the first material

We model the sun before we model the building. Every plan starts as a daylight study, because the cheapest, most generous material on any site is already falling out of the sky.

North light is honest

It does not flatter and it does not move much. For a studio, a gallery, a kitchen table, it is the only light worth designing around.
