Design Philosophy<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”center” up=”21″ down=”70″ thickness=”1″ color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.53)”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1406630567420{margin-right: 50px !important;margin-left: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

The firm believes in using architecture as an expression of the continuity of the history of civilisation and the memory of cities. The firm strives to achieve an architecture that resonates with man’s unending endeavour to be in harmony with his soul and the world he lives in. This necessarily rejects any notion of architectural fashion or exhibitionism or architecture-for-architecture’s sake.<\/span><\/h4>\n
