Natural Colours The various shades of natural colours available, offer great versatility and elegance to architectural projects. Each color has its own characteristics and can be used for different aesthetic and functional effects. The choice of natural colours applied to ventilated facade elements can completely transform the aesthetics of a building, adding personality and style to the project. Additionally, these natural colours helps integrate the building into its surroundings, providing a harmonious and cohesive appearance. The use of natural colours in the rehabilitation projects provides a balanced combination, but keeping the traditional lines and at the same time adding modernity, allowing renovated buildings to not only preserve their historical value but also gain a new lease of life, adapting to contemporary demands and the evolution of architecture. #terracotta #portugal #soladrilho #cladding #rainscreen #architecture #glaze

The exterior of this house was a nondescript brown with a nondescript stone that was not indigenous to the region. There was a mixture of stylistic elements that had no continuity, and there wasn’t an architectural sense to the front entrance. We modified windows, doors and architectural details on the exterior and painted the entire house to create a sense of unity and cohesion.

The design is unique due to its fluid and organic architecture, which presents a form that is both sculptural and functional. The sweeping curves create an impression of movement and elegance, while the building appears to grow from the ground, reminiscent of natural structures like mushrooms or flower petals. The varied textures—from sleek, reflective surfaces to more rugged, stone-like materials—add depth and visual interest. The landscaping is meticulously designed to complement the curves of the building, with pathways and vegetation that echo its sinuous lines. The attention to detail extends to the property's boundary, with a gate design that reflects the pattern and aesthetic of the main structure. It's a holistic approach to design, creating a cohesive environment that blurs the lines between the built and the natural world.

Every building has a story, and signs often play the crucial role of storyteller, helping to weave that narrative into the visitor's experience. Our recent work for the Kimpton Fitzroy London, a stunning 19th-century landmark in Bloomsbury, is a perfect example. Known for its fantastic architecture and renowned ornate terracotta exterior, this building has long been an iconic part of London’s heritage. But how do you design signs that respect such history while adding modern functionality? Our solution was to create a sign system that honored the building's character by choosing materials and styles that matched the detailed terracotta exterior. This helped the signs blend naturally with the architecture, adding to the experience without taking away from the building's beauty. Good signs do more than guide—they tell a story. PS: How are your signs contributing to your building’s story? #rivermeade #architecturalstorytelling #kimptonfitzroy #designharmony

With this project, we lucked out by having more than 200 existing trees on site. We designed a residence landscape with the intent of carving the space from the existing site conditions. A landscape design was done with site and tree documentation carried out to make sure that not a single tree got damaged. Hence, unique curves are laid on site following trees, light, shadow, and our hearts. #residentiallandscape #residentiallandscaping #residentialearthworks #landscape #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #landscapearchitect #landscapeillustration #landscapeillustrations #landscapeillustrationdigital #archillustration #illusarch #archvisualization #landscapevisualization #arcquitectura #illustarch #archisource #landscaperender #archiviz #gardendesign #gardenideas #studiosearch #studiosearchdesigns

We've elevated the appeal of this house by adding strategically placed windows on the second floor, flooding the interiors with abundant natural light and added architectural dimension. Not only does this enhance the ambiance, but it also creates a sense of spaciousness and connectivity with the outdoors that are complimented by the cedar shake roof and neutral tone of the siding.

From a simple 1780’s, single deep room farmhouse, a country estate grew. The house had matured throughout the next 200+ years adapting to its landscape rather than fighting against it. Transforming this property into the 21st century was a primary goal for the clients. Each addition of the building steps down the steep landscape like a waterfall. A new overall site plan was implemented to allow for sweeping views of the upper portion of the property upon arrival as well as long vistas into the rear yard from nearly all the living spaces.

🏡 The Legacy of American Traditional Architecture 🏡 Let’s dive into the timeless elegance of American Traditional architecture! 🇺🇸 Emerging in the 17th century, this style is a beautiful blend of colonial influences and local craftsmanship. European settlers, primarily from England, France, and the Netherlands, brought their architectural styles to the American colonies. Over time, these elements combined with local materials and techniques to form a uniquely American style. 🔹 Key Characteristics: • Symmetry: American Traditional homes often feature a balanced, symmetrical design. • Gable Roofs: Commonly sloped to shed rain and snow, inspired by colonial roots. • Classic Materials: Brick, wood, and stone exteriors exude warmth and natural beauty. • Decorative Elements: Think shutters, dormer windows, and simple moldings. 🔹 Fun Fact: The American Traditional style has evolved over the centuries but remains popular due to its timeless charm and adaptability. You’ll find everything from charming farmhouses to grand Colonial Revivals under this style! From classic Colonial homes to Cape Cod cottages, American Traditional architecture connects us with the past while continuing to inspire today’s modern builds. 🏠✨ #AmericanTraditional #ArchitectureHistory #TimelessDesign #ClassicHomes
