The Value of Detail

Architecture is experienced at close range. Small decisions at doors, junctions, edges and materials often determine the quality of the whole.

The Value of Detail

The quality of architecture is often most visible in the places where different materials, systems and surfaces meet.

Small decisions, visible results

Door frames, junctions, edges and transitions may occupy very little space, but they strongly influence how a building is perceived.

Detail design is therefore not simply technical documentation. It is part of the architectural design itself.

Detail supports the whole

A good detail does not draw attention to itself unnecessarily. It allows materials and spaces to work together naturally.
