Brief information about the projects that you/your company have been involved with. For instance what scale have you focused on/preferred, any significant projects where company/ individuals have been involved?

The small scale intrigues us as it allows us to control the details. We want every inch to have its purpose. We believe that even on a small project, we can provide the right space both for individual and social activity.

What does architecture mean to you and what is the role of an architect in your society?

Why do you participate in architecture vision competitions?

Vision competitions bring us to simple, yet strong ideas. This particular one provoked us to answer questions such as: what is a shelter nowadays? What is the minimal area for living? What does it mean to share a space with others?

What advice would you give to individuals who struggle to decide whether it would be beneficial for them to participate in architecture vision competitions?
