Future architecture must go beyond 'functional art'.
Contemporary design is profoundly influenced by ecologically sustainable development, facility flexibility and technological advancements.
At Gray Puksand we embrace change with a commitment to research in design, construction methodology and materials. We believe architecture is not created quickly. It is a result of careful planning and forward thinking.
Every design follows a collaborative process with our clients, ensuring our projects are viable and unique. Our work strives to make a contribution to the built and natural environment.
Buildings must be ecologically sustainable without additional cost or sacrifice to comfort. Architectural spaces, whether internal enclosures or external landscaped zones between buildings, must have inherent flexibility, providing inbuilt margin without wasted area. The occupants of our buildings are not ‘shoehorned’, rather internal design and functional requirements dramatically influence the external envelope.
A thorough understanding of site ethos, ecology, microclimate and social environment is critical to the successful integration of built forms into the natural, urban or campus landscape.
Our aim is to provide culturally relevant and enduring designs whether they be contemporary, free-standing structures or insertions into an environmentally significant context.
