OUR WORK BEGINS WITH PEOPLE
What appears evident for true project success in architecture is a reliance on people. From a team of experts who thoughtfully articulate and interpret ideas elicited from an integrated dialogue with end users, community citizens and clients - architecture requires participation before occupation.
WE COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS
One One Ten's approach is a working model for a diverse design collaborative. This genuine statement reflects our design process and how we interact, engage and integrate our teams with other people. We approach each project with a transparent 'hands on' perspective through an intimate design process that encourages fierce thinking, honest questions and tough decisions among its participants. In every case, our method always pursues design excellence in architecture and urbanism in order to provide lasting value to communities.
OUR WORK IS A PART OF PUBLIC DISCOURSE
Our work is dedicated to engaging the public realm to explore the complexity of problems that exist in the world which are mediated through design. This open discourse is realized incrementally through design intervention and impacts the fabric of urban society. As design professionals, it is in this purposeful exchange with people and the built environment that ideas mature into potent architectures and foster exciting new urban experiences.
WE BELIEVE IN THE POTENTIAL AND VITALITY OF CITIES
Each project we engage is a conscious act of making and city building. In all cases, we want to articulate an appropriate but compelling response to context and a convincing and urbane response to density that enriches both the public realm and society's experience of daily urban life.
ARCHITECTURE MATTERS
We believe architecture is essential to society. Architecture is a reflection of civic vision and the cumulative disposition of society's valuation of good design in the vitality of cities. Architecture is a part of public discourse and should be written about and roundly criticized. Architecture also cannot rightly be divorced from the architect.
We believe the role of the profession of architecture is currently shifting in both the profession, industry and societal context through innovative forms of architectural practice moving from a tradition of the architect as 'master builder' to the role of the architect as specialist in the built environment.
