Each project, each site, each client brief and development framework has a unique design context and requires original research to form the concept for the architecture.

Engagement through a consultative approach with the approving authority and the community is often used to overcome prejudice in the assessment of innovative solutions to particular sites.

Architecture is research based integrating planning, urban design, engineering, material science, environmental science, construction and cost planning techniques.

Architecture is knowledge based from a thorough understanding of precedent.

Architectural solutions are not biased towards any material, spatial concept, planning or layout principle, or construction technique.

Each building is designed to minimise energy waste and life cycle cost.

Architecture comes from clarity in expression and an authentic representation of the time and place of its conception including the integration of the skills of related design professionals, construction tradespeople, artisans and artists.

Scale, material character, detail, spatial effect, the manipulation of light in space, the contribution to the design of the public domain, the effective functional use within buildings, are the core tools of the architect.

At Tzannes, architecture involves the making of buildings and places and every aspect of this work is considered as a core service skill for our clients.
