Gutters and drainage. The way water moves across a project can be incredibly inspiring. It’s a natural force whose flow can be expressed and channeled to create intimate moments of beauty or grand gestures. A great gutter doesn’t just hide water—it allows us to connect with it and the natural world around us.
Door handles and handrails. The Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa calls the door handle “the handshake of the building.” It’s the first introduction to a space, and engaging senses beyond the visual elevates design. Every element we touch in a project has the power to shape our experience in a meaningful way.
