TADW | architects : About Us / Our Philosophy

The underlying force which drives our work is a passionate commitment to create good architecture. Each design solution is considered in terms of its historic and cultural context and is unique with its own creative and innovative solution.

We learn from our understanding of the past and balance a pragmatic solution with good design and within a fixed time and cost framework.

We aspire to the Vitruvian principles of “Commoditie, Firmenes and Delight” as a prerequisite of “well building”. (Sir Henry Wootton 1624).

We try to build “well” in all our projects.

Good design is a combination of conceptual, visual and functional requirements and its success is measured by the enthusiasm of user, resident and community.

We embrace flexibility and change in the way we work, in our design solutions and materials used.
