Surface is often treated as finish — paint, polish, veneer applied to complete a room. Our practice approaches surface as system.

Textile-based wall systems, embroidered panels, and veneer interventions are developed as structured compositions. Each layer performs a function: aesthetic, tactile, acoustic, or structural. Nothing is applied without intention.

Embroidery is not used as embellishment. It becomes a method of construction. Thread density alters shadow. Stitch variation affects texture. Layering modifies how light is absorbed and reflected throughout the day.

Similarly, veneered surfaces are approached with awareness of grain direction, movement, and backing systems. Material behaviour informs scale decisions. Structural support informs composition.

When surface is treated as system rather than decoration, it shifts the spatial atmosphere. Hard materials are softened without losing architectural clarity. Large walls gain dimensionality without relying on excessive colour or pattern.

These systems can be integrated into panels, inset architectural zones, standalone surface interventions, or spatial focal points. Scale is calibrated to context — never exaggerated to compensate.

Our interest lies in surfaces that feel embedded, not imposed.
