Across hospitality, residential, workplace and public space, Pieris.Architects integrate sustainability into every aspect of design, not as a separate layer, but as an integral part of architecture itself. Over the past decades, their approach has evolved from sustainable and biophilic design towards regenerative architecture, seeking not only to reduce environmental impact, but to create positive relationships between people, place and the natural environment.
Environmental performance, contextual sensitivity and human experience are considered from the earliest stages of design.
Pieris.Architects view architecture in a sensual form, a form made to awaken people’s senses and emotions, concerned not only with physicality but also with potential. They design buildings with the inherent notion of natural and human ecology. Buildings that ‘encompass’ meaning, breathe, embrace daylight, merge into their natural or urban environment, respect nature, capturing the infinitely sensual, dynamic essence of space.
The foundation of each of their projects, is eco-emotional intelligence, an elaborate narrative in progress which permeates every conceptual or design idea, material or functional choice. They approach the design of buildings through experiences and feelings, as living organisms in dialogue with nature, their inhabitants and context. This multifaceted, whimsical interplay defines their intricate methodology, with life in its centre and timeless quality as its aspiration.
