holding power...
a design must have a holding power - to hold the viewer for a moment and invite them to enquire further. in that moment of silent contemplation, as they look and search for clues about the building, the viewer unlocks the multi-layered nature of the design. a dialogue is opened between viewer, the work and the architect. in this way art architecture seeks to establish an intrinsic holding power in their designs – for the client, the viewer at a personal level and for the passer by.

 
Once the design is executed the legacy will be a ‘piece’ an  ‘architecture’ that will provide the backdrop for a community/family that can continue to add a contemporary breath of life to the building and its setting.
