Approach Architects is a design-led studio undertaking a broad range of projects founded in 2018. They have grown into a team from diverse culture spanning expertise in the field of interior design, architecture and urbanism. Research, experimentation and creative thinking drive their design process. Approach Architects believe good architecture is to build a positive relationship between people and the city.
Design methodology
Each project for them is unique. The geographic location, context, history, and client’s demand constitute its gene. Approach Architect's design results are based on their logical analysis, which includes topography analysis, precedent study, market survey, and typological study.
Poetry in architecture
Use inconspicuous, everyday objects, and through abstraction, arrangement, create a poetic quality.
Material selection and use
Approach Architects believe making a building “materiality” extends beyond the selection of material and must also include the manner of construction, the technologies and skills, and the builder and the time place of creation.
