The most common mistake in interior design isn’t a poor choice of materials. It’s ignoring light while those materials are being chosen. A colour that reads warm on a ten-centimetre sample can look entirely different on a six-metre wall that receives only northern light.

Our process always begins with a sun study, simulating how light enters a space at different times of day and year, before a single material is specified. Shadow is treated with equal seriousness: deep overhangs, recessed windows, and tall parapets aren’t decorative gestures but tools that shape the quality of the interior.

When light is understood as a building material rather than an afterthought, a space begins to breathe differently at every hour of the day.
