Working principles

What we refuse to add

1
Space is the first material
Every layout starts from the empty field. We add an element only when its absence would be felt.
2
One gesture, fully resolved
A single line, a single weight, a single edge — held to the millimetre rather than multiplied for effect.
3
Warmth in the seam, not the surface
Putty and sand appear only at joins and accents; the working ground stays a cool, neutral light.
4
Ornament is the thing we removed
No flourish survives a second review. What remains is structure, and structure is the look.
