architecture
at one to one.

We design at every scale, from the territory to the hand, and answer for every line: each decision can be followed back to its origin. That is t1x1 — traceability, at full scale.

01 — what we do

Every project starts with a question
someone has not been able to answer.

What can be built on this lot? Does the house we imagine fit? How does a town grow without losing its water? We turn that question into a drawing that can be built — and keep the record of every decision, back to its origin.

four scales, four ways of looking
1:5 000

How much land, how much water, what the rule allows and what the ground is worth.

Land and planning studies · lot-by-lot rule analysis with umbral · prefeasibility

who we work with
a

people & families

“We want to build our house” or “this apartment no longer works for us”.

From the empty lot or room to the key: idea, licence, budget and works, every cost explained in plain words.

1:5 0001:5001:501:1
b

companies & developers

“What does this lot yield before we buy it?”

Regulatory feasibility, dimensioned massing and pro-forma with umbral; replicable house types; offices, shops and spaces that carry a brand.

1:5 0001:5001:501:1
c

consulting firms

“We need an architecture team that speaks data.”

We join studies, tenders and competitions as a technical partner: auditable deliverables, every figure with its source, ready to be reviewed by others.

1:5 0001:5001:501:1
d

public & territorial bodies

“Where should we grow, and what does our rule really allow?”

Verifiable readings of land, rule and value for planning decisions, and projects for public competitions.

1:5 0001:5001:501:1
how it works
  1. 01

    the question

    A conversation to understand what you need to decide and what information already exists.

    outputscope and the questions to answer
  2. 02

    the reading

    We read the place at the scale it calls for — rule, land, climate, budget — each fact with its source.

    outputa reading of the place, with its sources
  3. 03

    the trace

    We propose and draw; every decision is recorded with its reason and its measure.

    outputproject and record of decisions
  4. 04

    the object

    Licence, works or digital delivery: what was drawn reaches what is built, one to one.

    outputlicence, works or application

02 — position

Scale is not size.
It is a way of looking.

We classify work by the drawing scale at which its main decision is made — 1:1, 1:50, 1:500, 1:5 000 — and by its state: standing, or latent. The same discipline runs from a door handle to a district.

i

evidence before form

Every figure we show can answer “why?”: rule, source, calculation, date.

ii

the unbuilt is a project

Latent work — competitions, studies, prototypes — is where ideas are tested at full precision.

iii

climate is the client

From the cold savanna to the Magdalena valley, the section is designed before the façade.

iv

remove before adding

One material, one roof, one gesture — as few elements as the problem allows.

03 — method

four questions
for every project

d1 · origin

element

Which primary element founds the project: hearth, roof, enclosure or mound.

d2 · permanence

frame

What is permanent and what is generic space that changes with use.

d3 · sequence

threshold

The sequence of in-between spaces from public to intimate. A threshold is a place, not a line.

d4 · measure

programme

Programme as measurable matter: bars in m² before form.

04 — houses · 1:50

five houses
for five climates

Complete house types for developers: plan, section, structure and cost envelope, adaptable to a lot.

← →swipe to see the five
05 — complete portfolio

standing & latent

Standing: built work. Latent: competitions, concepts and projects in development. Each study identifies its scope and current stage.

Interactive 3D projects

Walk through each project as you scroll: the plan becomes space, floor by floor, with its furniture, its people and its materials.
