Philosophy

de Reus Architects seeks to create natural harmony between the lay of the land, the design of a building and the functional and emotional needs of its occupants. This has resulted in a growing body of work that does not have a signature style, but evolves from the nature of the site and a deep collaboration with clients.

We search for artistic expression of the entire environment, where site, buildings and landscape evolve together; as a whole design, not as separate entities. Guiding design principles for us are achieving a quality of timelessness, permanence, and realizing the elegance of simplicity. Common qualities to our buildings are livability, comfort and appropriate scale. Our work has a sense of order, with elements of surprise that come from allowing opportunity to spring forth from honest problem solving.

Detailing is a fulfillment of the architectural concept. Collaboration with other talented professionals is not only something we enjoy - it is in the best interest of the client. Natural materials and attention to craftsmanship support feelings of enduring permanence and luxury.
