With a hands-on approach using detailed models, technical expertise and creative execution in the presentation and design medium, Box Architecture reflects an ethos of the highest principle. Box's background an architectural technician and a carpenter provides mix of ideas and experience. The aim of the practice is to be creative with simple technologies to achieve inspirational aesthetics in the built form. This technique has been employed on a variety of projects including award-winning domestic extensions, doctor's surgeries, corporate offices, one-off houses to a crèche, and housing developments. The practice has also been short listed in competitions. Thus, reflecting the versatility in the application of the Box methodology to a wide range of projects. Quality rather than rapid expansion remains the focus in order to retain sustainability well into the future and keep the practice at the vanguard of architectural design.
