By Ursino Architects
Celebrating materials, both raw and refined
Embracing a unique and challenging site, Sandringham House explores materiality and form, as well as a multilayered connection of spaces throughout.
Ursino Architects is a design focused practice with a passion for creating thoughtful, inspiring and creative design solutions. The belief that design quality can make a positive impact to the way we live, work and move through our world and the built environment is pivotal to the way we approach our work.
We pride ourselves on delivering exciting design ideas that have integrity, aesthetic quality and composition, as well as functional and dynamic spaces. This process involves thorough design thinking and testing to find the right balance between brief, budget and legislation, and the response to the local, social and economic context. We aim to balance creativity with pragmatism as we believe architecture is to be experienced as much as it is to be viewed.
The architecture we create is responsive, creative, thoughtful and grounded. We enjoy the challenge of testing ideas across a wide range of scales and briefs, always approaching each project with a fresh outlook in order to produce highly liveable outcomes unique to the specific context.
The idea and design concept we believe is the driving force behind a successful outcome, and the creative process around which architecture should be created. This results in design outcomes which are grounded, cohesive and multi layered. This enriches our built environment and in turn the way we live.
