ARDUA.

There is a quality in the things that last — buildings, objects, clothing, furniture. It comes from what they are made of, how they are put together, and how they are used.

What allows them to last is consistent: adaptability, durability, utility, and integrity.

What they gain from lasting is less immediate: patina, quietness, honesty, and warmth.

The pursuit of those qualities has been shaped through more than twenty years of work across Ireland, Britain, New Zealand and Portugal. Resisting the unnecessary. Elevating what was deliberately retained.

The guiding principle is always the same: understand what already exists, and minimise the impact of every decision on it — so that what remains carries those qualities.
