PROFILE

In classical Roman time Genius Loci refers to a location’s distinctive atmosphere, or a “spirit of place”.

Today in the context of modern architectural theory, Genius Loci has profound implications for “place-making”.

We take pride of making this happen by providing quality architectural design solutions which meets the needs, timeframes, and budgets of our clients.
