StudioKAS was founded in 2015, The projects designed at StudioKAS refer to the fundamental elements of architecture – light, space, transparency, materiality, and order – and aspire to humanist qualities of serenity, and beauty. Spaces are composed to be experienced sequentially, through choreographed processions that re-center and re-align the perceptual ‘axis’, terminating in landscaped vistas or open spaces. Distinct forms, pure shapes and clear lines form the basis of the StudioKAS design language.
StudioKAS explores architecture as an inter-disciplinary craft that combines the elusive beauty of art and the building technology.
StudioKAS has done numerous projects, built and unbuilt. While the smaller projects offer insights into aspects of material and detailing, the larger ones provide opportunities to probe issues of scale and form. The studio continues to develop a style of architecture that is abstract and use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking. StudioKAS approach to design often arises from a counter-intuitive response to site and programme.
Operating in a studio-like setting, StudioKAS is built around a small group of individuals, each with a particular expertise in the separate aspects of the practice. StudioKAS believes that the execution of architecture is essentially a collaborative effort and a synthesis of various talents.
