HALVESSA / THREE CONNECTED LAYERS

Atmosphere, layout
and detail.

We plan rooms in three layers, and each layer has its own output.

01 / ATMOSPHERE

Light and colour first.

Begin with the quality of a place: open or sheltered, warm or cool, social or still. This first layer sets the light that every later decision must respect.

Focus: Light, color and mood
Study output: A spatial palette

02 / ARRANGEMENT

Then volumes and routes.

Give each activity a place. Use a few deliberate volumes and enough space between them to make movement easy.

Focus: Scale, routes and relationships
Study output: A composition of volumes

03 / DETAIL

Then edges and surfaces.

A rounded edge, a shallow recess, a surface you want to touch. Small decisions make the larger idea present at a human scale.

Focus: Edges, touch and transitions
Study output: A family of material details

ONE IDEA, HELD TOGETHER

The Pebble study
uses all three layers.
