STUDIO KALAMAR |
|
While the majority
of our work focuses on residential, office and public buildings,
the practice's projects range from urban master plans to interior
and furniture design. To us, projects have no scale: the same
attention is devoted to design of a pencil as to a master
plan of a city.
The principal goal of the practice has always been to create
built environment, to build. One of the basic decisions we
made is never to specialise, we seek assignments in as broad
a field as possible. Each new project is a new challenge,
an opportunity to further develop and grow. Quality design
always comes in conjunction with functionality and technical
innovation, so the practice closely collaborates with clients
and consultants from different fields. Each project is designed
for its particular space with understanding that it is a part
of a bigger picture, so as to seem that it had always belonged
there.
Environmental awareness plays an integral role in our work,
as we believe that more and more of our creative energy within
the design process will soon be directed into limiting the
consumption of natural resources and general environmental
responsibility.
From 1996 to 2019, our completed projects have totalled over
367.000 m2, all built on schedule and within their respective
budgets.
