We treat every client as an individual and perceive every project as unique. Our approach to the clients comes by listening to their concerns, our understanding of their needs comes by translating their vision into form.
Branding & architecture
Branding and brand awareness have become inescapable parts of our daily visual lives.Fluo believes that it is an architect’s responsibility to incorporate client’s brand in the design process and do not maintain a critical distance. Having a proactive approach, architecture is used to reflect the brand in the consistency of the design and visual appearance.
Sustainability
The balance between economic, social and ecological ambitions is considered from the initial stages of each project. Each design derives from, in depth, analytical research of intelligent concepts for better and smarter buildings and urban environments which will improve the everyday lives of the residents and the users.
New technologies
New design techniques led us to develop new working strategies, parametric design and digital fabrication are fields of our interest for further research and exploration. We strongly believe that innovative technology and materials are fundamental forces for architectural evolution towards a sustainable and intelligent build environment.
