Approach
Papa match their architecture to the financial and strategic objectives of the client to achieve the best return on their architectural investment, whether a private residence or commercial development. This is achieved through an analytical approach to site constraints and client’s needs whilst negotiating the ever-changing landscape of planning and built environment. Our approach has always been ‘use’ led forming a reaction to the needs of the ‘user’ both public and private.
Our approach is not only applicable to the physical world but the virtual. This presents an opportunity to explore ‘use’ in a reimagined context removing physical constraints and replacing them with a pure form of ‘use’ within a metaverse.
