Olaver Architecture

Profile

Olaver Architecture is an architectural practice which pursues excellence in design and approach. Our Approach is founded in the people that inhabit, visit, construct, consult and supply the spaces we design, for without them the spaces would have no function and form follows function after all. Our Architecture is marked by a balance of austerity and playfulness, the imperfect and the highly refined, rough and smooth, history and new. Our Application to design eschews the notion of interior vs exterior design, reiterating their reciprocity.

Over all we are working towards creating a better built environment through both private and public buildings, commercial, residential and utilitarian spaces which are user focused. Our Aim is to create spaces which better the environment: actively, ecologically, practically and aesthetically.

We focus on people. At Olaver Architecture we understand that good design and good building is first and foremost about the contributors throughout the project, and those who will use the spaces we design. Conversation is our most valued tool, although we also like tracing paper and 3D models.

We understand that the first answer is not always the right answer, and that iterations are expected. Subsequently imperfections are embraced, reaffirming the Japanese notion of wabi-sabi and the environments we create are subject to change by their users.

Our aim is to create spaces which better the environment: actively, ecologically, practically and aesthetically.
