WHERE DO YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET STUCK ON A PROJECT?
We travel to find a new inspiration, new model, new color and new materials. During the journey, we share our various ideas from many people in their different styles and we often find an unexpected ideas in an unexpected conversation.
WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
‘Pasang’ is the amusing idea even in the beginning of the project. We questioned and found the various answers to continuing the idea to be creative and more efficient. Our idea is to use the local materials to be the modern building. We did some construction technology with the local Builder until it completed as our goal so it’s the reason why we love and bind with Pasang.
