Our
vision
Archingreen, who we are, what we do and how we live it
We guide our clients with a design approach capable to harmonizing human desires and responsibility for the future, with the flexibility required to face complexity with an open mind. The collaborative relationship with our clients is a form of shared responsibility based on mutual trust, a trust that creates “kinship”: the project, the house or the building we work on together, side by side, becomes something that connects our stories. This model of relationship between client and professional wants to inspire sustainable principles in human relationships. Architecture deals with how we inhabit the space. We are aware that the design project never truly finished, but constantly evolving, there is no one-size-fits-all solution suitable for everyone and every situation. That’s why we believe that the design process must be attentive to detail, in constant listening, open to possibilities, and mindful of preserving balance. We also know that the design continues in the life of those who inhabit that home, that building, because this is a task that unfolds day after day, in the concrete living the space, as the baton is passed on.

Care
The poetics
of dwelling
Inhabit is to be present in the world by nurturing and taking care of it. The urgency of our times calls for a specific care, a care that can observe the world’s complexity from above, without ever losing sight of the bigger pictures and without allowing partial points of view, the well-being of some to outweigh that of others. With this systemic vision firmly in mind, we immerse ourselves in the world to design and build our projects: dwelling thus always becomes co-dwelling. Care acknowledges and promotes relationships, connections and circularity.
Cosiness
Living
the space
To welcome is a way to being with others and it is also a way in which architecture can shape space. We want to design spaces that foster welcoming relationships, where life is comfortable for all species that cohabitate the planet. We want to live this spirit of welcome in our relationship with clients, becoming custodians of their desires and attentive listeners to their stories. And we want the construction sites themselves to be welcoming places, where different professionals collaborate, discuss, and share their specific skills and knowledge.
We must see what
hasn’t been seen,
see again
what has already been seen,
see in spring
what was seen in summer,
see by daylight
what was seen in the night,
see by day with the sun where the first time it rained, the stone that has changed place.

Well-being
The home
we are
Our home is part of the life of the planet, breathes with it and we, in turn, breathe the well-being, in resonance with a healthier ecosystem. Thanks to his technologies and natural materials, this is not just about words, but with buildings that are healthy for those who live in them. We create well-being through thermal comfort, ventilation, natural lighting, protection from noise pollution, and the absence of indoor pollutants. And beauty, harmony with the surrounding landscape, dynamic balance, and the ability to foster new ways of living the space and relationships: these are all aspects we carefully consider, because we design for well-being.
Materials
Sensitive
walls
Choosing natural materials is not only a sustainability ecological choice, but also the proposal of an aesthetic involvement that is also an ethical sensibility. Using and reusing natural materials means recognizing that we are part of a whole, that we co-inhabit this planet with other living species and shared resources. The presence of natural materials is tangible proof that human projects can align with nature’s circularity.
For example, in the home itself,
in the family room,
a dreamer of shelters
dreams of a hut, a nest,
nooks where they might curl up
like an animal in its den.
