MATERIALS AND TACTILE ELEMENTS
The use and choice of material creates the overall visual sensation and ambience of a project.
The selection of finishes to the design creates a special identity to a project. The use of super graphics and artwork provide
the finishing touches and evoke much sensory responses. Lighting and graphics play a great part in the design. The
introduction of hard and soft landscape and water elements provide much calming effect to the senses.
