ATELIER GESELL’S PHILOSOPHY

When Timeless Harmony is present in Architecture,

Building Users feel Elevated,

Design Trends don’t matter anymore,

And Buildings become Constantly Appreciating Assets.

Then, Time serves Architecture, and Architecture serves its Users.

(and not backward)

Santiago Gesell.

Architecture is a complex discipline. It is about harmoniously integrating both Reality and Idealism. Reality without Idealism results in a dull built environment. Idealism at expense of Reality results in practical failures. 

In ATELIER GESELL, we take pride in observing Reality rigorously: Client needs, along with engineering, regulatory, time, and budget constraints are our grounding base, as much as it is for any responsible architecture firm. 

The point is, on top of that solid foundation that most firms provide, what ATELIER GESELL has to offer to help the people that experience our projects feel vibrations of enjoyment, wellbeing, and beauty? How do we help protect our project owners from the volatile real estate values that comes with jumping into temporary design trends?  How do we make that magic happen? 

The answer is simple: We haven’t come up with anything new. However, we have carefully studied countless solutions that, architects wiser than us, across multiple styles and cultures, have applied through millennia of architecture history to create Timeless Harmony in buildings and interiors. Our distinctive skill? Knowing what solution applies for a particular project, and how integrating them into the everchanging complexity of modern construction, regardless of the project’s style, use, or budget. 

It sounds simple, right? Truth is, it takes decades of studying, traveling, walking through the masterpieces of the world’s architectural heritage, and lots and lots of trial and error while drafting projects to achieve that intuitive skill that allows for the creation of harmonious designs based on timeless, proven, Architectural concepts. 

The result of following our method? You cannot go wrong if you achieve Timeless Harmony: Your residence will suit your soul better, your business will make your customers and employees happier, and even more: Real Property, which is a critical piece in any person or business’s economy will most likely, over time,  enjoy a healthy market appreciation.

This is our simple Philosophy. We are not saying we achieve Timeless Harmony in every project. But we try. We are eager to start talking about how to make this magic happen in your next project!
