es em’s design ethos sees the structure and material of the building as intrinsic to the spatial qualities and combines this with a high attention to detail to create a rich exposed language of building. Ideas, guided by concepts of modularity and flexibility in the belief that change is inevitable and the user should have the ability to adapt, modify and add to the object or space to meet evolving requirements. The design process focuses on the relationship between technique and materiality, pushing the limits of both to develop products and spaces.
