PHILOSOPHY ARCHITECTURE Architecture has a teacher, the Genius Loci. The spirit of the site, with its cultural and historical background, its climate and morphology, its flora and resources, determines the creative process of Matteo Thun & Partners. Through the respect of these aspects and a combination of tradition with technology, an ecologically and economically sustainable architecture of durable aesthetic value can be generated. The site becomes protagonist, the building its tribute.

INTERIOR DESIGN The interior design by Matteo Thun & Partners follows the principle of sustainability by seeking the 3 Zeros - zero CO2, zero km, and zero waste. Through simplicity of design, functionality and a selection of shapes and materials according to the Genius Loci - the soul of the place - arise aesthetic value and durability. Moreover, Matteo Thun & Partners believe in the invisible qualities of an interior design, including aspects such as energy efficiency, noise reduction, natural light, visual contact with nature and a comfortable indoor climate through climate management.

PRODUCT DESIGN Product design arises from a holistic approach: buildings need interiors, interiors need products, products need designers, manufacturers and users. The deep understanding of the materials and technologies available and an analysis of the practical requirements generate products that combine functionality and formal simplicity. Product design thus starts from simplification and reduction to the essential, towards an iconic form. A design revealing less weight and more light, pure form and function.
