​
Cura Design have the deeply held conviction that:
​
Architecture can be primal in the way that it connects us to nature and to ourselves and that we need this connection for a healthy mind, body and spirit.
​
Architecture can be thoroughly entertaining and a commodity though at the root of architecture, is something that is precious and must be remembered:
That the way we touch the earth or touch the sky or turn a corner with
architecture - can touch our hearts, can say "yes" and embrace and enhance
the nature that surrounds us - the earth, the sky, the trees and the horizon.
Cura Design are optimistic about the future and believe in solutions born of the heart and implemented through the latest technologies. We endeavour to best serve the natural world not by retreating from it and minimizing our footprint, but by participating more fully as a new regenerative extension of ecology, protecting and enhancing biodiversity through integrating design and architectural technology with nature for our well-being.
​
We bring a foundation built from international experience in Oslo, Paris, New York City and London with world leading architecture practices and consultants to all of our projects.
​
​The common thread that runs through all our projects are a love of nature, a love of architecture and a love of life.
​
Biophilia, this love of living things .....we need to foster that feeling too and we need that, that's what we have to rediscover, it's reverence for living things
so that we can take on this role of being nurturers of Nature and not exploiters that's that's the key lesson we've got to learn.” Dennis McKenna
