"The Earth provides enough to satisfy everyone's needs, but not for everyones greed." - Mahatma Gandhi

Philosophy Horizon Design Studio believes that it is the quality of our immediate surroundings which influence our quality of life, weather at home, office or public space. It is not just buildings but urban design that affects our well-being. We are concerned with the physical context of a project, sensitive to the culture and climate of their place. HDS investigates and produces space in response to life, the potential of function, the character of place and the nature of material and believe that the fine buildings are the result of a continuous design process in which client and architect work together in achieving best of architectural quality. Our expertise is based upon a solid foundation of budget, process and program control, and an intensive dialogue with the city, the client, consultants, contractors and end users. HDS realized that the best in the new must touch the best in Old. We are traditionalist as well as modernist and feel that a purification of architecture in terms of our own time might also take back to its roots. It is important for us to look at the whole continuum of sustainable architecture and must consider the impact of their design on environment. It is our obligation to meet the future with a full understanding that sustainable architecture must become the commonplace in design, we are ultimately responsible for the wellbeing of not only our buildings and building users, but the very fabric of nature and environment. To be modern is not a fashion, it is a state. It is necessary to understand history, and he who understands history knows how to find continuity between that which was, that which is, and tat which will be. Le Corbusier
