Our philosophy

Compas architecture offers high quality projects to its clients thanks to a special listening to the project originators, enabling “eurythmia”, or the “sound harmony of the different parts of the building”, according to the antic architect Vitruvius (90 – 20 BC). This result is obtained through a special care granted to the client at each step of the project, his or her desires and intentions, as well as to the inputs allowed by the international dimension of the architecture firm and the multicultural perspectives carried by its members.
