We believe that every project, no matter how big or small should be approached from the same perspective.
We challenge each brief to:
-
Minimise the impact on global environments
-
Enhance the community and the surrounding area
-
Create the most ideal spaces for the end user
This trifocal methodology has the potential to provide a catalyst for change that benefits all. We reject a one-size-fits-all approach in favour of allowing each project to grow into a bespoke design that works uniquely with the immediate community.

Dario is passionate about sustainable and bioclimatic architecture and he strongly defends the benefits of an environmentally friendly construction industry. He is committed to leave a 'greener' future to the coming generations.
With the aim to gain expertise in this field he left his home country after he completed his studies at the Polytechnic School of Genova. He joined Luis de Garrido Architects in Spain where he was involved in deep green advanced architecture projects.
Now, in this new stage of his career, he is also focusing on the technical side of the projects - driven by Picasso's quote:
' Everything you can imagine is real '.
He speaks fluent Italian and Spanish.

TEAMWORK
In our office, we envisage the work to build a building as teamwork, not only about Green Tea Architects but all the consultants involved. In order to achieve a "job well done" it is required a great client, a good builder and a great team of professionals - architect, structural engineer & mechanical engineer. All of them have to be working as a team with the same objectives and aims. We propose a clear & fluent communication with all the intervening parties.

youth & play provision
(NEW CROSS - LONDON)
TEXT
The youth and play provision in New Cross is a ‘well established community based hub with an adventure playground’ that provides a wide range of youth services both support and activities to school aged children. The charity had outgrown the single storey building it was quite dark, had no direct access to the playground and was in disrepair. Not only this the provision was not visible from the street as the site's boundary is constructed brick wall and high level fence.
To keep cost to a minimum the new building was constructed on the same footprint with an additional storey on top. This part of the build was clad in cedar with large windows of varied sizes and heights for both younger and older children to have a view out to the playground. There are also several doors from the main space out to the adventure playground.
To make the building visible from the street we added a single-story portion clad in red Trespa panels which sits on the perimeter of the site. This portion of the building acts as the primary entrance into the space. Exposed concrete blocks and an exposed metal deck ceiling makes up the building construction in addition to a dark brick plinth which acts as the skirting. The construction provides not only a robust building for the children but also helped keep construction cost down.
The building is now in use and the facilities now meet the needs of the users. Not only this the provision can now hire spaces out for events meetings or workshops to create extra revenue.
