YellowKite Logo.jpg

We re-imagine spaces as a canvas for people's lives.

Yellow Kite embodies our vision for a poetic, open-minded approach to architecture. We strive to create inspiring, imaginative spaces that are intimate, cozy, and unique

​A home to us is a sanctuary from the outside world and needs to protect as much as serve its inhabitants' needs. We aspire to create comfortable, warm spaces, with efficient layouts that people want to spend time in.

our approach

For us each project is bespoke. Our starting point is the site's actual setting, with its unique orientation, framing of views, and the relationship to its surroundings. We study the property carefully to maximise its potential.

Our spaces have intimacy. We seek to create environments that are cozy, warm and inviting. Clean lines, earthy materials, and an overall calm atmosphere where elements find their place efortlessly

Nature is at the very heart of our approach.

For us the landscape is an active part of the layout. We see indoors and outdoors as interactive parts of the same entity. Also, using raw materials, natural light or green roofs,we seek to bring nature into our design in every way

We have established working relationships with a range of contractors and have a solid knowledge of the building industry. Attention to detail is key for us and we have a network of consultants and suppliers to respond to all the challenges of a project, including Passive House standards.

sustainability

Nature and sustainability are at the centre of our creative philosophy. We study light conditions carefully and seek for ways to bring in nature, either in the form of views, air or sky. We have a preference for the use of natural raw materials such as timber or clay for their evocative aesthetics as much as their sustainability credentials. Materiality, in that sense, comes in effortlessly for a serene, timeless atmosphere.

We are working on Passivhaus schemes and are in collaboration with contractors, suppliers, and organisations with the technical knowledge to provide for such schemes
