Matt Gibson Architecture + Design is interested in architectural spaces that address the primal experiential nature in people, through basic attractions to light, material and patterns of movement.
The spaces are concerned with formally consistent compositions of volumes & elements where interior and exterior are conceived as an integrated idea. This involves a commitment and close attention to the detailing of scale, surface, threshold and junction and the rigorous exploration of the zones between what has come before and what is new.
