Most firms design for the eye. We design for the whole person. Every Mabco project is planned, specified and checked against five senses, so the space is not just striking on handover day but better to live and work in every day after.
Daylight is planned before furniture. We study how sun moves through a space, layer artificial light by the hour, and settle on a palette that rests the eye instead of shouting for it.
In Aangan Residence · Double-height glazing on three sides pulls daylight deep into the stairwell.
Every room has a sound. We control absorption and isolation room by room, so a study stays quiet while the house is busy and an open office still lets people think.
In Aangan Residence · A staggered walnut screen softens sound across the open living floor.
Wood, stone, linen and metal are chosen for how they feel in the hand, not only how they look on camera. A handrail, a door pull and a tabletop are touched thousands of times. We design them that way.
In Aangan Residence · Walnut, brushed brass and honed stone, chosen for the hand as much as the eye.
Fresh-air planning, planting and natural materials that age well give a space its atmosphere. Walk in with your eyes closed and you should still know where you are.
In Aangan Residence · A courtyard planter and tree bring green, living air into the house.
Circulation, ceiling heights and thresholds guide the body without it noticing. A stair should invite you up. A corridor should never feel like one.
In Aangan Residence · Twenty risers through two hundred degrees: the stair is the spine of the home.
Light, acoustics, materials, air and flow, planned together.
