The Residential Sector.

At DNA Group, we believe that home is the most personal form of architecture — a reflection of identity, lifestyle, and place. Our residential design philosophy centres on creating spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also deeply rooted in context, sustainability, and the unique lives of the people who inhabit them. We engage closely with our clients to understand their needs, habits, values, and aspirations. Our goal is to design homes that support daily life, foster well-being, and evolve gracefully with their inhabitants.

Whether urban or rural, each home is designed in dialogue with its environment — responding to climate, landscape, history, and local character to create a sense of belonging and timelessness. We prioritise strong spatial organisation, natural light, honest materials, and clean lines to craft homes that are intuitive and serene. We value the tactile and sensory qualities of architecture. Every detail, junction, and material is carefully considered, working in harmony to enrich the lived experience of the home.

Sustainability is integral, not an afterthought. From passive solar strategies to responsibly sourced materials and energy-efficient systems, our designs aim to reduce environmental impact while enhancing comfort and resilience.

The Commercial Sector

At DNA Group, we see commercial architecture as an opportunity to create spaces that drive performance, shape experience, and express identity. Our design philosophy balances strategic thinking with creative innovation to deliver environments that are not only functional and efficient but also inspiring and enduring.

We begin each project by understanding our clients’ goals — operational, cultural, and commercial. We design with intention, ensuring that every space supports the business model, enhances user experience, and aligns with long-term vision.

Architecture is also a powerful brand tool. Whether it’s a corporate headquarters, retail space, hospitality venue, or workplace, we craft spaces that reflect and elevate the essence of the brand.

In a fast-changing world, adaptability is critical. Our commercial designs prioritise flexibility, allowing spaces to evolve with new technologies, business models, and work styles. We anticipate change and embed resilience into every project. Through thoughtful spatial planning, passive environmental strategies, and smart building technologies, we create efficient, high-performance environments that reduce costs and enhance productivity.

Context and Community: Great commercial buildings contribute positively to their surroundings. We design in harmony with the urban or natural context, fostering engagement with the public realm and creating destinations that support community, connectivity, and inclusivity.
