Audax is a distinguished firm specializing in architecture, interior design, and construction, with offices in Toronto and Palm Beach, and led by Gianpiero Pugliese and Mariya Naumov who embrace a philosophy known as Human Architecture. This approach arose from observing that modern built environments often neglect beauty, favouring functionality at the cost of aesthetic appeal. Human Architecture, a deliberate response to this trend, seeks to restore enduring design principles like symmetry, proportion, and materiality, ensuring that each space we create is both aesthetically pleasing and deeply meaningful.
We offer three services independently or in combination with one another, depending on our client’s needs and the nature and location of the project. Audax's portfolio showcases projects that incorporate one, two, or all three of our services. Our experience in architecture, interior design, and construction makes our work in each respective discipline better. When performing only one or two of the services, we work collaboratively with like-minded professionals in the other disciplines to achieve the goals of our clients. Our holistic understanding brings numerous advantages, including enhanced efficiency and quality control, and when unified under one contract, singular accountability that simplifies the client experience. We specialize in crafting luxurious environments across various domains, including residential estates, hospitality venues, and boutique condominiums, ensuring each project bears our signature blend of elegance and functionality.
Gianpiero and Mariya lead Audax not just as a business but as a way of life, instilling every project with elegance and timelessness. They are committed to a philosophy that values the deep-seated principles of quality and aesthetic excellence, ensuring that their shared vision resonates through every aspect of their work. This dedication makes Audax synonymous with enduring beauty, reflecting a profound commitment to enhancing living environments through thoughtful and inspired design.
The Architect as a Master Builder
At Audax, we embrace the historic model of the Architect as Master Builder, providing a unified approach to the creation of buildings and interiors. When two or three of the services are combined on select projects, our integrated approach offers numerous benefits: accountability and transparency throughout the project, unparalleled convenience for the client, strict quality and budget control, and enhanced efficiency and speed in execution. When offered independently, the knowledge of each discipline makes us better at the other and allows us to collaborate with other professionals at a level of expertise not usually found in each discipline.
We specialize in a variety of project categories, including luxury homes and estates, cottages and vacation homes, boutique and high-rise condominiums, hospitality spaces such as restaurants, and custom furniture design. At Audax, our commitment to excellence and attention to detail guarantees that each project not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of quality and sophistication.
When combining the services under one roof, clear and consistent communication is ensured. With a single point of contact, clients experience greater accountability and transparency. This unified approach eliminates miscommunication, enhances project oversight, and provides clients with regular updates, ensuring that all aspects of the project align with their vision and expectations.
Managing multiple vendors can be overwhelming. At Audax, we simplify the process for our clients. Clients benefit from the convenience of dealing with one team throughout the entire project. This seamless coordination reduces stress and allows clients to focus on their vision, knowing that every detail is expertly managed by our dedicated professionals.
Integrating multiple services allows us to maintain stringent quality and budget control. From the initial design phase to the final construction, our cohesive team ensures that high standards are met at every stage. This approach minimizes costly errors and delays, ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget without compromising on quality.
Our streamlined process enhances efficiency and speed. With all teams working collaboratively, we can anticipate and resolve potential issues quickly. This synergy accelerates project timelines, allowing us to deliver exceptional results faster. Clients benefit from reduced waiting times and the assurance that their projects will be completed promptly and efficiently.
