The Technical

Emmedue's origins began on the East Coast of the US, in a culturally and historically distinct area of Charleston, South Carolina, also known as the Low County. As our beginning practice originates from an area of the country, where design and construction face extreme challenges such as high hurricane winds, ocean level surges, and earthquake liquefaction. Our areas of expertise also includes designing across a wide variety of construction types to include, standard lumber, heavy timber, ICF, Terracotta Clay Tile, Glass Block, AEC, Cast-in-Place Concrete, Pre-Engineered Steel, Modular, and various other types of styles to include Reinforced Concrete Moment Frame, Panelized, and Proprietary Custom-Designed ICF Construction Assemblies.

The Philosophical

Besides being a very technical practice, Emmedue Architecture was founded on Matteo's design principles in the areas of phenomenology and sensory perception. Architecture has to be able to offer experiences embedded within the built environments that write the history of ourselves. 

Matteo often says: "Architecture is the essence of space, it is the duty of the built form to capture its most significant features. As It exists before we can see it, I am committed to unveil it and make it come to life”
