Philosophy
Often when concentrating on creating an esthetically beautiful looking project, architects and designers alike forget about the need of the end users, their clients. A home could be stunning to look at, with amazing architectural features. However, it might not necessarily suit the client's need. For example, when a family does not entertain guests often, should the size of the family room be compromised because of large living and dining rooms as to keep up with so called "current trend"?
We believe each individual project should have its own soul -- the client, the most important element to bring out a successful design. Both function and esthetics should be treated equally to start and adjusted accordingly. Much attention is paid to each detail to ensure that not only it is pleasing to the eyes, but also functional to daily uses, starting with the layout of each room and not ending with the proper placement of a towel ring.
And this objective could only be achieved by working closely with you, the client, the soul of each project.
