"IT’S A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE.
WE ARE PUT IN THIS WORLD TO CREATE"
- Chani
In an effort to simplify the complexities of design, I’d say there are two main elements/principles that should remain as a disciplined thought throughout the entirety of a project as it relates to the design:
​
Religiously applying this abstraction to every detail within the conception and implementation, lends to timelessness within design.
Furthermore it engenders a feeling of understanding that which can not simply be put into words, as one walks the spread of a completed project, day in and day out.
“Warmth” and “Balance & Flow”.
There are always two clients within a project.
​
The Client, and The Space.
How do I honor the space, to non conditionally reflect the surroundings it’s set within. To embrace the architectural
theme of the current structure. To bolden the magnificent particularities of its character, whilst quietly removing the unwanted details.
And to always collaborate this effort while breathing new life, allowing the components of the current details introduced, to glimmer amongst what was, what is, and what will be.
