Ambitious and artistic architecture for major housing units
Architecture can be expressed through the construction of urban buildings and projects, and also through temporary installations created by artists. In other words, we view architectural prowess precise criteria: volumetric aspect, space, perspective and light. Particular attention to perspective greatly influences an interior design. In fact, it becomes the difference between a successful or unsuccessful design, as the eye recognizes the value of the perspective, and the subject will be uncomfortable if it is not perfect. It is through balanced volume and the justified amount of light that this perspective can be improved upon. At and a justified introduction of light that this perspective can be improved. At FX Studio design, interior design in Montreal, we are known for our precise lines and clean volumetric aspects.
We lean towards simplifying a room in order to make it more open and airy, with kitchen space designed for ease of use and smooth traffic flow.
Knowing how to observe city design
It's not often we raise our eyes to look at a building while walking in the street, or perceive the environment around us, but it is actually there, ever present, and it influences our actions and mood, so stop a moment to observe your surroundings. When you travel, pay particular attention to urban planning, street furniture, traffic zones, symbolic buildings, whether historic or modern; you will come away with a more critical eye! As an example, Barcelona (story to follow) sticks in my mind: major boulevards so well planned out, everything in its place - pedestrians, taxis, tramway, bus, motorcycles and bicycles, all following a structured urban plan surrounded by an evenly-balanced architecture. Historical and modern elements harmonized in the perfect marriage.
Travel, explore, admire!
