Architecture
Architectural design is about creating spaces for the wellbeing of people by incorporating their physical, mental emotional and spiritual needs. This involves their past, present and future existences, integrated within the whole environment, be it a home, office, workplace or sacred bush retreat.
In ancient times people lived in houses but went to temples for their spiritual renewal. The temples were designed with three distinct areas: the outer and inner courts for the public and initiates, and the holy of holies for the priests. This whole ritual of life was for the wellbeing of the whole community. From that time, there has been a development in the consciousness of people, who are now increasingly taking responsibility for their own personal wellbeing.
Our homes are now becoming our temples. We need the inner and outer areas, and a protected private space within. It is with this respect for the physical and spiritual integration of the whole person that we design.
Taking an holistic approach to the design of living and working environments, we look at your entire lifestyle to:
- assess the present environment
- determine the requirements for your personal spaces
- identify and review your ideal home
- establish an individual design brief for your new environment
- reshape areas requiring further investigation or attention
Of course, planning and building regulations form major elements in the design process, with special regard being paid to the demands of heritage legacy.
