ARCHITECTS PROJECTS

FMD DESIGN

WHAT WERE THE PROJECT GOALS AND THE STYLE INSPIRATION ? HOW WAS THIS ACCOMPLISHED ?
I wanted to create a family friendly home that was inviting , exotic , beautiful and most importantly comfortable . I love modern architecture and design , but nothing is more important to me than utilizing each space to its best ability and making each room livable , functional , comfortable and useable for all ages . The couches have custom depth so everyone can lounge and no one will fight for “ the corner ”, the coffee tables don ’ t have sharp edges in case of children or pets it also softens the space , the rugs are plush and soft on the feet made out of silk and bamboo , bright colours throughout the house to balance the modern elements surrounding it like the concrete and steel sliding doors and creating a happy space , mood lighting throughout the house to create ambience , indoor and outdoor living at its finest ! You can make a simple coffee in the kitchen and open the sliding door leading to one of the courtyards and have the luxury to enjoy it outside while listening the birds singing and watching the double coy fishpond in front of you playing and swimming in the water . The same applies for the living room with oversized furniture to cater to a happy filled home and the ability to open all of the front of the house with its slicing doors and enjoy boat watching from your living room or covered terrace because you have that indoor and outdoor option depending on your mood or weather .
