Our philosophy
of interior design is Service
Interior design is the total creative solution for a programmed
interior. It encompasses the conceptual planning, aesthetic
and technical solutions applied to achieve the desired result.
A "programmed interior" means a specific intended purpose
or use of the built environment.
Interior design concerns itself with more than just the
visual or ambient enhancement of an interior space, it seeks
to optimize and harmonize the uses to which the built environment
will be put.
Many factors come into play in formulating the design solution.
There is the space itself--its dimensions and construction--with
its potential and its limitations. There is how the space
will be used--for work or leisure, entertainment or worship,
healing or learning. There is the meaning of the space,
what it signifies--be it power, authority, security, wisdom,
achievement, playfulness or serenity. There are practical
considerations, like ease of access, amount of light, acoustics,
seating and places to store or set things down. There are
health and safety considerations, attention to special needs
and more.
The elements of design range from the visual (color, lighting,
form) to the tactile (surface, shape, texture) to the auditory
(noise, echo). The designer must have an aesthetic, practical
and technical appreciation for these elements. He or she
must understand how people use and respond to these elements,
not just individually but as the elements interact with
one another.
Designers must also be knowledgeable about the many types
and characteristics of furnishings, accessories and ornaments
used in creating interiors. Furniture, lighting, carpeting
and floor covering, paint and wall covering, glass, wrought
metal, fixtures, art and artifacts are just some of the
many items and materials designers select from. In addition,
they must be familiar with the various styles and history
of styles of design, art and architecture
