less is more, <=>
A minimalist approach to design goes beyond a clean aesthetic. Minimalism strives for efficiency. An efficient home = an efficient lifestyle.
As an excercise, sketch (or envision) your dream house. How many rooms does it have? How big are the rooms? Roughly estimate the size and chances are your house stretches beyond 2000 sq. ft. The average American home size has more than doubled since the 1950s from 1000 sq. ft. to 2,300 sq. ft. So how can we reduce your 2000+ sq. ft. home into an 800 sq. ft and still get the same functionality? We trim the fat and consolidate your program.
A house can be broken up into two spacial types: private and public. Private spaces, such as the bedroom, or bathroom, are spaces of refuge and necessarily function independently of one another. Public spaces, such as the kitchen, living, and dining spaces, are social gathering spaces. We can merge these spaces to eliminate excess and even enhance the sociability of the space. Equally important, saved space = saved money. We can be roll our savings into enhancing our consolidated space to make for an even more enjoyable lifestyle.
