Less is more
In achieving timelessness in the design of a home, we work towards the concept of simple elegance and refer to the work of master craftsmen when designing contemporary and modern projects. Contemporary Japanese Architecture does this beautifully and heavily inspired the leaders of the Arts and Crafts and Craftsmen style in the early 1900s. Simple elegance is achieved in the way materials come together, attention to detail and an atmosphere that delights the senses, creating a connection with the home that endures over time. – Todd Jersey Architecture
The best way to design your home that won’t go out of style is to allow the architecture to be simple and straightforward to allow the furnishings to take over as trendy aspects of your home. This way it’s easier to update for trends over time. – 45 Architecture
Support the five principles of a well-built home
While many architects focus mostly on general structure and aesthetics, J Christopher Architecture (JCA) believes that integrating sound mechanical design to support the five principles of a well-built home is paramount to the overall comfort, health, and happiness of its clients. If a space is both beautiful visually and mechanically sound — those who live in it will be healthy and comfortable, which translates to the long-term value and health of the home. – J Christopher Architecture.”
