At F36, our design philosophy comprises an integration of function and aesthetics into a cohesive, inseparable whole. We believe that meaningful environments emerge when beauty and utility join forces seamlessly. Our design process aims to produce work assembled sensibly without sacrificing spark, and is guided by a set of fundamental principles that govern every project:
Flow: A choreographed procession of occupants through, around, and between objects is an essential feature of good architecture.
Organization: Spatial organization defines activity. Space must be sculpted and arranged to accommodate intended uses while allowing for adaptability and discovery.
Privacy and Openness: Navigating the boundaries of private and open space leads to environments that respect lifestyle, work style, and personal boundaries.
Solid and Void: Buildings are shaped as much by what’s there as by what’s not there. The equilibrium between form and space contains the essence of architecture.
Light and Material: Light is a visual agent. It is a source of stimulation, a navigational beacon, and an anchor for human activity. A good building receives and directs light to create atmospheres that inspire and perform.
Comfort: True comfort requires space that is human-scaled, accordingly lit, and furniture-friendly. Well-designed space supports well-being through ease of comfort.
Detail: Detail isn’t decorative; it’s essential. Every junction, edge, and surface must be thoughtfully resolved and beautifully constructed.
Economy: Economy encompasses resourcefulness and intentionality; it’s not merely cost control, and it’s definitely not an enemy of quality.
Style: Style is not imposed; it emerges organically. Through process, context, and purpose, a project’s identity unfolds, uninhibited by trend.
Design with Purpose: Exceptional design enhances the quality of human life and work. Every space we create is a response to a need, an environment, or an aspiration.
