MASTRIDICASA Architecture + Design Process

​

Starting with your budget, dictating all design decisions and guiding the path forward - finding the correct ratio of labor, materials, and technique to provide the most cost effective solution for your desired outcome, and meeting every objective set forth by the project goals.

 

Moving on to the site - the environment, topography, climate, orientation, natural patterns of movement, solar exposure... benefits and hindrances altogether at once. Formulating all of the variables of the aforementioned into a solution that properly accounts for the economic boundaries, desired aesthetics and project priorities - the solution requires a deep knowledge base, extraordinary creativity and an unrestrained, yet disciplined, freedom of thought.

​

Expressing meaningful forms and scale through space and mass, factoring in proportions, circulation patterns, planned uses, materials and methods, creating a suitable composition in efforts to control the environment without working against it, harnessing the benefits while maintaining an equilibrium, and creating a harmonious spatial dialogue that is relevant to both it's end-user and those who may come after.

​

Interacting with the natural light through it's movement and ever changing ephemeral qualities, using void and mass to channel and restrict, texture and relief to mute or amplify, and geometry to further capture a specific quality or evoke a certain emotion.

​

Striving for innovation and a sense of place within it's physical and social context, manifesting an appealing visual rhythm, an appropriateness, uniqueness and inherent functionality by design...

​

MASTRIDICASA Architecture + Design, for all things architecture and design...
