Lived In And Picture Perfect 7

Where; What; How

Obedience to the principles of design will always ensure that the methods employed adhere to standards and guarantee full satisfaction. These principles make provision for personality centric designs to conform with structural requirements and aesthetic values.

Adhering to principles not only keep us on track but ensures integrity both in self discipline and process of delivery. In this case, design and space management is the focus; providing satisfaction of both the function of the built environment and it’s aesthetics.

Sometimes, it’s the “what” that defines a container. Other times, it’s the “where” that defines the “what”. Regardless of what and where, the “how” is the most important variant and often a function of knowledge, instruction, obedience and principles observed. The method / process informs the experience and the most pleasurable experiences are those born out of obedience to the core of the individual and the principles of the trade in creating spaces.

As a tribute to my Father and to honor the legacy of his life and work ethics - self discipline, integrity, for God, love and truth, these photos of lived in and picture perfect spaces have been carefully selected from our homes (my siblings and I). Spaces created to serve the intrinsic nature while reflecting adherence to the principles of the trade with creative interpretation that augment without detracting.

As an Ambivert, my Father would often be found in any of these nooks, reading, journaling, adding value to the function of the spaces and making their creation worthwhile.

We are not just space managers, we are space users and as a wise man once said,
