Form, Function, Beauty
The interplay of function, form
and beauty has always held a fascination for Amedeo Barbini. Each project he
designs and builds represents a unique combination of the three elements based
on his client's priorities and sensibilities, all underpinned by Barbini's
vision for the site and the structure. "Our approach to design
and building is to create an environment that is simple and direct in its
function while sacrificing nothing in the realm of beauty. Whether it be the
materials used, the spatial proportions, the hierarchy of millwork or the design
of the flow in the living spaces, ultimately function must prevail to satisfy
and enhance the unique way each client wants to live in their home. That's a
challenge we enjoy - understanding a client's needs and making it all work
exactly for them. That means our clients our usually quite involved throughout
the process. Respect and integrity are how we ensure we get it right for them."
"One result we've experienced is when a client has lived in their home a while
and calls to tell us they've just noticed a detail or an aspect of function that
they love. We call it our layered approach - design that may not be readily
apparent at first but that continues to reveal itself over time."
