While architecture, technically speaking, deals with the structure and exterior of buildings, in practice it is intimately tied in with questions of interior design. For this reason, at DS Squared Architects we offer an integrated interior design service alongside architecture and building design, as in our experience the people who design a building are most strongly placed to advise on the best way to manage and set out the interior.

We understand the importance of good interior design that complements and enhances the architecture of the building. We work closely with customers to create unique, bespoke, and individual interior design strategies for every room of their building, facilitating their needs, style preferences, and budget. Each design counterbalances the structure and personality of the building while simultaneously expressing the character and preferences of the owner.

ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN

Many homeowners and businesses choose to work with an architect to design the building and a separate interior designer to focus on furnishings and decorations for the interior. In this approach, the designer ‘adopts’ a building that has already been completed by someone else, and has to adapt the design brief around these design constraints.

Our team at DS Squared Architects are intimately involved with planning and building the interiors of buildings as an integrated space to balance the demands of appearance and function. This gives us greater capacity to help shape the design and decorative elements of the building in harmony with our client’s preferences and tastes, with fewer compromises, and faster completion.

CREATIVE FREEDOM AND INTEGRITY

With our combined architecture and interior design projects, we can specify design elements, including textiles, paints, and materials, as an integral part of the project brief, rather than an extra detail at the end to ensure the maximum impact of any specific features. For our customers, this unified approach provides greater creative freedom and control for them to shape their property to reflect their character and vision, and results in a more seamless and cohesive process than having to work with multiple professionals on different aspects of the project.

We have the skills, creative passion, and capabilities to direct architectural projects from the very beginning – initial concepts and ideas – through the technical and structural elements of architecture, and onwards to the living fabric of a building, in the form of its design and appearance.
