Architecture Interior Design

Inside the home, the details hold a sentiment of their own. Tall white pillars stand regally on either side of the breakfast bar, demarcating the culinary expertise of those who work here, while cozy yellow halogen lighting beams down on the workspace in Old Tuscan style. White crown molding along the baseboards of an older home shows that this home owner is a person who appreciates craftsmanship and who likes lavish things. Rounded doorways carry a cozy Mediterranean feel, welcoming all who enter. Truly architecture interior design is a meaningful art that has the power to shape our moods.

When it comes to architecture and interior design, award-winning professional interior designer Russell Versaci says it is all about the "Eight Pillars of Design," which are: invent within the rules; respect the character of the place; tell a story over time; build for the ages; detail for authenticity; craft with natural materials; create the patina of age; and incorporate modern conveniences. So what does Versaci mean by "follow the rules?" He says that custom designs can often stem from studious tradition, so it is good to use the past as a guideline.

You "respect its character" by working with the surrounding land and topography, rather than cutting down all the trees and leveling hills. To "tell a story," architects can create a storyboard of past additions to envision what innovative designs made it what it is today. To "build for the ages," high quality building materials should be used. Molding, roofing, windows and details should follow the old character of the house to "detail for authenticity."
