RENAISSANCE: Row houses for wisdom properties

Philosophy

Clean and simple

People sometimes equate good design with expensive lavish materials and ornate trim in over abundance to the point of overwhelming the viewer. “ Less is more” does hold true. The quality of space is much more important than quality or amount of “decoration”. Clean and simple surfaces can be intresting and sophisticated given the right composition of form, materials, proportion, colour, texture, etc. Although they may sometimes be appropriate, trim and molding are more utilised by contractors to hide misaligned materials, rough edges and poor craft. They intensify and emphasize the superficial, while distracting from the subtle beauty and order of the essential architecture.
