This month we have the pleasure of interviewing the architect Christopher Brandon.
Chris has used his exceptional design talents and years of experience in Southern California to create a truly unique and progressive architectural practice.
Read the full interview below.
What inspires you and your creative work?
Our work has always been inspired by the surrounding natural landscape. Each element of the design is made to celebrate the organic elements of the environment, blending the boundaries between the indoors and the outside world.
What is your number one tip for creating a beautiful environment?
We always look to see how the natural light will interact with a space and seek to understand how a home or room will be lived in.
What trends are you seeing in interiors lately? And, is there anything you particularly love?
The connection to the outdoors is here to stay. Our team has a deep understanding and passion for indoor/outdoor design, and we aim to create this duality in each of our projects.
How do you combine beauty and function?
Dual-purpose designs allow for both beauty and multi-function, using durable materials to last a lifetime.
What’s the best part about your job?
One of the most important aspects of our role as architects is meeting our clients and truly listening to their needs. An architect's job is more than just designing spaces, it is about interacting with your clients to create a space that best suits their family’s lifestyle. To take the time to sit with a client, get to know them and to absorb their goals for their home; to listen and understand their likes, dislikes, family dynamic, personal history, etc. and use it to tell a story with each home.
What do you love the most about the Famosa Showroom?
The customer service at the Famosa Showroom is truly exceptional. From the knowledgeable consultants, to the vast variety and quality of products at Famosa is a one-a-kind experience.
Do you have any particular goals for your career/business in the future?
Our firm’s reach has had the privilege of expanding to projects across the country, as well as designing our first international project. We love the opportunity to work in different areas and have our aesthetic interact with a variety of new landscapes, climates and to be challenged with varying types of lifestyles, while remaining true to our clients needs.
Thank you Chris!
