Design Philosophy

We relate to a great Master of Architecture, Frank Gehry, who states in his Design Philosophy that the mission of an architect is clear and that is:

“To design something that one would want to be a part of. A structure one would want to visit and enjoy in an attempt to improve one’s quality of life.”

We add to this by interactively involving our clients as much as possible during the creative process to really make them feel part of this exciting journey of a project. By implementing this philosophy we’ve experienced great joy and satisfaction, experiencing the excitement when they realize that they are actually part of the design process of their own project.

We believe that exceptional architecture has the power to transform lives.

We approach every building plan with a deep sense of responsibility for the impact it will have on the environment, community, and individuals.

We place great emphasis on collaboration during the design phase; we urge clients to partake in the creative process as they carry ownership of finished projects. We incorporate each client’s unique vision, values and needs into our designs.

Bringing spaces to life where form follows function.

Barefoot Architecture incorporates design that contributes to the health and wellbeing of people, as well as the surrounding landscape.

Bringing harmony between the built environment and nature.

We value the preservation of historic buildings and heritage structures that have their own unique character. Rather than dismantle them, we appreciate opportunities to restore these structures with the utmost care. Transforming them into cherished homes that have an almost antique ambience while embracing modern style.

Vision Statement:

Ultimately, we believe that architecture has the power to not only shape the world around us, but to affect how we feel when interacting with these spaces.

By inspiring creativity, amplifying connection, or simply providing joyful experiences, our goal is to create designs that enrich the lives of those who engage with them.

We are honored to contribute our expertise in the industry and take pride in the work we do at Design66.
