Designer…or Perfectionist?

“I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well.”

–Tom Ford

If you’re anything like us here at Area3, true lovers of modern and minimal, words like perfectionist, and over-analytical may often be used to describe your personality. This just means you pay extra special attention to all the details. Emphasis on the word “all”.

So what is it that sets certain people apart? Especially those with great taste for design, from the messy, and chaotic bunch? Well, unfortunately there isn’t much of an answer out there for you, without getting into a whirlwind of scientific facts about individuals brain chemistry. Nevertheless, we’re telling you to embrace it. It’s a designer’s personal superpower. No one can organize better than you, or colour co-ordinate a space better than you! Your guests and clients will feel the effects of your design choices, even if they don’t consciously appreciate it.

That attention to detail, obsession for flawlessness, and precise brain of yours is literally a miracle worker. Think of Bjarke Ingles, the famous Danish architect who recently designed the exciting Vancouver House. A house where green living is so holistically integrated into the scale of the urban building. Bjarke Ingles Group must have gone through revision after revision to get every idea and feature just right.

Another Danish architect firm, pushing boundaries through meticulous consideration for detail to innovation is Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects. They have developed a few buildings across Canada, and plenty of international projects. All of which reflect gorgeous, minimal design, and that Scandinavian style we so love. Such as the simple, light, and open floor plans in the residencies of Hasten 21, located in Stockholm Sweden.

The ability to design the entire inner workings and exterior of a functional building, requires so much detail and attention, that verging on the traits of a perfectionist is almost necessary. That inner perfectionist of yours is just as brilliant as the Danes, and that’s something we believe here at Area3, is a quality to be proud of!
