The noticeably increased length of time we spend at home is a clear-cut reminder of how sacred our living spaces are. The magnified lens handed by the constraining effects of the novel coronavirus has provided a new perspective on defining utility and efficiency. And while home improvement has been omnipresent in regular conversation, there exists a remarkable shift—the increased interest of many and the rise of purchase and demand for home goods. Whether one’s personal space is actually intended to pivot as an answer to the effects of stringent lockdown measures, the transformative art of architecture and interior design offers solutions. MEGA asked three in-demand artists in the field share their expert advice on undergoing these changes.
GEEWEL FUSTER: EQUITY BY EQUILIBRIUM
Architect and interior designer Geewel Fuster injects character into any room through a conscientious perspective, encouraging the balance of form and function in each of her spaces. “My style is relevantly chic but casual, relaxed but refined, elevated but approachable,” Fuster says. Mindful of design aging and the lifespan of human attention, she is well aware of the necessity of timeless design. Hence, she avoids becoming a slave to trends. Instead, gut and goal work hand in hand to produce visions that satisfy both her and her clients. “I can say that I can be both spontaneous and calculated. Spontaneous, since I usually follow my intuition on each project. Calculated, in the basic standard principles that should be followed.”
