Meticulous marvels

Ar. Vittoria Mawis-Aliston

Meticulous is a word that directly means careful attention to detail, but it can also be the scorn of builders and designers everywhere.

Meticulous clients catch the smallest of flaws at first glance. Perfection is the goal of meticulous planning, and though nothing is perfect, trying to achieve something close to it can cause headaches and insomnia.

Despite the challenges however, meticulous design often results in the most wonderful spaces. Perfectionist planners aim to address possible issues, meet stringent tastes and create timeless art. The value of spaces goes up with meticulous design.

How can you tell if a home has been meticulously designed? Is it always evident at first glance if the space is well-built, expertly crafted and detail-oriented? Here are some elements to watch out for to determine if your future space is a marvel created by meticulous makers.

Attention to details

“God is in the details.” These famous words by German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe hold true in the field of planning and design.

From the termination of finishes to the methodology of installations, you’ll be surprised how much detail is involved in executing the simplest of spaces. This is probably what separates the designer from hobbyist builders and creators.

While almost anyone can put up four walls and call it a home, only the true architect can actually configure elements like light, wind and heat to make the home truly responsive to human needs.

Meticulous planners are also awesome in hiding building flaws from immediate sight. The use of architectural accessories and creative methodologies differentiate the professional from the amateur.

True designers can transform imperfections into art brought about by years of experience and skill.

Light, air and space are elements of the home that are well harnessed by seasoned designers.

Addressing future problems

Speaking about foresight, this is probably one of the most difficult yet essential skills to develop in the planning industry.

It is hard to pinpoint potential sources of issues in things that are not yet existing, but well-honed designers are capable of detecting future problems and addressing them before the spaces are even built.

Foresight is important because it can save future homeowners a lot of stress and expenses in the long run. By anticipating and resolving potential issues before they even occur, designers help homeowners save money and time.

Timeless aesthetics

One more thing about meticulous designers is that they anticipate the standing of their creations in the long run.

Fads easily come and go, and deciding to choose materials that are popular today may make your home feel dated tomorrow. It is up to designers to identify which trends are here to stay for good and become a “classic.”

By classic, we mean that over time, these elements will still be able to address user needs and please varying palates. Timeless design is easy to maintain, durable and built to last. The thought process of well-trained designers consider these factors.

Beyond beauty, the aesthetics of professionals are meant to outlive popular novelties. They are meant to inspire awe for many years to come.
