Angela Elliss Design

Architecture is the built form of people & their desire to have relevant place, for
family, work & pleasure. To hear the unique story that is read when moving through a crafted space, the ability
to make an every day task seem relaxing & enjoyable - that is the true composition of beautiful
architecture.



Too often the architectural worth of a building is valued using
purely visual means. Decisions made this way can be
overly influenced by such things as fashion, personal self-esteem & social
acceptance. But it is the human felt experience while using these spaces that
truly speaks its success & worth. This essence of a building's
place, worth & belonging can be established with the use of such mediums
as:

simplicity of lines	protection
articulation of colour	the inclusion of movement
balanced mixture of materials	the "must-have" of warmth
...providing opportunities for enjoyed actions & fruitful reactions

It is also the responsibility of the designer to constantly educate & inform the
client of the architectural process, not because it is required as part of the
Architect Registration Act but because good communication will greatly increase
the likelihood of producing a beautiful building - an art form for all people to enjoy &
appreciate.



The environment you live & work in not only has an amazing effect on your
physical health, but it also mentally shapes who you are and who you may
become. What is a building if it raises nothing of enjoyment or inspiration from
the individuals who utilize it? As a designer I want to generate creative & positively
reactive spaces for people to be in - where you feel enjoyment & are
inspired by what the building gives back to you.



True architecture is not the latest forms & colours that are offered to us
through glossy journals. Architecture is the constructional form of people
& the way they live.
