Design Philosophy
Enhancing Experiences
Studio IAAD believes in the ability of an optimally designed space to nourish, energize and enrich one’s living experience. Their sensitive approach ensures a healthy and safe interaction between people and the spaces they inhabit. They epitomise holistic design by seamlessly enveloping the interior spaces with the exterior structure, maintaining a harmonious relationship between the natural environment and the styled interior aesthetics.
Designing with, for and in sync with nature
They take inspiration from the inherent beauty and balance in nature that reflects in the spaces that they design. A Biophilic Design approach helps to reconnect with nature and create idyllic, healthy and productive habitats for the modern lifestyle. The inclusion of direct or indirect elements of nature into the built environment has shown demonstrated results through research, to reduce stress, anxiety and ill-health, whilst increasing productivity, creativity and wellbeing. It helps improve thermal comfort, air quality, toxin levels and ventilation, acoustic comfort, internal and external views of nature and psychological as well as physiological effects of the habitat, reinforcing vibrancy and serenity in the built space.
Care for Context
Their ingenious design process starts with an extensive understanding of the physical location’s environmental data and the region’s local weather patterns. These account for factors such as seasonality, the intensity of the sun, wind, rainfall and humidity, ensuring a pragmatic approach that leads to a truly climate-responsive, sustainable and environmentally responsible design solution. The design intent aims to blur the boundaries between the built space and the natural environment through a biophilic design approach, with seamless integration of inside and outside. They believe in exposing every part of a building to green spaces, either within the space or through a clear view of the external greens as a design, in order to celebrate simplicity and respect functionality.
Sensitivity to Sustainability
Sustainable thinking is at the core of their design process- as architects, they are acutely aware and sensitive to their clients’ spaces and their health and well-being. They design for energy efficiency, use renewable and natural materials for least environmental impact, ensure waste reduction by employing recycling, upcycling and repurposing, and design for healthy environments, ensuring the quality of air, heating, ventilation, lighting and acoustics.
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
As a studio, they have a penchant for impeccable delivery of designs as they are focused on their quality. Additionally, they continue to push their boundaries in design innovation and encourage the use of sustainable construction practices through a collaborative work process with clients, architects and specialist consultants. For them, design is inclusive of innovation of what they can reuse at site.
Responsible Design and Engaging process
Their deep engagement with clients gives them critical insights, which, combined with their environmentally sensitive design process, responsible use of materials and exquisite craftsmanship, helps them deliver bespoke spaces that are functionally superior and rooted in aesthetics. Their work ethos has been developed around the courage to take up challenges and to be innovative while maintaining honesty, purity and integrity in their designs.
