Simple, Not Simplistic – MRTN Architects
‘When we think about a simple space, or simplicity to a space, it’s quite different from a simplistic space. There's actually a bit of complexity within the simplicity.’
– Antony Martin, MRTN Architects
What is the difference between a simple space and a simplistic one? Antony Martin, Director of MRTN Architects, reflects on the ideas that guide his work: space, light and material as the primary tools of architecture. Rather than pursuing a marketable image of minimalism, Martin discusses how variation, material honesty and landscape create spaces with character, warmth and longevity, homes that evolve over time and feel grounded in place.
