Why Simple Homes Are Never Simplistic with 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 simple design and simplistic design? How do we create calm, character and warmth without unnecessary decoration? What role do space, light and material play in our connection to architecture, and how can material honesty transform the way we live day to day? Antony Martin, Director of Melbourne-based MRTN Architects, shares the thinking that guides his practice and offers an insight into their approach to simplicity.
