Based on logic, beauty and humanism, Romarc credo of Design form the foundation for our approach to space creation and guide our projects to discover the art inside.
CREDO OF ROMARC
A living space involves process and commitment, periods of reflection and flashes of illumination.
This process of discovery requires a psychological immersion in the realms of client and community, as do the site and the potential for a timeless design.
As people move through a building, they help shape it. It’s a natural flow.
DISCOVER THE NATURAL ORDER
Context is more than an intellectual consideration of the history or physical appearance of a neighbourhood, city or state, and it’s more than the way new will live with old.
Context draws on the senses, the sights, smells and memories that define a place and make it unique.
Context grows from the community, and people respond to it.
USE CONTEXT TO CREATE IDENTITY
The collective beliefs, traditions and aspirations of a society help define and influence how individuals live.
Civic buildings capture and reflect the shared strengths of a community, reinforcing pride in residents as well as stirring curiosity and respect in visitors
LET CULTURE GUIDE DESIGN
A visitor’s first encounter with a building sets the tone for the experience within.
Buildings should welcome those who enter.
Simplicity always trumps confusion.
CELEBRATE THE ENTRY
The creation of great architecture is a social act, uniting people and place in a complex and worthwhile pursuit.
A community gains a voice, and the architect translates, using their vocabulary to design a timeless building for the common good.
LISTEN CLOSELY
The design process can be long, protracted, bureaucratic, complex.
It requires discipline and patience.
This means concentrating on the end goal and avoiding the distraction of day-to-day “noise.”
It’s all about the big picture, giving our client a building/interior space that serves well for years to come.
STAY FOCUSED
Building/interior space is part of the story of a client/community.
It needs to tell its own tale, but never overpower its purpose or the people who use it. Nor is a building the autobiography of an architect.
Community, site and program unite in a compelling building, where discipline brings the balance of design and function.
RESTRAIN THE EGO
A timeless design is built on intangible factors such as dreams and inspiration.
Truly great architecture is not controlled by catchphrases of the times. It transcends time and space. It shows genuine respect for the environment, for people and for the universe. It is, in short, about design that elevates and restores.
It is about designed that lasts, where function meets art in a building that is both timeless and memorable.
Architecture is to be designed by people for people, now, and for generations to come.
