The importance of organic architecture in Mississauga Custom Homes?
Organic architecture leverages raw materials to add texture, depth and dimension to your custom Mississauga built home. Organic architecture and sustainability in design reaches across a number of industries. However, especially in the custom home building industry, more and more environmental and sustainable architectural design concepts are coming at the request of our clients.
In today’s modern age, there seems to be a generational shift occurring. For the homeowners of the future, we’re building minimal environmental impact into how we design our homes, communities and cities.
What is organic architecture
Deconstructing and reconstructing in its form, the element and essence of organic architecture represents nature, as well as leverages reused or repurposed materials throughout architectural design. From food to relationships, organic as a word, represents the acceptance or unfolding of something in its most pure and natural form. This concept is translated through architectural design with organic materials found in nature that incorporate different levels of smoothness, patterns and coarseness that bring texture and dimension into a space.
This can also lend itself to the organic shapes and sizes found in nature as part of the custom home Mississauga design build process as well. Incorporating a more organic architecture can work from both a structural perspective as well as décor. Here are some ways to incorporate this new sustainable custom home trend that feels holistic and in the raw.
Clay sculptures
Hand shaped ceramic crockery can give a modern-day monastery vibe that brings an earthly essence into a space. Natural and porous by design, stone and clay sculptures add incredible solidarity to a space. Au natural and bare finished, clay sculptures can come in shades of ivory, cool greys and muted taupe. Clay sculptures are both conversational and interesting to bring a sense of organic interior design into your custom home. For archways and areas of interest, smooth clay like shapes or structural features can draw on European coastal vibes or modern-day contemporary minimalism.
Bamboo
Bamboo is light and durable by natural design. The plant has cultural importance as its often used for construction in the Southeast Asian parts of the world. It’s both a renewable and an environmentally-friendly option to hardwood. Further, it’s practically incomparable to more man-made synthetic options due to its natural and original composition.
From bamboo flooring to bamboo ceiling materials, this natural material comes in cabinetry, countertops and décor. Bamboo is the mood, and it’s on the list for organic architecture in design. More than anything, it’s a great “green option” to incorporate into your custom Mississauga home, thanks to its durability. In fact, bamboo favorably compares in strength to some grades of steel and even the hardest of hardwoods.
As an additional benefit, bamboo doesn’t stain, cup or warp to excessive humidity or moisture, as many other hardwood options do. With its rapid regenerative properties, both construction firms and industrial architectural designers are embracing bamboo as a more highly-used material throughout the custom home building process.
Recycled Oak and Timber
Reclaimed oak and timber can be great materials to add organic interior design or used during the construction process by preserving it into the structure of the home. From doing complete home renovations or custom new builds in Mississauga, recycled oak and timber feels rustic and masculine for a feature wall or dark and broody for a basement bar. Further, recycled oak and timber is a fantastic organic material to incorporate into ceiling design, flooring, countertops or custom-made interior or exterior doors.
Natural wood has character, grain and beauty. Depending on the style for your custom Mississauga home, with its raw and organic texture, different shades and tones through stains and finishes can lend itself to unique organic architecture design. Leverage wood for your custom Mississauga home with exposed wood beam ceilings to add depth and dimension to a room. Frame doorways or other subdued home features in order to draw attention to it.
