Approach
Our collaborative studio approach achieves highly creative project specific solutions, in an efficient and effective manner. FMD engages individuals from across disciplines including architecture, lighting, art, interior design, graphic design and theatre.
Studio set-up and consistent principal involvement ensures the highest standards are set at all times during the design and construction process.
Method
The studio draws on its considerable experience and study of light & darkness, the ineffable, mysterious and rhythmical essence we all inhabit, in order to help sculpt and improve the environments within which our lives take place.
Still, open and mindful listening, deep and thorough contemplation, ideas/concepts, drawings & renders, illuminance studies, working details, light fixture specifications and precision mock-ups are some of the methods used in order to creatively, practically and professionally ensure that design & technical excellence is achieved for each project.
FMD offers offers services and solutions from feasibility study, through design and construction administration to final commissioning, for any project undertaken.
