Famed Modern Architect Frank Lloyd Wright insisted that constraints historically have resulted in a flowering of the imagination: “The human race built most nobly when limitations were greatest and, therefore, when most was required of imagination in order to build at all.
David Bowie also believed in the fruitfulness of constraints.
Less is more, much much more.
When you have less you have to budget , think things through, plan spending carefully.
Your home may cost a lot to heat, but is never comfortable.
Maybe this impacts on your ability to buy groceries.
Maybe space is tight, curtailing you to live the way you wish.
When you do not have a huge space, you have to think, you have to get more bang for your buck.
Caravans are great at doing this, Japanese micro homes likewise.
Good designers do this everyday.
It is so much harder to reach for the stars...that is why the many don't.
When you can build, sell and move on, your conscience threshold is low.
Your commitment to long term effects is more or less non existent.
When carrying all the risk for the success over a longer term say ten years.
You have to do more, you have to be more than relevant now AND in ten years time or you won't have the values created that you had hoped for. YOU ARE INVESTED
You have to future proof the residents desire to live in your building, be part of the community and enjoy prosperous living.
IGNORE CONVENTIONAL APPROACHES
Focussing on the end game is a first step , to craft residences renting people will love, and keep loving to live out their lives in the many years to come.
You have have your skin in the game.
You have to work with no more than you have available to you.
You must make the little you have, better than it could be without you.
Make smiles out of your efforts.
Everyone wins.
