The founders of the design studio Geometrix Design, Michael and Helen Miroshkin, shared with minimalism the tips on the correct use of geometry in organizing space.
1. Use a dynamic planning principle
Unlike the static principle of planning, where the usual right angles “stop” the eye, which cannot turn 90 degrees, in a dynamic one, unfolded walls and beveled corners direct movement further. This is how the desire to move forward appears. This is the principle of dynamic planning.
Michael and Helen Miroshkin often use it in their projects. For example, if the apartment has a long hall, then they do not create right angles at the endpoint but turn the walls so that there is no feeling of a dead end.
Often more complex tasks arise: select separate additional zones that do not fit into the standard space. Then the walls are turned in such a way as to add space to an important room at the expense of less priority areas. This technique works great for zoning since direct planning does not always cope with complex tasks.
2. Consider geometry when designing furniture
Designers note that furniture should be harmonious with the layout. At the same time, it can take on the function of a color and/or light accent. This could be a completely mirrored wardrobe, which visually enlarges the space, a bright chair of an unusual shape that will attract the attention of guests, or a bar counter in the kitchen that can charge energy and a good mood at the end of the working day.
3. Choose an island for your kitchen
If space allows, Michael and Helen advise installing an island in the kitchen, which can combine the roles of dining zones and cooking zones. It’s better to take a closer look at trapezoid-shaped models: they are more functional.
4. Consider geometry when selecting finishing materials
Often geometry not only plays a self-sufficient role in the interior but also reveals the potential of materials. For example, in this project, it was on geometric panels that the potential of veneer was revealed: from different angles we see different shades of veins, creating an interesting play of color.
Another effect can be achieved when working with artificial stone.
