Foster + partners’ tips to elevating personal spaces
The bedroom: arguably the most important spaces in a home—where one attains respite after a long day at work and where one can unapologetically block out the noise from the rest of the world.
The truly “perfect” bedroom is one well-utilized and comfortable enough to host days of lying in bed watching movies on your favorite streaming service. Foster + Partners recommends taking note of habitual actions prior to imposing a personal style in your bedroom at The Estate Makati.
Since the bedroom is a private and personal space, a lot of attention is paid to making it into an expression of one’s self—whether it be through decoration, or the lack thereof, focusing more on comfort and warmth. For Pritzker Award-winning British Firm, Foster + Partners, bigger is not necessarily better. “It is more important to measure the usability and comfort, the primacy of views, amount of daylight, adequate shading and privacy—all of which are fundamental aspects when it comes to the design of a bedroom,” says Roland Schnizer, senior architect at Foster + Partners.
Of Use and Comfort
While the internet is inundated with ideas for the “perfect bedroom”, one has to realize the truly “perfect” bedroom is one that is well-utilized and comfortable enough to host days of lying in bed watching movies on your favorite streaming service. In elevating the personal space, Foster + Partners recommends taking note of habitual actions prior to imposing a personal style: do you like to read in bed? Which side of the bed do you wake up in? What is your morning routine? The answers to questions like these inform the form your space will take.
