Ensuring optimal functionality is at the heart of excellent design

Mad About Design excels in the realm of modern residential design, expansions, and refurbishments, holding design brilliance and unwavering professionalism as their chief goals.

The firm embraces a distinctive design methodology that is customised to meet the desires and expectations of their clientele.

The ambition of Mad About Design is to conceive structures that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and finely crafted, fostering engaging environments for living, working, and leisure activities. Ultimately, they seek to uplift the overall architectural ambience.

Brian Mulvey shared, “I embarked on my architecture journey in 2001 and have served at various architectural agencies, handling projects of diverse scales before establishing my own venture.

The field of architecture has evolved considerably over the recent years, with homeowners becoming increasingly cognisant of the options available to them.

I’ve noticed that when clients are bold in their initial visions, the outcomes are generally more satisfying.”

He further elaborated, “When I engage with a client, our initial consultation lasts about three hours, dedicated to understanding the project in depth.

Gathering comprehensive information from clients at this stage facilitates a more fruitful preliminary design sketch, based on their specifications.

This sketch then serves as a rich source for immediate feedback and insights.

Within this consultative period, clients gain a glimpse of what we can accomplish in a short time frame, before presenting them with two or three potential floor plans.

“Ensuring optimal functionality is at the heart of excellent design. If a residence doesn’t serve its functional purpose efficiently, I regard my effort as unsuccessful.

Therefore, considerable time is invested in meticulous floor planning for every room to guarantee perfection. Additionally, we align the home’s setup with the clients’ specific needs and projected timelines, be it a temporary residence or a permanent home.

Although I usually steer homeowners towards modern designs, I’m fully prepared to cater to preferences for more traditional styles,” Mr Mulvey concluded.
