Modern Contemporary Living Room by Tyler Engle Architects

Short Philosophy from Tyler Engle Architects Historically, ours is a western culture of contrasts and opposites. Instead, a broader more eastern perspective regarding design is, at its core, one of inclusion not either-or, but both-and. We seek this perspective because it serves as a catalyst for a more dynamic design product.

The design process of Tyler Engle Architects P.S. is both intuitive and rational. We rely on creative intuition that comes from experience and inspiration. This is balanced with a rational understanding of the tectonics of construction, which is the media of our art. Our signature is the depth of the process which we use to understand the parameters of each project, the invention of a responsive design and the rigorous attention to detail through the construction phase. Each project is informed by the client’s needs, desires and budget; the context of the particular site and region and the current culture. Thus, each project is rooted in its place, its inhabitants and its time. Our desire is to exceed client expectations with an architecture that continues to delight.

Watermark Tower Condominium is the project that combined two separate condominiums into one living space. During the combining both condos were reconfigured to suite best their owner. Thick walls were used to hide plumbing risers delineate the public living spaces from the more intimate master and guest suites. Combining what were bedrooms in separate units, the new living room occupies the full width of the building’s east bay enabling 180 degree city views. Brazilian cherry is the material that create the mood when somebody enters the new condominium. Details of blackened steel provide a tensile contrast to the solidity of the wood and plaster walls. The overall interior become quite luxury and modern without losing anything in comfort.
