We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Rosadela Serulle about their original and creative Residential Apartment design work. Rosadela Serulle is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original residential apartment works.
Rosadela Serulle ("RS") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Casa Udo Residential Apartment. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
RS : The main idea was to inspire peace. Design a home filled with details and elements that emit tranquility.
RS : My main focus when designing is the desire of my client. I want to transmit within my design, the feelings and the personality our clients have shown us. This is the way to create a true home, in which the owner feels tied to.
RS : Our future plans on this design is for it to become a point of reference for all of our clients, we truly feel that through design we can create anything. Beauty and commodity all in one.
RS : Casa Udo took a period of five weeks to design and quote from beginning to end.
RS : Our design concept was defined in every detail by us for our clients. We decided to go with this concept because our client wanted a modern feel that inspired peace. Therefore, we chose colors, textures and furnishings that all were in accordance with our concept.
RS : This interior design space is our own and we do not plan on leasing it to others.
RS : We are a design studio, therefore one of our specialties is residential design.
RS : In this case we were completely inspired by our first interview with our clients, we believe that the first conversations with our clients tell us what we need to know when designing their home.
RS : Our end client, which is the homeowner.
RS : This design is unique in its own as it holds a mixture of identities based on our clients' desires and our creativity.
RS : We always choose a name that even serves for inspiration and more over that can describe our design in one word. For this project we have chosen UDO, which means peace in Hindu.
RS : While working on this and every project in our studio, we use various tools, like; auto cad, vector works, 3d Design, Power Point and Excel for proforma planing.
RS : The most unique aspect of our design is the fluidity that is shown from area to area, every space flows like water in a river. There is an easy transition and usefulness to each space.
RS : Our collaborators are those who work on a day to day in the supervision of these designs, in this case, Arq Diana Rivas and Leandro Ramos worked with me.
RS : We chose to use, all LED lighting for this design, low consumption air conditioning and MDF paneling instead of wood to create warmth.
RS : Like in any other work, we faced challenges throughout, I am a very perfectionist designer and since our work speaks for us, i accepted nothing less out of my suppliers. We worked all the finishing with our own team of manufacturers, so they are well adjusted to our standards.
RS : We have submitted before to others, but this is the first time we have submitted to A design Award.
RS : There is always room for improvement, listening to my client is one of them, there were instances where my client preferred a variation of the overall concept, and we were able to adjust and deliver to their liking.
