Pinning down precisely what type of projects Montreal-based Future Simple Studio does is difficult. The team makes architecture, of course, but it also has expertise in object design and branding. Founder and principal architect Christine Djerrahian says that she and her team are excited about taking on a wide-ranging scope of design work.
The aesthetic of the studio?s residential and commercial interior work embraces dark-toned materials. One might mistake these for minimal, sombre, or austere spaces, but for Djerrahian, the material palette makes them ?warm, cozy, calm, and intimate.? In contrast, the studio?s branding and communications projects are bright and powerful, with a hint of playfulness. Regardless of the type of work, Future Simple Studio can ?dream up a universe, and then communicate it digitally and physically,? says Djerrahian.
