1 Degree Architects · Ar. Mitali Raol
That one degree of difference.
Approach
Not more. Turned.
The work is not adding rooms, or specifying finer materials. It is turning the plan one degree so daylight arrives at the room that was in shadow. Same brief, same budget, same walls.
Material
Honest where you touch it.
Stone left as stone, brick left as brick, timber joined without hardware. What the client will look at every day, made of one thing rather than plated to look like it.
Light
Sideways instead of down.
Ceiling downlights make every room look identical after dark. A single clerestory, or a well-placed opening, gives a room its own hour. That is worth drawing for.
Joinery
Storage that is the wall.
Wardrobes recessed until they are the wall, kitchen counters that continue into a step, shelves that hold the whole flat together. When the furniture becomes architecture, the room becomes usable.
That one degree of difference.
Bring a plot.
The first conversation costs an hour and usually changes something. Bring a plot, a plan that is not working, or nothing but a budget and a rough idea.
