Erik Nicholas's Company Details
Burton Studio was founded in 1989 by principal William Burton. Distinguished by its collaborative skills, site planning and timeless design, the Studio's work is modern in tone while based on classic proportion and scale. The Studio considers the ritual of experiencing the built environment, with the goal of achieving a natural and pure relationship with a designed project and its surroundings.The methodology is simple. A custom exploration of the design opportunities with an organic execution of understated elegance. The Studio's goal is to discover a relaxed stability in man's inherent structured nature.Research is key to the process. Applying classically trained approaches and techniques, the communal studio workroom is a place for instruction, experimentation and collaboration. Within this environment the Studio explores the notions of purity, clarity, modernity and intimacy in every project. Inspiration originates from great works of design, literature and art, informing and motivating the designer's way of thinking.The main question the Studio asks is a simple one - what are the significant ingredients of a formative design and how are they creatively synthesized and brought to realization? The process results in the exceptional qualities unique to each Burton Studio project.
