We have a human urge for freedom. We strive to be liberated and fly free.
But the bureaucratic, highly regulated world we live in distances us from our natural impulse. As architects, engineers and designers, we face the suffocating limitations of procedures, standards, methods and approvals daily.
How then can we realise our intrinsic urge for liberation at home? Our mission to be surrounded by happiness when we’re off the clock is accomplished through the right design.
In Borgo Franc, we channelled our energies into creating a home for the person seeking liberation from the restrictions of society.
Borgo Franc is an alter-ego. However, rather than an escape from humanity or reality, it is actually a return to it. Throughout its architectural embrace, Borgo Franc takes us back to what it really means to be human. After a long day at work, its clean lines, striking lighting and a conversation-triggering layout awaken in us a willingness to grab hold of life rather than run from it.
