Design Through Inspiration with Joseph Campitelli

WE TOUR A BEAUTIFUL OPEN CONCEPT HOME BY AWARD WINNING AND CREATIVE ARCHITECT, JOSEPH CAMPITELLI.

CANADIAN HOME TRENDS CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE HOMEOWNERS?

JOSEPH CAMPITELLI The homeowners are a professional couple with two children and a dog, focused on enjoying time together with family and friends. The emphasis to construct a new home was to experience the process from start to finish as a family, as did the father who experienced the same process with his family as a child in the construction field.

CHT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE SPACE’S DESIGN AND LAYOUT?

JC The interior was designed as an open floor plan, placing walls only where necessary. The rooms play off of each other as a backdrop to where your eye moves through spaces.

CHT WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT IN THIS SPACE?

JC Picking out only one element in the space or building is difficult without looking at the home as a whole. It’s the consistency of a vision – starting from the street, to the front exterior, through the interior spaces, out to the rear yard and completion of the exterior elements which ties the vision together. The consistency of this vision as seen in the entire home is my favorite element.

CHT WHAT IS A COMMON MISTAKE PEOPLE MAKE WHEN DESIGNING A SPACE?

JC A common mistake people make is not spending the time to correctly plan a project and committing to the vision. This includes the time to select the right team including an architect, designer, builder and contractor. Without committing to an idea, constant changes occur which become a collection of incomplete ideas and costly charges. The right team should include those who do not rush nor undermine the design planning process, and are value driven which bring great results.

CHT WHERE DID YOU SAVE AND WHERE DID YOU SPLURGE?

JC Savings were found in the use of local suppliers and products manufactured of lower cost materials. Money was spent to install materials which brought a higher energy efficiency and an overall optimal operation of the home (I.e. In-floor hydronic heating, higher r-value wall/ roof insulation and windows, and internal elevator for complete access to floor spaces.).
