Spanish architecture firm Studio Andrew Trotter was founded in 2010 by founder Andrew Trotter. Mainly provide architectural, interior, product and related design consulting services. The studio hopes to present an exclusive and elegant style through the use of fine materials and design, and to intervene in life with appropriate design.
Andrew Trotter was born into an artistic family in the north of England. His family moved to Australia when he was young and he was admitted to Queensland College of Art to study interior design. After graduating from university, he moved back to London. However, in 2000, in order to follow Yohji Yamamoto, Andrew Trotter, through his own efforts and the influence of the environment, developed a strong interest in Barcelona, and chose to live there, starting his new career in art and design.
In 2010, Andrew Trotter founded Openhouse magazine in Barcelona, which he runs with partner Mari Luz Vidal, and converted his house into a contemporary photography gallery. They wanted to have "simplicity" at their core, but separate it from minimalism. For them, minimalism is strictly a very pure and restrained aesthetic, while simplicity is intrinsically warm and more humanistic.
The change of fashion trends around the world gave Andrew Trotter the opportunity to rethink his lifestyle and create space. He advocates that people should pay more attention to small and warm space, such as home, which is not only a container for rest and sleep, but also a place for personal spiritual feelings and family to enjoy life.
