e're excited to showcase a stunning
villa in Żebbug on the cover of
Architecture and Design magazine.
Designed by the talented Martina Fenech
Adami from Studio Niche, this home
beautifully combines traditional Maltese
architecture with vibrant contemporary flair.
We speak to Fenech Adami about her
design philosophy. "It's crucial to consider
the environmental impact of our designs,"
she explains. "Thoughtful choices regarding
scale, materials, and the fundamental needs
of the space should drive every decision."
Her approach emphasises sustainability and
responsibility in modern architecture.
She voices her concerns about the industry.
"While we are evolving, the field has become
overrun with opportunists who sacrifice
quality for quick profit," she notes. This
trend has led to subpar developments that
neglect Malta's rich architectural heritage.
However, she remains optimistic, praising
professionals committed to preserving and
enhancing Maltese architecture.
In this issue, we celebrate designers like
Martina Fenech Adami, who champion
integrity, sustainability, and beauty in their
work. Their dedication ensures that Malta's
architectural legacy is not only preserved but
also enriched for future generations.
Here's to a summer filled with inspiration and
vibrant design!
