Although half way through i cant seem to get very motivated(probably because its such a long project i tend to think... oh i have plenty of time!) . So i think if i update on my blog every so often just so i can see and show my process almost like a written sketchbook!
Just a little background on the project first of all...
We need to re-model and develop a Victorian house for a book conservationist, Emma Fraser. She requires a work space and a studio within the large house, this needs to be 40m2 and somewhere within the house. There are all sorts of restrictions as books need to be kept in a constant low temperature, somewhere without direct sunlight and so on.
As well as a studio we have been asked to design living quarters for her! especially somewhere to relax and entertain her friends!
Emma has spent a lot of time travelling, throughout Europe, China and South Africa
where she studied and lived... As different cultures are oobviously quite interesting to her i decided to adopt the feeling of different traditions, and almost merge them together subtly... i started off looking at African design and styles (quite stereotypical objects and prints)... I found that a lot of dark ebony wood is used to create bowls and structures. I came across a lot of stereotypical thing as well such as bone, shells and rich colours.
