okidoki, we start off with our dear Hanover quay building.
Currently working on this project to give a new imaginary family of 6 a brand new home in Ireland.
We were given freedom to choose whatever vertical/ horizontal layout we'd prefer. I'm going to have only 5 apts spread over three levels to create a triple height space: reason for that being that I was given a huge Mark Rothko's canvas as one of my art/ furniture pieces and I' d really love to emphasis that and to make people coming in go Wooow! I also got a couple of Mackintosh chairs and a Prouve's side table. The overall style is very decadent and dark which I really love.
There was an issue with the sun orientation of the site. We were given a north point which we later discovered to be the wrong one. I had initially chosen the apts on the west side overlooking the canal and the theatre view, but now apparently that side is the actual south, which is great news. We honestly suspected that from the day we went there to have a look at the building. Me and a couple of friends (Hege's interior corner and KGB interiors, aka Hege and Karoline) arrived there around 1 pm when the sun was almost at its highest and the light was coming from what we thought being west, but it was actually south. Long story short, my project is now facing south. Yaaaay!
