And so it is, I find myself back in my true
spiritual home… where we speak mainly Polish and we eat mainly dust. Yes, indeed
folks, I am back on a building site.
This job, Project Loft Space, as it shall
now be known, is on behalf of a client. The challenges may vary to some degree
and whilst I don’t get to make the final decisions on every last detail, the
joy and delight I feel from knocking a place a part and piecing it back
together and as you know, there’s nothing I love more that spot of building
site chic.
Blessed with having a truly stunning shell
to work with, this site offers a wonderful example of less is more. Whilst my
personal taste is not minimal, I am a firm believer in working to suit the
needs of the space (and client obviously!!). Here very little is required in
terms of decoration to maximize the natural beauty.
The creative brief – minimal, industrial
and definitely not appearing designed is highly achievable. Light floods in through
the huge ornate windows, it bounces around the huge space and up to the high
ceilings. The naturally industrial features are easily accented to created
beautiful features in their own right.
But I am moving ahead of myself… what comes
before renovation? Operation destruction…..
