final interior for church renovation

these images are the proposed designs i done for Simon Gregory (church renovation located at cockfield) the idea was to create the heart of the house around the kitchen,dinning area and rear garden. a hidden utility room would be located behind one on the kitchen cupboards this was to reduce clutter. also the client request an area for a studio,this is located beside the garden accessed through a walnut door just off to the left of the bi-folding doors.the materials mainly used are walnut, ebony, white marble. this is to create a traditional kitchen into a more modern sophisticated look.

kirky thea development


Preview of a design for my current project (Church restoration)



This features the master bedroom. Its also is an example of the development of learning kirky thea.Creating the correct lighting is the vital key.I have been able to pick up some great techniques whilst working on my placement.







Grand Designs 2011


recently I visited the 2011 Grand Design show.It was a fantastic day out and also to be amongst many design exhibitions. Whilst I was there I visited a seminar by Kevin McCloud, he was talking about his development company called Hab (Happy,Architecture,Beauty) and the direction they wanted to head being a sustainable housing area. following this was the design awards for the most innovative design. Flux, a contemporary chair that could be made within 5 seconds and folded back up. The light product can be placed in any environment and yet retain its stylish looks.The chairs themselves were very comfortable unexpected whilst looking at them in the image above.

My changing thoughts


















while recently starting my placement with George Bond it has completely changed the way I view interior design now. A stereo typical design for me would have been the minimal look,but within two weeks I know think not only about what theme I want but also furnishing and textures to be used i.e wall paper, sofa fabrics. I have selected a few images that I will be incoporating in my current project. This is how I view and now perceive what interior design should be like and not a stark look.
