today consisted mostly of talking with people. met with the engineer this morning. came up with a new concrete detail regarding a grade beam that links the five eighteen foot caissons for the new deck foundation. talked with the owner a lot regarding other structural issues/details/unknowns, trying to figure things out. then talked with a demo contractor and coordinating with a framer; terrific.
did these renders for fun showing kitchen from entry and entry from kitchen. then two aerials; one of the kitchen/island and one of the desk space. these are just ideas, and will evolve. that green stuff is suppose to be a stained concrete [i'm working on the visualization]. know any good books/sites regarding concrete countertops? let me know...please.
Looks good...
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like the heights of the tall pantry cabinets are too short, same with the wall mounted cabinets. Material wise, I'd like to see the bar height counter as a solid wood. Maybe tone down the opaqueness of the people. Also, the abrupt change in floor material doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the design. Maybe look at how entry, desk, and kitchen can play into the floor material, pattern, scoring, material transitions, rugs...
