Axonometric drawing f a bathroom

This is an axonometric drawing of a bathroom.
The brief specified the use of glass, a large bath and large shower, bidet and W.C., double basins and enough storage.
I have chosen to add floor LED lights as an atmosperical lighting and for safety reason.
The scheme is blue-green, reminded water and enlighten by yellow (the sun).

Sitting room 3


The brief was to create a modern sitting room, comfortable and full of emptiness.

I chose a white background with white walls and furniture. The chimney breast is the focal point with a fancy and bright wall paper in off white tones. A big mirrors surrounded by LED lights is the focus.
To enlive the scheme, I chose a colourful beautiful fabric with butterflies for the blinds and cushions.
The flooring is a nice woolen carpet in off white colour.

Budget children's room

The brief was to create a children's room on budget.
The client wanted a feeling of space, simplicity and enjoyable by children.
I proposed a light green scheme, which create a calm atmosphere. Colours are light in order to have a feeling of space. The chimney breast is painted in a slightly darker colour to participate in building a focal point. The fire place is not located in the middle of the chimney breast, the right side being larger. I decided to introduce the shade of a tree and birds on this larger side to balance the chimney breast and create a focal point in the room.






Kitchen

The kitchen needed to be completely replaced, the flooring made even, the walls replastered and the whole house had to be rewired.

The kitchen/dining is an open plan room, and the client wanted to keep a clear separation between the kitchen and the sitting/dining area, so I have included a in-built table with two fancy light hanging over it to make the separation.
The scheme is light, with off-white cupboards and yellow walls. Under cupboard lighting are a good source of light for task lighting.
The cupboards were mounted to suit the client's height.










Dining/Sitting room area


Before and after photos of a dining/sitting room area.
We have inserted two in-built cupboards in the chimeny recess. The shelvings are lit with LED lights. The cold white of the LED lamps are perfect with the warm off white used in the scheme.
In the cupboard are hidden electrical plugs, so that it is possible to hide and plug electrical equipment including Hifi...
The scheme is light and sophisticated, using light natural colours.
A gas stove was inserted in the fire place, creating a focal point and a clean extra heating for the room. The mantel piece and the cupboard share the same details and colours.




Plan and furniture layout


When starting a project, a plan is necessary to work on the furniture layout.

Here is a plan of a mediteranean villa, with the furniture layout proposed. It has been coloured in, in order to show how the different colours chosen in the different scheme would wor together.

Concept board


A concept board is an efficient tool allowing the designer understand the client's project, and a way to show his/her understanding of it.

This concept board was done for a mediteranean villa, where authenticity and modernity were required by the client.

The board shows the colours that will be used in the scheme, using here the colours of the mediteranean cost, blue and green of the sky and the sea, brown colour of the sandy beaches...

Sitting room2


Sample board and perspective drawing for a sitting/living room.
The client wanted at the same time a authentic feel and modernity.
Authenticity is kept by using local crafted furniture and adding a wood burning stove in the fire place.
Modern equipment (including a mirror TV) are used to make this room the perfect place to meet with friends.

Sitting Room


------------------------



The client wanted to see how would the room look like when keeping the original cupboard and when removing it.

The client wanted to use a bold purple in the chimney recess, and the rest of the room had to be neutral.
With such a strong colour keeping the balance was important. On the picture with the original cupboard, this is achieved by using a strong colour for the curtains.
