Projects P3: Creative and Flexible Layout part 3
Fixing what ain’t broken
Finding the perfect layout often time requires a constant re-evaluation of the various requirements. We made significant progress during our previous layout session and we now have decent idea of what works well and what every one’s preferences are. This week we will concentrate on the question of cost, instead of creating options reflecting the various approaches towards finding an optimal layout base on functional requirements. We created two options, the first reflecting our base layout, and the second showing the various options that we felt might have an cost impact on the project.
Projects P3: the Fine art of Finding Fine Finishes
Finding inspiration in the most unlikely places, since …
We spent the past two weeks experimenting and refining our layout, although there are one and two areas where that process continues. This week we will focus on finding a theme that will define the character of our space design.
Projects: Day2 trouble in Brownstoneville!
Or the long and winding path to building your dream home!
So you have been talking and dreaming of this for years, after searching high and low through the New York real estate jungle and dealing with the tangle of loan requirements, regulations and bid wars, you manage to buy your dream home. You even manage to pull off a cute renovation project, perhaps a bit more costly and more troublesome then you would like, but you loved the results. You settle in happily and few years down the road.. well, there just a few things that needs some fine tuning. Only a few, really!
Projects: Creative and Flexible Layout part 2
The not quite sexy task of finding the right layouts.
We spend most of last week completing our space function outline as well as creating and reviewing the first iteration of our layout options. Now that we have a decent idea of the various functional requirements we are ready to dig a little deeper and provide a bit more definition on the various options.
Podcast #25 Design Face off: Bloomberg office vs Bastard Headquarters
Two radically different offices that are more similar than you might first thought.
EZarchitecture: Work, is the other face of our practice, similar to our approach with our home oriented post. We will use this opportunity to talk about some of our general thoughts regarding the design of corporate interior projects. But look for special features where we focus on specific aspects of commercial interior design such as lobbies in the future.
EZarchitecture Home: A house by the pool
A Home is not just a place to keep all your stuff!
Aside from our curious obsession about closets (curious indeed! link) as fine home designers we are often asked about our opinion and feelings about home design in general. We thought; what better way to illustrate our interests by highlighting some of our favorite home design? Since I have deep affinity to water, we’ll start by talking about a wonderful pool side home design by the architecture firm MCK Architects base out of Australia.
Podcast #23 Dream Closet Project: the Madmen Retro Closet
What’s old is new again, a retro closet to go with your retro wardrobe!
As a designer constantly on the lookout for ideas, some time you find your inspiration and some time the inspiration finds you! While visiting a friend we couldn’t help cute notice the cute retro flip clock he had on his desk, it was distinctly styled and refreshingly mechanical. Turns out that by chance he found a huge collection of flip clocks that someone tossed, and had pick them up and stash them in his closet.
How About Taking a Bath in Your Closet?
Taking a bath inside your closet has never been easier or more stylish!!
We are not saying that you should, and we’re not even sure if it is a good idea. But, in case if you have been pining for the chance to take a bath inside your closet. There’s a now a complete (and pretty well designed) solution to help you achieve your dream! The Bath Cabinet BadKast by Anna Van der Lei, a recent graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven. The inspiration for this project came from Anna’s dutch/finnish background and her childhood memories of the Finnish sauna rituals of bathing by a lake and surrounded by nature.
A Coat Hanger that is both familiar and completely different!
Ever hang a coat on back of a chair? Now you can do it in your closet also!
We are always on the lookout for things that we can easily add to our closet design that brings out lots of personality and character. Since we are working with a very limited amount of space, high light items that also serve a functional purpose is a huge plus. These ingenious hangers made out of used chair backs both bring a unique theme to your hanging area and serve a practical need. Although they are probably not the best for long term hanging of your delicate sweaters since they are sort of funky shaped but they would be great for areas of occasional use, like guest coat area.
