This
design caught my eye mainly because of the amazing ceiling mural this was such
a bold move it really pays off. This café is really feminine which is nicely
balanced with such muted colour palette.

This place
looks amazing I love the idea of mixing a water theme with the natural stone!
It almost looks like its underwater! What really adds to the effect are the
hundreds of metal leaves that float above the stone floor, refracting the light
making the area feel really relaxed. I love the large panels of glass giving
the water effect.
Detailing
Detailing
in interior design is a creative form of problem solving. While remaining
creative a designer must comply with construction reality. There are three
basic things that detailing does. Firstly, its a way of fitting pieces together
visually and physically. Secondly, detailing solves functional problems
allowing the interior space to fulfil
its specific needs. Thirdly basic
elements and concepts of design can be reinforced by little details that make
up the space. I was drawn to these pictures as the all show clearly its detail
and how it was constructed.

Free hand
architectural drawing
Free hand architectural drawings are used in the
early stages of the design process. They are used again for problem solving and
getting a feel for a space, being able to transfer the thoughts that are in the
designers mind and being able to see it in the space. It’s an experimental stage
and it goes through a lot of different options that are possible. It will also
give a rough idea of the problems that could occur and allow for changes to be
made.

Hand Rendered Drawings
Hand rendered drawings are a great
way to show the client an idea of how the design will look once completed.
Although the drawings are not photo realistic and may not give the real design
justice it does help the designer and the client a real feel for the space and
allows for some changes to be made before the work goes ahead.
