Another weekend "Passed". The regular routine; drive down Saturday night, stay up late to try and absorb all the little things that have changed then try to sleep with all the excitement. This weeks visual change was the window bench. Robert and Paul, I think, questioned this silly idea of setting the one large window in the middle suite out enough to create a little spot to sit inside. My mind's eye could see it and knew it was a must. Now that it is done Robert and Paul seem to realize what we were after and the little chunk of extra space means so much when dealing with such a small suite.
Our motive on all 3 suites is quality of space not quantity. The world has enough large box houses covered in pastel stucco with measurements suited more to schools than families. Our idea of quality space is providing visual interest, warmth through natural colour, ergonomics and catering to those subconcious senses that know when a place is inviting. We are struggling more and more with motivating ourselves to leave on Sunday nights - I think we have, if nothing else, designed a place that makes us feel relaxed and inspired. 1 down - 2 more suites to go.
