Inspiring Structures.

Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto, Canada by Daniel Libeskind. Amazing use of geometry to create interesting interior and exterior spaces, both panelled and transparent. 

New meets Old. 

Speechless.

 Use of frames to create interesting lines within the structure. 

 Blend from internal to external, great use of shading devices and allowing for air flow. 

A creative office space, this is the kind of look I want to achieve with the office space for my art curator. 

 Gardening in small spaces. 

Santorini Grace Hotel. An outer world experience, captured by the unusually shaped balconies and blue water.  

 A great idea for outdoor stairs, may just borrow this idea for my design!

Cetatuia Loft by Ion Popusoi and Bogdan Breda

A great way of incorporating books and art into a living space. 

Art To Inspire Life.

Pen To Paper.

Some of the reasoning and ideas behind my progressing design....

Green Living.

Inside Out.

The Centre Gorges Pompidou has to be one of my favourite buildings and art galleries, worldwide. Not only is the design ingenious and revolutionary but the art that lies inside is just as dramatic and inspiring as its exterior. Positioned in the heart of the Marais, the true soul quarter of Paris, the museum designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, was the brainchild of President Georges Pompidou who wanted to create a space focused on modern and contemporary creation. 


The design is not only kooky but practical, as the reasoning behind its inside out exterior was to free up the internal space to allow for the artworks to resonate and thus be truly appreciated without any internal distractions. 

Food Imitating Art.

For my cafe space, not only do I envisage some of the produce be grown on the site, but art will also be exhibited within the cafe space as well as it looking onto the double height gallery space below, creating intrigue and desire for the unreachable gems that lie below. 


I have also come to the conclusion that my cafe, run by the artist in residence, will be inspired by and imitate the artworks that live within the space. 


Whilst it may seem quite ingenious, the idea was inspired by a very fashionable afternoon tea I experienced at The Berkeley Hotel in London, where the food imitated the latest fashion to hit the runway. It was entitled "Pret-A-Portea", a mock on the french saying 'Pret-A-Porter', meaning 'ready to wear'. Bon Apetit!
