The day before my last I visited the site of my first project.
The WW Gallery.
I took a generic loft unit and made a private gallery.
The main feature is a series of four-meter-wide sliding panels for his overflowing art collection, four in a 3.2-meter-tall cabinet and another four in a floor-to-ceiling partition. The panels subdivide the shoebox-shaped loft into square “stages,” with the last section serving as an office space.
I was surprised at how thick the frames had to be—the “panels” are really walls suspended along a ceiling track.
This is the first project I’ve taken from start to almost-finish, and nothing’s like seeing my delirious lines made real. It’s the kind of hard fix architects need regularly to stay [relatively] sane.
But, the project still has a ways to go.
ZOMG! posting in a sticky!
