INTERIOR DESIGN & SKETCHUP
MS FITZPATRICK
JOB INCLUDED: INTERIOR DESIGN, SPACE AWARENESS, KITCHEN DESIGN.
A LEAP OF FAITH IS NEEDED WHEN TRUSTING A DESIGNER TO DELIVER A SPACE THAT WILL SOON BECOME THE FOCAL POINT FOR THE FAMILY. THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS NOT JUST VIA PLANS, BUT BY CREATING VISUALS SO THAT CUSTOMERS CAN VISUALISE THE SPACE.
PLANS ARE VITAL TO THE BUILD ELEMENT, BUT THE CLIENT WANTS TO WOWED AND IN ORDER TO DO THIS THEY NEED TO SEE HOW THEY WOULD LIVE / MOVE IN THE NEW SPACE!
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE HERE WAS TO DESIGN A NEW 'IMPACTFUL' KITCHEN THAT MADE THE MOST OF A LARGE SINGLE HEIGHT EXTENSION, BUT THE SPACE WAS BUILT BEFORE ANY REAL CONSIDERATION HAD BEEN GIVEN TO THE BUILD (SOMETHING I WOULD ALWAYS ADVISE AGAINST), BUT IS QUITE COMMON. THE JOB OF THE DESIGNER IS TO ADVISE ON ANY CHANGES THAT MAY NEED TO HAPPEN TO THE BUILDING, BUT ULTIMATELY TO MAKE THE SPACE WORK.
YOU DON'T LIVE ON THE OUTSIDE OF A BUILDING, YOU LIVE ON THE INSIDE! MAKE SURE TO CONSIDER THE INTERNAL SPACE BEFORE THE BRICKS AND MORTAR.
