Inspired by a bookpress and patterns found in book binding. I focused on spaces that would allow a family to bond through interaction and activity. The main open space encompasses all of life’s daily tasks. A family would always be in the same vicinity, yet do to the vast, open area they would still retain their independent space. A library was added as an outlet to the client’s passion of writing and literature. Quiet, minimal spaces flank off of the library to allow a comfortable lounge area for reading and editing. Private spaces are kept with the same minimal aesthetic, yet bring in motifs an patterns of the public spaces. The wallpaper was custom made for the space and helps tie the main open space together, while at the same time defining certain areas. The wallpaper design was inspired by bookbinding and the folding and linking pages together. Repetition of circles is carried throughout the condo. Bachelard states that humans have an innate affection for round things. The circular aspects help make rooms intriguing, while at the same time remind the occupants of the importance of being embraced, which will help reinforce family ties. Nordic ash wood floors were used on the floors and walls. By carrying materials up planes if further binds the space together.
