As my client and I entered the design stage of his project some rather solid ideas began to emerge. After our most recent consult 2 main thought trains have came into being. The first idea was to create a building as if it were once a church of monastery, my client got this idea during a squash game with his friend Stewart who was describing his recently purchased and renovated 17th century French chapel. The detailed description he received inspired to think of what it would feel like to own a place like that of his friends. So he asked me to base one of my design concepts on churches.
The second idea was assisted slightly from my part. When I called him to discuss an idea he informed me that he was in London on a potential angel sighting. As it happened his timing and location was perfect for a suggestion I had. I told him to go and have a visit the Tate modern and Battersea power station. Due to the fact that I was thinking of potentially designing his residence in that style. Having a home like that would both provide ample room for his equipment and room for quests to move around in.
Both the church and factory have an air of grandeur and power to them. The vast difference is that one is of religion and the other industrialism.
