BRIEF:
A working couple have bought a very narrow burnt out house at 43A Edgware Road, Enmore. You have been asked to design the interior of their home. The clients are passionate about sustainable design and want an innovative, contemporary design that respects the integrity of the original building. You are to develop a concept from the building, its site and/or the needs, interests and personalities of the clients. The clients have diverse occupations. One is a book editor who will operate from the home via the computer and has a passion for Latin American music. The other is a landscape designer and loves the artwork of the Spanish artist Miro. The couple enjoy entertaining and require guest accommodation for one visiting couple. The main body of the house is in sound condition. The couple are aware that it will be a confined space. If at any time you are not sure you are on track consult the clients. They are sympathetic to suggestions which may deviate from the brief, as long as they can be justified.
