I had discovered interior designer Axel Vervoordt on Architectural Digest. The image below is the exact style of how the building will be made and designed for Edmund and C.S Lewis. The materials I will be using throughout the building will be wood. Also using rugs and thick curtains for a very traditional style.
For more precedent studies I found looking at C.S Lewis's Kilns House, very useful. This helped me understand C.S Lewis's style and gave me inspiration when creating a living space for him.
John Russell Pope was commissioned to turn the open courtyard of the Frick residence into an enclosed Garden Court, after his proposal. The courtyard was transformed into a garden with marble Ionic pillars, palm trees, plants, fountain inside a sunken pool, all housed under a glass arched roof. The twin Ionic pillars and the smooth symmetrical planting beds were to be Popes inspiration for his later work at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. References

These houses are fully functional with all the basic requirements of a comfortable home.
They can be used as holiday homes in remote places or can be used as a spare guest room in your garden. The can be places in the middle of busy cities or in rural areas. Compact living is all about making the best use of the small space you have. Organisation, design and creativity helps in maximising the small space. The use of mirrors and good lighting gives an illusion of larger space. Going of the idea of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and how opening a door can lead you into a different place/land. I was thinking, in the front of the building, having loads of cupboards/door leading into a different feature of the house, whether it be for storage or into a room. This can also be a reflection of both their personalities, how closed of they are. |
