As part of the
house conversion a special pavement area overlooked by a window and seat
was designed. Conceived around the idea of paving as being like a facade
for the ground, expressing what is hidden beneath the design employed
themes of memory, layering, burial and labyrinths. Each of the 300 slabs
was individually hand cast using resin, brass inlay, ceramics, gold, concrete
and found objects.
The window is arranged around two seats, one facing the room the other
facing the garden. The seat back forms the windowsill. A pergola supported
by the window shelters the external seat. The window contains silk blinds,
wooden shutters and sliding folding windows allowing a multitude of possible
arrangements between inside and out. A tree has been planted outside the
window which will l form a canopy with the pergola over the seat. |
