Making progress on the Cradle to Cradle house. When I get to this stage, usually I start to freak out a little bit and lose track of my normal design process. Where am I going with this? What was my original intention? Why am I making this way more complicated than they need to be? Exactly.
Here's a few notable images from my original "inspiration & concept" folder made the first day we got this project, approximately a month ago.
 |
| Open, industrial, and yet still connected with nature. |
 |
| Shadows were an original conceptual idea. I'm still working with how they play off each other and create graphics on walls. |
 |
| Same idea here: the shadows of the structure can, depending on the time of day, create patterns and graphics throughout the space. |
 |
| Nice cubby type sitting area, perfect for my courtyard. |
 |
| Indoor green wall, illuminated with skylights. Umm, hellooo? |
 |
| Just... Beautiful. I think this is in Japan... |
 |
| Was going to work with this pattern and make screens out of it, allowing the light and shadows to play off each other to create the graphics on the interior. |
 |
| This is just a summation of all the materials I want to use, basically. |
So what have we learned from revisiting these images? I want trees. I want shadows. I want shadow and light interactions. I want the outdoors to not feel almost like the indoors. And I especially want/wish we had a street tree tunnel of white trees like Japan.
All-in-all, it's coming together. More updates in a few days, when I can manage to get some interior views together. Sneak preview:

Project due in: 5 weeks.
