Before and After








Press Release : This project was selected to be featured in Designer Concept Oct '09 issue simply for the reason that it's a very daring play of colours!




I love this home! The lady owner loves flamboyant colours and this experimentation of colours really makes this home very different from the rest. The pictures here show how exciting new colours can totally transform a tired looking second-hand condo.


The MASTER BEDROOM


This ardent diver loves to bring the colour of the big blue ocean into her bedroom. She asked to have an open bathroom by removing the door and removed the tired bathtub to be replaced with a shower.

















The LIVING HALL

The available wall space in the living area is for the owner's collection of books and memorabilia from her travels. As someone who is active and believes in nurturing the mind through reading during quiet time, she does not own a tv set so there is no need for a tv cabinet.











The KITCHEN

The owner loves brightness so we took out the kitchen door and replaced it with aluminium louvre door with wider gaps to allow plenty of fresh air and light. She chose not to use a separate dining table but to turn the island unit into something multi-functional - for dining, work-area with plug point for a laptop and with some storage beneath. Why want to have a breakfast counter, a work table and also a dining table when you can combine all and save premium space?








The GUEST BATHROOM


She removed the bathroom door to be replaced with frosted glass sliding to allow natural brightness in. For those who are hesitating…it's okay to have frosted glass as toilet door, no one can see inside.






The HOBBY AREA

A diver as well as a hobby photographer, she turned both walkways to the MBR and the other rooms into a display area for her photos.

Launched in Milan 2005, this is THE perfect bookcase for those who like to have clean, sculptural library systems. Shelves at various standard heights fit into the backs through concealed dovetail slots; appearing fitted they happily stand alone. The Random Shelves have a lasting appeal that looks as if they have been made to measure. Create your own sculpture with the colours and objets d’art that you place within. Whether yellow or green is your current theme you can tailor the feel to suit your pleasure. We LOVE the Random shelves when placed side by side to create a whole wall of sculptural shelving. A complementary backdrop for classic and minimal modern spaces alike.

Through the Artists Eyes





Irene Suchocki is a self-taught freelance photographer. She was born in Toronto, but moved to Montreal in 2001, and will be forever grateful to her high school French teacher.

Irene experiments with different styles and techniques, both in-camera and in her digital darkroom. Faithfully capturing a scene is less important than finding that little bit of mystery, evoking a certain mood, or telling a story. Irene creates little poems for the eyes through her explorations of the ethereal, the surreal, the whimsical, the mysterious, and the beautiful.

Her work has appeared on numerous book covers, on television, and has been exhibited at the Sundance Film Festival. Her photographic prints have found their way into private homes around the world.
