Grim Designs

Oh the potential!


With a leap of the imagination this could be transformed into a fabulous dwelling.

Manifesto For Life

Image
  I want to keep moving intuitively and freely without feeling self-conscious.  I want to live a long and healthy life, enriched by love and lots of children.  I want to be successful in my endeavours, valued for my kindness, intellect, work ethic and bravery.  I never want to be valued for my looks they are completely transient.  I want to love and embrace every chapter of my life and grow older without regret or dread.  I never want to fear death.  I want to touch, explore, and follow my instincts.  I want to ask so many questions and remember the answers.  I look forward to changing and evolving.

Creating Positive Spaces - Designing For Community

Image
Previously buildings were designed primarily to be functional and to serve the purpose of the business needs within; limited considerations were given to the overall aesthetics and how they may affect the workers and residents. Amenities within public buildings for example would be toilet facilities and possibly limited seating areas for example. However, as design technologies have evolved and awareness of the correlation between human well being and the environment that we frequent, now architectural design is far more sympathetic to our basic human needs.  There is a point where architects can over design and overly control our spaces for example pre-setting ambient temperatures or lighting using a generic algorithm to conclude what is needed. Although on the whole many designs now are incredibly successful it is also worth not loosing sight of the ability of us as individuals to make our own decisions depending upon our circumstances at any one given time. Many hotels are so hi...
