LOCATION Attenborough, Nature Reserve
Theme : Music, Guitars, Deconstructionism, Accessibility software : Rhino, Adobe Illustrator, Twin-Motion, Photoshop, Lightroom, Rayon
Driven by the concept of “living in your own instrument” . My home design uses Sky- Nang the 1969 Fender guitar as a muse for the shape, interior colour scheme and parts of the guitar as a basis of inspiration for the layout and plans of the home model, set in the location of Attenborough Nature Reserve. A home should be representitive of an owners personality andpassions fueled by the habits and personality, of it’s inhabitants. Thereby, through infusing elements of Kurt Colbains personal interviews and looking into the routines and muscian environments
Sky-Nang is reflective of the interconnection between music, musicians and the art of transforming my clients love for music into physicality.
