Client's requests and Concept boards

After chatting to my client about the new design for her maisonette, I concluded the following requirements:

Kitchen

  • To have a combined cooker with oven and hob rather than an eye-level cooker to allow for maximum work surface possible.
  • To have a double oven instead of a single one so that she can predominantly use the top one when just cooking for herself and not have to bend down too far, but have the option of a second oven for when friends and family come to visit. 
  • To have a combined fridge freezer to allow for maximum storage space in the small kitchen.
  • To have the sink underneath the window, so she can look out over the courtyard.
  • To have wall cupboards to provide extra storage space.
  • To move the washing machine next to the door so that it is no longer a focal point of the kitchen when entering.

Bathroom 

  • To take out the bath and replace it with a shower.
  • To include a wall radiator to give extra heat and provide a place to hang towels.
  • To move the toilet and sink over a small amount away from the wall to add some extra room.
  • To have carpet instead of vinyl flooring.
  • To tile the walls from floor to ceiling.
  • To decorate the room with a colour scheme to match the curtains. 


Bedroom

  • To decorate the room with a colour scheme to match the bedcovers.
  • Use furniture from her previous home.


After looking at these requirements, I have produced some concept boards for each room being designed. I have looked at colour schemes and a style that is similar to the furnishings she is taking with her. 


Client: "I really like the tiles in the top right image and the bottom left image. I like the wooden units too but I don't want them to be too light in colour."



Client: I like the white units because they make the room feel really bright. However I don't like the tiles on the floor, I would prefer carpet as it is softer underfoot."



Client: "These rooms look very spacious and bright, but some of them are too white. I would want the colours to be a bit more cream."
