looking for home ideas and solutions to our tiny place
met a very good sales person at freedom
guy gave excellent recommendations on not to buy
the 4 (really good lookin) dining chairs in
the clearance section that were
heavily reduced because we might spend the rest of our
lives trying to find that damn dining table to match its
dark oak color and probably never find it!
moving on!
got home to find the melbourne weekly mag with section featuring
'TOP WINTER LOOKS 2007'
fanned open the cover to reveal a massive 2-page spread of ... 'WOW!'
took 2 seconds to realise the 2 pages connect and depicts a cellar
with a view of a swimming pool.
not bad at all to me.
geek husband enters the room
and I eagerly shared my 2-pg spread
his response...?
a disgusted expression with serious frown :
... 'that is so not nice! only a pervert would design it... invite girls to come and swim and the men will go down to the cellar to drink - while they watch... them swim in their bikini clad bodies...'
are we really that different? do we see the same thing and
think completely differently everytime? hmm... honestly
quite speechless and tad surprised by his analysis of the design.
perhaps coming from my background I'm blinded by design
but geek engineer husband sees something else...
as he left the room, my eye drifted from the photo to the tiny paragraph
beneath, curious as to who the designer was...(maybe a male?)

the designers Canny builders called this;
Stairway to Heaven
"Before we designed and built this Camberwell home, we learned
that the owners loved swimming and appreciated wine.
So we brought the two together to create something totally unique.
They think it's heaven."
from a design perspective, I'd say they have answered their brief.
(bit of 'double-meaning' with the heaven part... hahah)
but then again... i might have sorely overlooked the obvious... (?)
so you who is reading this... what do you see?

my first impression. nice idea! enjoying sips of wine while seeing people swimming in the bikinis. or nothing at all? it is all cool.
well, for me, you can see anything under wine control. hahaha..
seriously it is interesting combined ideas.
i think it's brilliant
i think the only thing that needs to be added into the room is a turntable and a hot DJ who'd play great tunes. hehehehe...
