After Presentation

After my presentation I made my geometric shapes into shelving and change the material of the corner seat.

I have chosen to make the corner seat out of wood but dyed black to ensure it fits in with the rest of the bench.

Decided the shelves still work with with odd shapes, this was what i was initially worried about.

Rendered Sketch Up Model

After adding all my materials to the kitchen I have chosen not to add artificial lights as my main focus will be on the colorful wall with triangles and controlled light coming in from sky lights. The colours on the triangles reflect the many colours Mady uses in her homely ritual of food preparation. I have used Formica as my bench material and a close up of the texture of a knife for my inside walls. The floor is wood to keep the kitchen from looking dull against the dark formica.

CryEngine

First look at SketchUp model in CryEngine. Happy that there is enough space for movement within the kitchen. Also shows the shadows and controlled light coming through the roof well.

Artificial Light Research

I am searching for artificial lights being reflected onto surfaces. Looking at having artificial lights shine onto kitchen wall to reflect this crop from my aesthetic gesture:

Light Coming Through Ceiling

This shows how the light will enter and be seen in the kitchen. Creating shadows in different areas as the sun moves in the sky.

 

Ceiling

I have incorporated crossing beams in my ceiling showing slicing. This will also effect how the natural light enters the room as I will have glass in the spaces between the beams acting as sun lights. This will make sure there is plenty of natural light entering the room, also adding drama to the room with geometric shapes controlling areas of sunlight. 

Looking at how the light enters the kitchen, adding a natural sense even with artificial lights.

Textures

Researching what textures/materials to use in the kitchen.

Stainless steel: For benches. Not normally associated with domestic kitchens, durable with and industrial edge.

Natural Stone: For floors or benches. Organic quality, but said to have durability qualities. 

Ceramic Tile: For floor. Although it looks nice and it's durable and stain resistant it is cold and hard, not wanting that sense in this kitchen. 

I have chosen:

Formica:
Used for the benches, It is a heat resistant, wipe-clean composite of materials. Commonly used in kitchens this material works well for my client. I have chosen a dark colour to not overpower the main colourful features in the kitchen and reflect the movement and development in color in my aesthetic gesture.

Triangle Wall feature:
I will be using colours from my aesthetic gesture to cover the triangles coming out from the wall, making this a main feature in the kitchen. This is showing the organization of my client as all the colours are in separate sets of triangles. I have used coloured lines to portray the knife cuts when preparing food.

Walls:
Testing out possible textures to add to kitchen wall, making it more than just an interior. Also looking at what type of look will work on the walls, lines reflecting a knife.

looking at these textures and wanting to use a material on my wall that reflects them. I have chosen a close up of a knife that shows lines that will portray cutting and slicing food with a knife.

Floor:

I have decided to use wood for my floors, keeping it light to make sure the room isn't dull.
