It is easy to feel disheartened at this stage. There is so much that seems to go wrong. This week the weather conspired against us closing off the roof so we have placed our attention elsewhere. I had objected to the way a wall had been constructed and it has now been dismantled and is in the process of being rebuilt in the correct manner.
In the meantime, to whet your appetite here is one of the individual pieces of furniture exclusively designed for the house. It is being manufactured as we speak. This closet will be finished in white lacquer on the outside. Inside it will have a richly coloured pattern to contrast with the white outside. The voluptuous legs are all different, a little bit in the style of Jaime Hayon's Multileg Cabinet Showtime.
The idea of a white exterior hiding a richly coloured interior will be extended to other parts of the house. One of the doors in the house, a thick solid wooden door with a small window in the shape of a key hole will take you down a dark spiral staircase into a tiny "secret" room with a floor to ceiling library.
Since the theme of the house is subtly linked to the Inquisition and the Inquisitor's Palace (a stone's throw from the house), I wanted to create something where wealth of knowledge is hidden away from the disapproving eye of authority. In time I want to fashion other "secret" corners for inquisitive guests to discover.
Myself, I'm fascinated by boxes and other containers for this reason. Oh yes, as most of my women friends will no doubt tell you, also to never leave a handbag unattended in my presence. It's the fatal temptation as far as I'm concerned. It's there to be opened, unwrapped, revealed!
