The husband, an introverted sculptor, enjoys his privacy and living at his own pace. He works from home, designing steel moulds which are then filled with a caesorstone mixture. The range of colour, finishes and textures of caesorstone result in a combination of nature and technology and ultimately delivers a natural, exclusive form. Being able to create personal pattern-designed finishes produces a virtually endless design variety becoming inspiring for any well renowned artist.
Husbands Spacial Requirements: a simplified, flexible working area/ studio space with enough storage and south light entering in. His working area is to become a separation from sleeping and living. Secondly an area which can be used to exhibit his work seasonally.
The wife, an aspiring chef, works in a restaurant in the cultural hub of Port Elizabeth, Richmondhill.
Wife’s Spatial Requirements: Even though she does not work from home, the kitchen becomes her soul enhancing space. She enjoys entertaining and uses these opportunities to introduce prospective clients to her husbands work.
The primary function of this living unit becomes the sleeping space, where the two of them can re-coop, rejuvenate and revitalize after a days work.
The mass of th concrete becomes an element of which to be carved out of. The natural, smooth surface of the concrete becomes a limited yet interesting palette for the caesorstone to communicate with. Ceasorstone is used in hard and soft, massive and light, rough as well as smooth application. Cutting, layering and moulding creates exclusive forms and spaces.
