CBI showroom: design phase one


Our concept has changed and hopefully for the better. Heather and I looked at the idea of a hourglass (as suggested from a classmate). Instead of looking at the symbolic meaning of a hourglass we choose to use the form and the action as inspiration. We found the neck and the two bulbs of the hourglass very interesting and unique. We choose to layout the space in this manner by compressing the reception area using stairs and the bathroom and then representing the lower bulb through the showroom. We also enjoyed the linear quality of the sand as if falls from bulb to bulb and found that in a way the people or customers represent the sand.
