Piece of Creative Work - Bombay Saphire

BOMBAY SAPHIRE CONCEPT

This picture is one of my creative work. For this creative work, i designed a store for Bombay Saphire liquor shop. Basically, this image was created by using google sketchup with vray and photoshop rendering. The strong marine lighting mood influence how a room feeks and reflect the lighting colours to the materials, in terms of its ilumination and design. This bright and strong marine lighting is upbeat and stimulating the room. 

Note: i cant upload the image with real size, because it is too big.

THE BOX

(Culver City, CA, USA, 2000)

The Box is an intervention, an addition which modifies the organization and structure of an existing warehouse on National Boulevard in Culver City. It has three conceptual parts; a cylindrical reception area located on the ground floor of the existing warehouse building, extending vertically to intersect the one-story, truss supported roof. The box rises out of an existing wooden shed which is now used for offices. The lower volume retained the original structure, providing a bright, open workspace for several people in a single company. The idea behind the project was to create an independent area for meeting without changing the layout of the original space. The solution is the metal box, accessed by internal stairway, which enjoys panoramic views of the city and valley.

The Functional Eye Benches I, II and III 

eye, aware, inquisitive

(Materials : Black Zimbabwe granite)

" Louise Bourgeois' functional Eye Benches I, II, III resemble giant observant eyes. The three sets of two benches, carved out of granite by Italian stonemasons, are distinguished from one another by variations in scale, form, and detailing, and by the size of the attached seats. The enlargement and displacement of the eye recall the perspectives of Surrealism, a source for these images. Visitors encounter the disembodied eyes, which seem to follow their every movement, and later discover that the enigmatic sculptural objects provide comfortable outdoor seating. "

Descending Light

lamp, scintillate, lavish

( Materials : glass crystals/stainless brass, electric lights)

" Descending Light is a perplexing object: a fallen chandelier, horizontal rather than vertical, collapsed but still in working order, majestic in its decadence, splendid and fragile, sensual and revolutionary red, revealing and mysterious, symbolic and impenetrable. "

Ear On Arm 

ear, hark, scrupulopus

" The EXTRA EAR is a soft prosthesis, constructed not out of hard materials and technologies, but out of soft tissue and flexible cartilage. This would not be simply a wearable prosthesis, but one constructed on the body using its skin and cartilage as a permanent addition. The surgical techniques for ear reconstruction have been developed, so this is a plausible project. "
