WoBinna accompanies Micki to her Drafting class for Architecture to make a presentation of the renovation they have just completed. They had both talked to their teachers, (WoBinna's Shop teacher and Micki's Drafting teacher) and were told the presentation would get them extra credit for their final year.

They explained in detail, the planning stages, lists made for tools, materials and money needed to complete the project. They also talked about what the client wanted and what was the most important to them, like green materials, energy efficient appliances, colours and style desired.

Both of them were excited to talk about their final work and enjoyed explaining all that they had accomplished.

WoBinna (also proud of her work): "...and this is a view standing in the hallway looking towards the back!"

Remember our last strip: A Home Reno: Inspired by Piet Mondrian, now a couple of comments about the artist and the idea of using art for inspiration.

Mondrian was a Dutch painter born in 1872. He was known in the early 1900's for his impressionistic or abstract paintings and best known for his works form - a form he evolved and which he termed Neo-Plasticism. The paintings have a field of white with thin vertical and horizontal black lines where some boxes are filled with primary colours.

Using art as a basis for your design ideas is a great inspirer. In this case introducing colours in a seemingly random pattern provides the WOW affect that is so desirable in design. Here at Wo-Built we are always looking for the little extra that will provide a dramatic aspect in a space. WoBinna has matched the spirit perfectly.

We are proponents of simplicity and flexibility in both interior design and for our home additions. The best spaces are the ones which speak for themselves without the use of elaborate finishes. Spaces become pieces of art.
