Refurbishment updates

With all of the services prepared and ready, it is now a matter of rendering and finishing the shell. So, recently the floor and wall tiles have been laid down. In particular, the shower is looking great as it appears as its own small room within a larger room. We had a couple of issues with lining up the tiles on non-straight, non-90 degree walls but we came to a solution. Below you can see a plan showing the different choice of floor tiles for different rooms. The larger,living areas use the herringbone pattern and the narrow, corridor like spaces use the parallel plank arrangements.

Apart from rendering and finishing the shell, we have also been deciding upon the details and finishes of the furniture that is getting made for the flat. This has been an interesting process- rendered images have allowed us to see the general look of the furniture within the room but due to the size of it (wardrobe is 2.6m high or bed is 2.1) we have been deciding upon the finishes and materials by making full scale models of only its details.
