Oak leisure room

[Doctor]

I do quite a few kitchens, this is a recently completed second kitchen / leisure room, it's one of my favorites.

Pippy oak cabinets.

Quarter sawn oak veneer work on island with a character oak top

Really nice work - I like the mirror image wine coolers - i've done something similair for a customer with a pair of built under ovens. My client was a bit of a Jabba - guess your client has a bit of a ccasion5: problem..... :lol:

Cheers

No, I've not paid him a visit!

My photos are still up on his website despite him promising to remove them.

I have a few ideas in mind, though. Watch this space!

I'll take it as a compliment Brad, its all made by us, including the veneer work, we often farm out the veneer work but on this occasion by the time all the formers are made it's no hardship to bang a bit of veneer over the top.

Very nice work

I like the windows, floor, and the standard of workmanship, but the layout of the kitchen and lighting does nothing for me.

 

[Doctor]

Its not a kitchen, its a pool room, given the brief from the client it's spot on.
:roll:

I'll be sure to pass your comments on to the client

Perhaps you should make your mind up before using the rolleyes emoticon! :roll:

I was in fact trying to be being polite about the project! :roll:

The reason that it doesn't do anything for me, isn't in the quality of the work, its because the island unit is out of proportion to the width of the building. Also, by placing a single line of units along the rear with no return, the kitchen or whatever you want to call it, looks as though it has just been shoved up into the back of a room. In respect of the lighting, the only lights appear to be above and behind anyone that is going to be using the work surface at the rear, and if this is the case, then it's something that I consider to be of bad design. The whole layout makes no use of the natural available light from the side windows. :duno:

FORUM FIGHT!

 

[EddieJ]

FORUM FIGHT!

I doubt it.:shock:

But what's the point of posting up a project and then expecting and or accepting only positive replies. If someone can't take criticism about a project, then perhaps an Internet forum isn't the place for them! :-k

How can you make these judgements without seeing the whole room layout and what the room is intended for? Do you know where all the french windows are, do you know what the brief for the room was, do you know how the room is to be used.


Or have I upset you for some reason, last month you publicly slated my workshop now you seem to know more about a room you have never seen than I do.

The room is a swimming pool room, its an entertainment area, no cooking, just partying and entertainment. the other end of the room is TV lounge area, we did 4 designs for the room, the client chose this one, as mentioned previously I will pass on your comments and inform her that even though you haven't seen the room you believe she has made an error.

agreed I despise criticism of my work, as I think i'm bloody wonderful :lol: :lol: I do get the feeling that you are just picking on me for some reason.

Is it because mines bigger than yours? :lol:

 

[BradNaylor]

Is it because mines bigger than yours?

Workshop, wallet, knob, or head?

:lol:

Seriously, I'm with Bob here.

Ultimately, you do what the client wants. If Bob's client is happy, and I am sure she is delighted, then the project is a success.

To criticise unfavourably the end result is a reflection on the client's taste, rather than the maker's.

Cheers

Nice work. The lighting seems fine and the layout works for me.
Thats a nice camera you have there, do you take your own photos?

 

[Doctor]

Thanks guys,
In all honesty I can take most criticism, and have taken plenty in the past, I know I over react to it but come on i'm an artiste :lol: but it annoys me when criticised when the function of the room is unknown and the size and layout of the room is unknown. Therefore criticism is based on speculation rather than fact.
I can look at Eddies framed buildings and say I don't like the 2 rooms being the same size, I would have had one small and one big, but how do I know what the brief was.

The camera is an SLR nikon, these have not been photo shopped yet.
