My Own Design Project

A while ago I wrote about my new place that is still under construction. A lot of you asked if I would share the process I plan to go through as I tackle my own design project. I thought it would be fun to share photos through out the various phases, and who knows, I may need a second opinion.

Because the building is being converted under historical preservation guidelines, it will take longer than usual to finish. The builder is projecting a mid-summer move in. Here are some photos in its current stage.

The building was built in 1927 and is located on Hollywood Boulevard. It was the original Broadway Department Store which was infamous for introducing slacks for women (quite controversial at the time). It also appeared in the Charlie Chaplin epic Modern Times. I outlined my unit which faces the corner of Hollywood and Vine.

The view out of the Living room - the Hollywood sign is on the hill in the distance with the famous Capital Records building in the foreground.

As you can see, it still has a long way to go. I will be sharing ideas and various design challenges along with photos over the next 6 months, so keep checking back.
