Interior Design with HOPE

Published February 28, 2013

Interior Design of Rehabilitation Center

We were asked from a customer why interior design of rehabilitation centers cannot be felt an HOPE. And we answered as follows.

Perhaps, we think the questioner was thinking in stereotypes that rehabilitation centers must be designed by “HOPE”. But, many rehabilitation centers are not designed with the concept of “HOPE” as the questioner think. In many cases, it has been designed with the concept of “Charity” and “Kindness”.

Therefore, the questioner does not feel “HOPE” from rehabilitation centers. In other words, the questioner is receiving feelings from the interior design sensitively.

Designer IYONA will design charity and kindness as part of the HOPE. And, IYONA will design about “HOPE”.

There are three thinking to design a “HOPE”.
1. Appeal to “HOPE” directly visually.
2. Induce spontaneous feelings to the users.
3. Design as the concept of “HOPE”.

Many rehabilitation centers have been designed as a concept of “HOPE”. But, Designer IYONA is pursuing 1 and 2 of above.

Interior Design takes up a lot of visual elements. However, Interior Design is not designed only by the visual elements. Interior Design that has been put feelings affects to the mind through the five senses of the users. It induces feelings by to resonate with users’ emotion casually.

That is, Interior Design is not only to design by the know-how and techniques preferentially. It is important to express by designer’s sensitivity and intention that the designer want to give.

And, Interior Design must be design to induce positive emotions as “HOPE” without users conscious. Designer is thinking about how to express for that.

Please see the next picture.

This photo is changed the direction of the hand-held bidet and written lines. You can find that the bracket of hand-held bidet is mounted with a large angle of inclined on the wall.

There is no special reason that the hand-held bidet mounted with an angle. Judging from these facts so far, this renovation contractor is not aware that they work for customers.

Why House Window is Dirty by Bird Droppings?

Published December 1, 2011

A window of the house does not become dirty usually by bird droppings because there are eaves above a window.

But why would that happen improbable. It happens because a renovation contractor makes high priority on the workability more than  the residents living. The result of that, the resident cannot always open the window to avoid dirty by bird droppings.

Lack of the knowledge or awareness of a renovation contractor make dirty something. Perhaps, such renovation contractors may say not to relate bird behaviour and renovation.

However, If a renovation contractor laid a pipe above a window with some reason, a window is always dirty with birds droppings by birds perching on the pipe.

The window frames and glass need not be dirty. Condition of a window is always dirty will give you a mental stress unconsciously. Unnatural condition is not good for you.

Anyway, if renovation contractors have just a little careful, the problem never happened.

Behaviours of birds is not responsible on a renovation contractor, but a renovation contractor who always cares about natural providence, make a comfortable home to live for you.

If your are looking for a renovation contractor that thinking your living,
you can find the house renovation service.

Peeling Paint on Plastic Downpipe

Published November 24, 2011

Peeling Paint on Plastic DownpipeThis photo is 2 months later after painted the downpipe. The paint surface is a clean state without dirt. However, the paint is peeling in only 2 months.

Perhaps, the renovation contractor will make an excuse that peeling is because of the low quality of the paint.

Really, Is the paint low-quality?

The paints have been used mainly Nippon Paint, Dulux and JOTUN in Malaysia. There are other paint manufacturers. Many construction and renovation contractor is using these paints.

These paint manufactures are investing huge cost and time to develop the paint. Since many years, the paint manufactures have developed the paint for various applications, has large expertise in the paint.

Why inexperienced renovation contractors compared to the paint manufactures can say bad quality of the paint?

If the renovation contractor is familiar with the paint, the renovation contractor should know problem before painting. If the renovation contractor is not aware of the problems before painting, renovation contractor knowledge is poor.

Even amateurs can paint, but high quality paint work requires thorough knowledge not only experience.

You must choose a renovation contractor and/or house painter carefully.
