Thanks for suggestions to date - perfect and ALL
will are added to Project Book (Draft 6 attached)
so all can view and appraise. Thanks, too,
Susanna for your very valid comments and
opinions, both on many previous occasions and in
your recent email and excellent references, all
of which I thought I'd already attached in the
first Draft as your preference for a
contemporary, neutral colours, elegant,
traditional (Chelsea?) interior. Not sure if
contemporary is quite the right word, unless, as
I think you mean, the same as many other blocks'
interiors both in the vicinity and indeed
word-wide! Contemporary to me is something like
the monstrosity of One Hyde Park almost opposite
Harvey Nicks which simply replaces brass lanterns
with gold chandeliers and is a perfect example of
modern, contemporary junk architecture for people
with a lot of class (money), and it's all low
(new)!
Yes, if you can arrange a meeting with everybody, I'll be there.
I have done as you suggested (at least on the
colour schemes) and have inserted a section for
Contemporary, Classic, Elegant preferences and
references - which also includes the relevant
Lighting preferences, in your case Brass
Lanterns, which is also the preference of Maria.
I'll do same for the bohemian chic real Chelsea
too - by the time I'm finished we'll have a Mitre
House flashing Neon Sign , a casino, a night club
in the basement, fee bar in the lift and
hopefully one of two hawkers selling Malaysian or
Thai titbits up the stairs - you'll love it and
people will be falling over themselves to move
out and we can get our friends in - once they
know there's a swimming pool on the roof...!
I think it useful to point out that we ALL will
have a choice, preference, ideas, concepts and
suggestions to make, a few of which are, as you
point out, of a less contemporary, traditional,
neutral look. That in no way infers a leaning
towards dustbin colours nor punk, I can assure
you, but simply to move away from the traditional
predictable and design something different, more
in keeping with the actual age and period
artefacts of Mitre House and how best to better
arrange it's sparse, austere, cold and rather
unattractive interior parts. Were Mitre House The
Sloane Club building, or indeed Nell Gwynne
