Wall Partitioning 2

Another tricky temporary wall partition since it´s not anchored onto the floor. Why? Well it´s not always best to damage the flooring for obvious reasons! This partition is to get removed within a year, so hey, why not make use of the space you have and enjoy it! I totally agree with this client´s philosophy – in fact, I tend to repaint my place every year at least once, whether I have plans to relocate or not. Whether it´s 6 months, or 5 years, it makes your stay just a that little bit better, more comfortable and worthwhile. Perhaps, that´s the main difference between a home, and a place where we reside.
Enjoy the space where you spend most probably a third of your day!

I´d personally say that communication is definitely the highest on my list. The constant interaction makes all projects either a success or not. Brainstorming ideas are the best way for giving a client the options, possible complications and solutions, and for the builder/contractor to express his/her knowledge and experience. (It´s quite easy to pick up the amount of experience of any builder or decorator bringing forth a slight “hick up”, and that´s also the moment things come together if experienced - of course). The following was an execution of a perfect mind understanding.  Ideas we´re bouncing all over the show throughout the project :-) I´ve only got a few in between photos, but that gives you the perfect opportunity to go and have a look yourself, meet the friendly owner.

Drywalling

It´s upmost important to keep ahead of current techniques, especially if you´re a conscious tradesman. Being actively involved in my environment involves constant research, time and effort – but that dearly pays off with each and every project.
Plastering, however a delicate and well respected trade it may be, is rapidly being taken over by drywalling. Sure, it saves a lot of time & money, but also each space needs to be taken in mind as well.Like everything, pros and cons :-)

Wall Partitioning

The challenge with this following project was, that it had to be completely temporary, yet safe and sound. After carefully analysing the space, it was clear that the floor was sacred and thus I couldn´t anchor anything onto the floor. Since the ceiling surface was rather big, I decided not to anchor there neither.  When confronted with a situation like this, I generally think of the removal too, and try as much as possible to make things a bit better and easier for whoever will do it. Not anchoring onto both horizontal and vertical surfaces, make it clear that there´ll be different forces going into different directions, so it was important to come up with an indestructible and solid framework. Another complication was on the door´s framework. Once again I couldn´t anchor onto the floor. Doors are most likely one of the most used objects in any building and need to be 100% firm and square. There was only one week point that had me thinking night after night! Came up with an unimaginable design.
