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.

I do quite a lot of preparations for Regie
inspections. There was an initial problem with the parquet floor, a small scuff
mark left behind by a bed´s leg. There´s no other possible way of fixing such a
small patch, so it´s as simple as getting the machines out and re-sanding and
varnishing it. Sounds simple, but you need to know your story as these machines
are extremely powerful. If you don´t have a steady rhythm, you´ll feel the
floor is not levelled and bumpy once finished. And then you´re again one step
behind again and a few pennies lighter to have it redone. Get it done properly;
there are no shortcuts with wooden floors!
