Comments on: Apartment in Bucharest by A.A.

Sometimes the visuals can be confusing/deceptive, especially when human figures are not included for proportional value. (I am not talking about the woman in red visual... this conjures up images of cheap car sales advertisements...) After noting all the 'lacks warmth' comments, I agree that the apartment looks too sterile and that the addition of furniture items with some textile variation would go a long way to creating the look of homely warmth. It lacks fluidity of fixtures that cause the eye to run along a room. The furnishings in the living room are too sparse and sporadic. It is much more appealing to the eye and practical to have these sound system and lighting items fitted for practicality to make space for furnishings that people 'live' on or in. I do love the floor finish, but once again, without a rug or timber inset used as a space definer, it seems very hospital-like. We must strive to distinguish between corporate/residential design by creating spaces that we can't wait to return home to in the evenings...

No men, pets, kids or another creature who make a mess is allowed! It is remarcable for creativity, though...the surfaces are different in textures, but indeed the closet above the toilet it is like...ouch! I imagine myself , 1.60m, trying to get something out of that closet! Or trying to really see myself in that mirror! What material is on the floor? Paint?

Nu stiu care este targetul acestui site, specialisti sau bagatori in seama ca mine, motiv pentru care as sugera sa insotiti articolele voastre de un context, cum scria cineva mai sus, istoric, urban, politic etc., ca sa poata intelege si altii ce anume urmariti sa evidentiati prin creatiile voastre. Eu stiu ca am citit doar lucruri bune despre Alex A. in presa romaneasca. Sunt de abia la primele articole despre voi, dar sunt curioasa daca exista si alte pareri. Pentru mine, neinitiatul in ale design-ului, albul acela perseverent, sugereaza "rece" si un spatiu futuristic, in care nu imi doresc sa traiesc. Felul in care v-ati expus lucrarea, justifica deplin toate comentariile malitioase. Alegeti-va grupul tinta caruia sa va adresati, si in functie de asta acordati si detaliile necesare pentru descrierea lucrarii. Singura intrebare care imi ramane este, cat timp, in Bucuresti, iti ia sa cureti toate aceste suprafete? Spor in toate! Design interior si arhitectura, nu ma pricep la ele, dar stiu ce imi place.
