Does anyone else think it's weird that the client requested "masculine?" Sure, we can understand not wanting, say, a pink office or something but why would that be their first concern?
On the other hand, we can't say Ondine nailed it. Granted, Wisit did all the preliminary work on this one and we all know how masculine she is. Still, we wouldn't call this "feminine" either. It's the eunuch of office design.
We kind of love that chair.
BUT STOP PUTTING THROWPILLOWS IN AN OFFICE, DESIGNERS!
It's weird!
Hate the shades but we tend to hate fabric shades anyway. Oh, and we kind of hate torchieres too, but again, that's just us.
We thought her idea for the light fixture sounded horrible, but y'know? It turned out kind of cool.
We just think she should have done a better job of drying out those bottles.
Andrea gets more and more defensive and depressed about her lack of experience and we thought she was going to be the bitch of the season but now we kind of feel sorry for her.
It's not bad. The blues are a bit overwhelming but she didn't pick the colors and besides, it fit the theme for a water recycling company.
She got a lot of praise from the judges for her furniture arrangement and we agree that she did a good job of maximizing the space, but the client wanted their desk by the window and if we had to work in this tunnel of an office, we would too.
They're shoved in a dark corner as far away from the natural light as possible.
THROW PILLOWS!!!!!
The judges didn't love this but we liked it.
Jesus, these are some depressing little offices.
We would have given the win to Nathan. He designed two great offices but only got credit for one. We love the color scheme and we love the shelves, which, in true "green" fashion were repurposed from the legs of the desk.
We're pretending not to see the throwpillows.
Of course, taking the legs off the desk left it looking like this. We can't say we love the saw horses.
The green judge loved the cardboard tube for the drapes and we have to say it's pretty clever but it borders on gimmicky.
The artwork was sharp too. This was the only office that looked like an office and not like some weird amalgam of office and living space.
And Nathan?
Keep wearing those tight jeans, baby.
