Domestic Ribbon
Comments

the concept of the concrete ribbon has to be one of the most innovative ideas Ive seen for a small space. I adore the minimalism but I wish there were some decorative objects.

The material choice is what gives this project life. I'm amased you did this solo. I'm tring to do the same thing, though it will not be as involved as your work, and I work for a deffense contractor instead of an architectual firm. This is really great, I like the sliding desk, it reminds me of the morphing countertop concep shown in newer Japanese lofts. Much success Kevin.

Fantastic Job from start to finish! Kevin, I applaud all of your hard work and sacrifice of time and comfort. It definitely shows and from the looks of things, has paid off for you! I really like the concrete ribbon concept of unifying the space while keeping things practical. I too like the use of Murphy beds in my design ideas and anything that serves a dual purpose, I'm all about it! Your use of light through the space and your sense of functionality is superb! Any decorative things you would've shown would've taken away from seeing the completed design. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you in the future!
