HOUSE RENEVATION
From this assignment we had a real renovation project for a improv client.
To capture the essence of our client, it was important to do a thorough research of him and imagine his daily routines, what kind of a person he was and ask questions to improve the renovation to their needs.
Gio Ponti was my client through out this project and I decided to imagine him in his older age, as he loved to have company, read books and own a welcoming house.

Italian born and raised loves to travel to new places, explore new cultures and history and take active part in the family.

As for zoning, I dwelled on Gio Ponti, imagining his daily routine and figuring out how this house would suit him and his needs.
I figured out that he is very social and really likes throwing together a dinner party, get together and talk about design and art.
Him and his wife have been longing for a separate nook that they could endeavour in their hobbies, such as reading, drawing, inviting people and spend time with family.
