concrete corner

I'm a little behind on the blog posts so I thought I'd do a little catch up work before I start on current events. Jori suggested the necessity of a concrete corner to clean up/emphasize the corner condition and also allow for signage opportunities. Using plaster models John and I looked at different ways to integrate the corner with the crossing of the beams that we were covering by pulling the beams through the corner. We also looked at possible sitting conditions that might occur with a person leaning against the wall. We came up with a solution that we thought was minimal but effective, but the design was not too well recieved. Here are some pics.


Of course how to incorporate signage was still an issue and still is, but we felt this could allow for a number of applications. We're still looking at ways to eliminate the holes but still prevent the corner from feeling tacked on.
