About

The following client was given for this project:

A 30-year-old female product designer who works with natural materials. She wants a home with an attached workshop.

She is an introverted and tactile person who enjoys a calm environment and the smell of wood and plants.

She cycles, reads, meditates, practices yoga and pilates, enjoys traveling, and owns a dog. She also regularly entertains her 2 best friends with dinner and drinks.

While she is currently single, she would like children in the future, so there must be space for children's bedrooms.
