~ Port Folio of ‘Carpe Diem Design’ ~

This particular page is a compilation of all my work to date, starting in spring 2006 until now summer 2007, in just over a year ‘Carpe Diem Design’ has produced over 30 pieces, of which most are buildings either for retail in the ‘Carpe Diem Design’ (or *CDD~) shop on ‘Cosy Cove’ and some furniture like couches, coffee table, sideboard, frames, carpets, doors, windows.

The following show the cosiness of this village which boasts an Irish pub the ‘Dancing Dolphin’ for a quiet chat and a pint of beer or a tipple , next ‘Carpe Diem Design’ shop, then ‘Cosy Info’, then around the telehub of ‘Cosy Cove’ we have Syl Normandy’s shop and also Sudane Erato’s shop; go around the corner and a small Mediterranean style space has been reserved for a few quiet moments next to the entrance to ‘Cosy Mall’ where ‘Imagine Art’ has a small clothes shop and upstairs we have the *CDD~ offices.

‘Dancing Dolphin’ Irish pub

An Irish pub is a must in a small village as the place where people gather for a quiet chat, so after much thinking and already a name for the pub the ‘dancing dolphin’ as we have our dear dolphin diving on a regular basis in and out of the water of ‘Cosy Bay’, I went off with my camera and took pictures of 3 different pubs in Dublin city centre (Ireland) and used these photos for the textures and shape of the pub on Cosy.

Building the pub as a team…

Chateau Frontenac
