GRIFFINTOWN NURSERY PROJECT - Hibou Design & Co.

I recently consulted with a client who is pregnant with her first child for a nursery and playroom in their Griffintown townhouse. (I know – I was equally as shocked that there are townhouses in Griffintown.) What was fantastic about meeting this client in her newly renovated home was that I was able to understand her and her husband’s design aesthetic right away. They renovated and decorated their space carefully to their taste which gave me a great direction for the remaining two empty rooms. They like minimalist, modern pieces with simple black accents. Their space was bright and inviting and that was exaclty the feeling they wanted replicated in their nursery.

Here is where we are so far; I presented them with this moodboard that they completely went for with some minor modifications. The next step is shopping the individual pieces to make sure they like the quality and comfort of all the selections.

On a side note, I just re-installed the latest version of Sketchup. I took a big break from Sketchup when Google sold the program and I have to say, I missed it quite a bit. I don’t have a big demand from my clients for 3D perspectives but there is something very rewarding about building the space you designed and seeing your creation come together, without having to wait for the full install.

For those of you who are wondering, I use Sketchup for the 3D modeling, and Thea render to create the photo realistic rendering. They are two seperate softwares that work together to give me the finished drawings.
