Finally! I've settled with the final grills design. This is the photo I initially sent to Engineer William. It's a photo I got from the internet when I was googling for Window Grills Asian design.
I also sent him this set of designs so we'll have options.
Prior to that, we've drafted over a thousand layouts. Hmmm, that could be little exaggerated. What I meant is we had A LOT of draft revisions. Fortunately, our engineer (who is also my mom's second cousin) is the most patient person on earth, so he stick with me while I fumble on designs here and there. I know, I'm very fickle minded and I hate it. So, just to keep this memory, I want to show parade of designs that our engineer patiently measured and drafted, changed and drafted again.
The first set of Kirribilli design options. There's a huge space in the arc part, so we have to close it.
Then, some more options were presented to me to close that space in the arc. We were very concern about security because of the news that's going around the area.
And so, we thought that we'll go after that design...We're wrong. I saw this photo in the internet and liked it.
This is a colonial inspired window which I got when I saw a very beautiful house. I find that this design has a lot of grills and it will definitely block the view.
As of yesterday, Jan 12, I submitted the final design to engineer and stopped thinking about it. It was such a hard and gruelling happy process choosing the grill.
I have been wanting to have a modern look eversince, but in the middle of the design, I thought of classical look, and then shifted to modern look again. Here's the evolution of our window grills. Sometime during the design process, I thought of mixing between Riverina and Kirribilli design and the Japanese effect. This is a proof that I was confused even at the beginning.
