We are all somewhat damaged.
But I guess we really need to be broken for us to realize that we are only
human, that at times we need to re-examine our life, pick up our shattered
pieces and make them whole again.
This year, the Batch
2012 of Philippine School of Interior Design takes the challenge of designing
beautiful spaces for a specific sector in our society who experienced being
broken - the physically disabled, particularly the deaf, blind, paraplegic, and
the elderly.
I was totally impressed
with the aesthetically unique and socially-relevant designs as they come to
life in an ambiance of healing. They give one a sense of wholeness. And they
sort of live my dreams of having a space of my own someday. If someday will
come hehe.

hearing-impaired,

Abot
Kamay
This bedroom was
originally designed for former PBB housemate
Naprey Almario who had polio. I love spaces surrounded with photos
that remind of happy memories.

A living room designed
for a blind child, it has an apt and lovely quote
on the wall lifted from The Little Prince and written in Braille -
"What is essential is invisible to the eye."

Designed for couples,
specifically for a husband with low vision.

Diamond in the Rough
With the eye-catching
gramophone, this looks like a shining period-bedroom,
but actually this is originally designed for grannies and widows.

In this sunny, pocket
garden dining room, one will enjoy to eat, pray, love.
Disability is just all
in the mind. You will never be a handicap as long as you are loved and needed by
someone.

I'd have to go along with with you one this subject. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
