Sir John Soane an architect from 1837 when he has established a well known name for himself. Lives just around the corner from Holborn station in central London. His house has been turned into a museum of collectors pieces which he has collected and exhibited in and around his home. The house itself was designed by him and the works inside also, it was created in the London run for students and artists to inspire & learn from.
I suppose that's exactly what it was. It was a very interesting take on a house which someone could live in but also exhibit in. His work is very detailed and creative a lot of stone work in his house which unique to his style. As having grown up with an architect as a father myself I have learnt a lot of things, Weirdly enough they all seem to have the same hand writing, as strange as that sounds. It would be interesting if my dad took our house into a museum for his work, not something i think I would like, as I like a home to be somewhere comfortable to relax in. If i was living with Sir John Soane I would always be at ease because i'm quite clumsy. It was an experience and something to learn from having all your work up and around you, knowing that its helping other people who have the same desire and passion as yourself.
This is a very brief inscription of my trip, but summed up it was grand, cluttered, sculptured and very Greek goddess feel to it.
