AN ANNEX!!

- What is an annex exactly?
**to attach, append, or add, esp. to something larger or more important.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/annex)


I decided to attach my clients' dwelling onto his warehouse, as he is the warehouseman...

Who wouldn't want to work at the comfort of his own home? As my client now is down in the slums, broke and in serious debt. This dwelling might and i believe would maybe be able to change his current saddened emotions into something that would drive him to carry on his late father's legacy...











Initial Ideas...

Illuminated walls lighting up at night... Beautiful unfinished red-ish brick walls... Minimalism... Roof gardens... Sky lights... The beauty of light through unforeseen openings...

All these thoughts came running through my mind as I wanted to create a dwelling that would accommodate my client Godfrey Heimrich, the warehouseman.

What an unfortunate man, Godfrey Heimrich the warehouseman

In a delusional state… Taking everything for granted… Losing all sign of faith and hope in his amber eyes… Just lying there, soulless and incomplete… Thinking of the what ifs’ and maybes”… Everything now seems so empty, so dark, and so surreal…

*At the scene of an accident* A young man crying his lungs out for help! “Somebody call an ambulance!!”

–An elderly man dies-

*Small house in Hermsdorf, Berlin* An elderly woman breaks down in tears, feeling tremendous heartache and unbearable sorrow. A young man weeps; in denial.


-An elderly woman faints-

*Pouring, gloomy Sunday morning in a court for a hearing* An old judge appears and states the misfortune of a young man… The young man whose father lost his life, his mother who’s lost her spirit and his father’s warehouse who is in debt. The judge states, “Godfrey Heimrich, you are to inherit the warehouse as you are the only offspring of the late Hartwig Heimrich, and therefore are liable for all the debts your late father owes… So I hereby announce you a warehouseman…”


-Seconds, Minutes, Hours, and Days Later-


*On a dusty timber floor in the attic of an old worn down warehouse* Godfrey Heimrich now a warehouseman… Just 20 of age… not knowing about the rejected detail warehouse, the debts that he now is in, the business that he is supposed to run… He does not know what to do… Lying there… All alone… Lying there in a delusional state… Taking everything for granted… Losing all sign of faith and hope in his amber eyes… Just lying there, soulless and incomplete… Thinking of the what ifs’ and maybes”… Everything now seems so empty, so dark, and so surreal…
