Marianella had a discussion last week with Yoakim about our fish tank design. She proposed the question of why we are having water in it if there are no live fish? This got us thinking about changing the design of the fish tank. We came up with the idea to have our tank wall-mounted and to eliminate water from the design. Having it wall mounted increases the elegance of the design.  The design will also have a curved front and curved edges to reinforce the elegance of the design. We will have the design as thin as possible so it can look sleek and appealing on the wall. The thickness of our real model depends on the thickness of the motor that will be secured on the top of the tank (either underneath the lid or sitting on top). If needed the motor may be able to sit next to the tank, however, it would be more appropriate on top so it can be directly above the fish in order to raise and lower them.

Tank design inspiration:



LOVE these designs especially the interconnecting one. However these are not all relative/possible for the design of our tank for this project.. They were sure fun to look at though!

Tank design progress development sketches:


The final sketch is the design that we went for, it keeps it simple however it is elegant and pleasant at the same time. This appeals to me/ the persona.
