In the early stages of the design the main focus was also to create a courtyard that would be the focus of the facility. It was designed to be open and inviting so that residents could come and go as they please. The idea of the tree was to create a feel of serenity and outdoors without actually being outdoors. The glass ceiling allows for a lot of natural light during the day. Residents can lounge and eat in the courtyard.

Wilderness pediatrics was inspired by nature. Animal families in their habitats was a great way to introduce nature to children in a way that they could understand it. The idea was to create a space that would be functional for the needs of the doctors and nurses but also enjoyable for the children. The layout of the office was inspired by animals in their habitats. The space includes two waiting areas, two restrooms, private doctors offices and exam rooms. There is also a reception area, nurses station and lab. Incorporating several different habitats allowed for variety to the aesthetics of the space.

WILDERNESS

Sustainable design complies with the principles of social, economic and ecological sustainability. Many of the products used in the space are economically friendly and energy efficient. The use of solatube lights is energy efficient along with sensors for the lights to preserve energy. Much of the materials and seating are LEED certified. renewable cork flooring, recycled materials and low VOC paint were also used. With inspiration in mind the pediatricians office will incorporate a family oriented vibe, with refreshing colors and materials. It will be comfortable for patients and staff and overall an interactive space to be in.

Research on human factors, codes, and lighting arecombined with product mix and multi-sensory aspects of design to influenceperceived value to the customer

Students successfully completing this course will be able to use Computer-Aided Design software to assist them in their three-dimensional project development. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the integration of computer technology into the design process and an introduction to BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology.

This senior level studio is a study of the materials and fabrication techniques used in the design and construction of interiors and how these details are communicated three-dimensionally and in construction documents. Content includes interior construction detailing of ceilings, walls, flooring, and millwork. Project solutions will consider the integration of building technology such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other relevant systems.

Sophistication and elegance are the main goals in creating a functional design for City Island. The client’s needs for the entry way are to have signage to represent the brand and ornamentation to make the exterior inviting, including space for valet and menu signage. By placing large navy blue awnings across the front entry windows it creates an inviting feel and gives a sense of the color palate used in the space. Unique metal window rails give a sense of elegance to the entry, the curved lines on the rails create a soft feel the exterior. A lit menu plaque will draw in customers. Putting a large sign above the doorway that will be visible to customers and display the branding nicely. Simple and inexpensive wall sconces will softly light the building without washing it out, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. A large pendant light in the vestibule along with some bench seating creates a comfortable waiting area. All these attributes together give a welcoming feel to City Island.

CITY ISLAND-GREEKTOWN

The green room is a retail space connected to City Island. The green room sells organic products including plates, cooking materials and spices. The space is subtle in its design and offers a variety of products to choose from. There is a area for private lessons on melaleuca to offer customers a chance to learn about the products. The space isn’t very large but is open with large built ins to display products. The back wall is the focal point of the space. Track lighting is placed throughout to highlight the space along with displays. Birch is carried into the green room to connect the two spaces. Branding was an important aspect to creating the green room. Using the color green help to keep the space warm and also represent the name well. The simple bag design reflects the simplicity of the shop.

CITY ISLAND-GREEKTOWN

The concept for Cube night club was to incorporate ideas from the artist Juan Gris and Cubism. Many of his paintings involved bold colors and shapes. Cubism was the first abstract art form and the most revolutionary art movement of the 20th century. Cube is a jazz club with a sophisticated feel and bright color palette. Along with the bright colors there are also plenty of earth tones to keep the balance of the space. The club is very open for with a lot of space for seating and socializing. The stage can be seen from several areas of the club including upstairs. The stage is the focal point with a beautiful stone wall that has shimmering blue accents that adds texture and style to the club.

The floor plan is laid out in a way that is functional and open. This plan was created in Auto-Cad and then brought into Revit. All the furniture was either created by hand or brought in from the Revit design center. As for the overall structure not much was changed. A second floor was added for more space. The first floor is dedicated to the large corner bar, dance floor and stage. There is also a VIP area that is closed off, offering another small bar and lounge seating. The second floor offers lounge seating and table seating, the balcony allows for people to view the dance floor and stage. The upstairs also is where the employee break room and administration offices are.

SHELL OF BUILDING

THE SHINY PLACE

Group project with Nicky Quartermaine Scott, Gina Sabatino

The idea for the Shiny place was to create a custom reception desk based on a photograph. Our knowledge in detailing allowed us to look at the photograph and apply our skills in creating the desk from scratch. The desk was a very basic design; it was rectangular with accent lighting underneath the front of the desk. Drawers were added to the back of the desk to give the receptionist more space and storage.

The desk was created in 3-D Auto-Cad. It was constructed from wood veneer, chrome plates were used for leg support and resin panel for the accent lighting to be seen through. There was a three inch base frame to support the desk as well as a tall counter and lower counter. In the back there was space for the reception to do work. As well as drawers for storage there were also three shelves for even more storage.

Internship is a monitored program for senior-level students to work part-time withinthe interior design industry. Field experience is an opportunity for students to applyand advance their knowledge, skills and professionalism under the supervision ofa qualfied mentor.

The Smith’s kitchen was in need of a total makeover, which included lighter cabinets to make the space look larger. Also more lighting to make the space more functional; this was achieved by using under cabinet cans and a new large light fixture to add style to the space. More counter space was added for cooking and also a built in pantry for storage was added as well. Stainless steel appliances were put in to give the kitchen a sleek and modern look. Tile flooring as well as a stone and glass backsplash give a fresh look to the space.

The design for this bedroom was to make the bedroom look large and spacious. The rich greens accompanied the warm woods used in the space. The render for the bedroom and the living room and the shell of the house were created in Google Sktech-up. The entire house was built to get a better idea of the overall design of the home. The two main rooms that were remodeled were the master bedroom and the living room. New furniture and colors were added to the space to enhance its natural beauty.

The two drawings on the right were hand rendered. They are the same rooms as the ones on the left but are drawn in a different view to help give an overall perspective of the space. The hand render gives an elegant feel to the rooms. The x-ray view of the house allows for an inside look as well as an overall view of the architecture of the home. The front elevation of the living room offers a look at the clean lines and furniture placement.

AFGHANISTAN

This is a original design based on the styles of Afghanistan furniture. There is not a lot of furniture seen in Afghanistan but most of what you do see is wooden and hand carved. The idea was to create a chest that would be functional for anyone. The chest could be used for decorative purposes or for storage. A lot of colors that are seen in the culture are bright reds and yellows. A mixture of contrasting woods are also often used in their design. The chest is just over three feet tall and two feet deep. The floral motif is a common design in Afghanistan along with the use of a mixture of colors.

LAOS

In Laos culture family is very important, especially when it comes to eating. Often times in Laos homes eating is usually done on the floor. That is why the design of a low table is very fitting to the culture. The table is made of wood and bamboo, which are the two most common materials used in Laos. The table is just over two feet tall and long at five feet wide to allow for a large family to gather at it. The curved legs add style to the simplicity of the table and the bamboo adds texture to the wood table.

DESIGN D’VISION

Two examples of work are the indoor outdoor display that showcased their summer fabrics. Also the Maya Romanoff wall covering display was created to help designer to see the product up close instead of just looking at it in a book. The designers could get a better feel for the product and overall the display helped it to sell. Overall my experience at Design d’vision was great. I learned a lot from all the ladies I worked with; I also got a lot of interaction with designers that frequented the showroom. I learned how much work goes into a showroom and how working with vendors is a vital role in the design world.

Design d’vision is located in the Arlington Design Center. It’s a showroom that Sue Hermann created 15 years ago. It’s there to help designers find vendor products for their clients. Design D’vision is mostly a residential showroom. Some of the tasks for an intern included, pulling and filing memos, hanging fabric samples placing order for fabric and furniture, ordering memos creating displays for the showroom answering phones, responding to designer emails.
