An un-used storage room gets a makeover! It occupied valuable space which was changed into a workspace for students to finish their projects. Adding bright colors made the room look interesting and fun to work in.

JEREMIAH’S PROMISE INC HOUSE, SUNNYVALE. 

JEREMIAH’S PROMISE is a non‐profit organization dedicated to addressing the needs of youth who ‘age out’ of the foster care system at age 18, destined to become homeless and impoverished, and empowering them to become healthy, self‐sufficient, productive members of the community.

The organization recently purchased a home and cottage that needed considerable updating, additional storage, thoughtful space planning, and multi‐functional furnishings to meet practical needs while providing a true sense of home for the motivated young women and live‐in staff member to feel proud of and thrive in.

Well designed and thoughtful spaces are a foundation to a new life. When communities are healthy, all people can develop to their full potential. When children and young adults have healthy and stable environments and they thrive, the community thrives.

Timeless design is an art of consciously making design choices that support human life through the ages and all the fact that our spaces are not separate from ourselves but an integral part of our lives.

FIVE GOALS “A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside; inside, it is more often his nursery.” - nurturing him physically, psychologically and spiritually. Hence, to achieve this, the following five goals have been composed:

1. The house becomes a home when it not only shelter’s the body but comforts the soul through personalized spaces that work and function for your needs.

2. Incorporate Sustainability: Sustainability is an approach to building homes that conserves natural resources. The five principles of sustainable design are energy conservation, resource conservation, Indoor air quality, Water conservation and - which are incorporated as much as possible into the design.

3. Incorporate Universal design features. Universally designed spaces have features that are useable by more people and can be adjusted to meet individual needs.

4. Nature will be an element of the interior and a tool of creating timeless serenity. Views of the river and the landscape outside are important, thus bringing in the outdoors and feeling a connection with nature.

5. The combination of sustainability and universal design will result in an affordable environment. The use of locally made recyclable materials, energy saving solutions and pre-fabricated construction will provide the necessary economical savings.

CONCEPT: TRAVEL FOR GOOD

CONCEPT: ‘TRAVEL FOR GOOD’

“Travel for Good” is taking a responsible approach to tourism, ensuring and being aware of and taking steps to reduce the environmental impact of our journeys. Journeys not just all over the world but also thru an interior space. Not just good for the health, safety and welfare of the planet but also the people working in this space. Health = IAQ, day lighting, views – they have positive psychological effects Safety and welfare = Universal design/ accessible / safety from materials used / egress plan for people to exit safely. One should be travelling for good through the space. Every stop is like a destination with a slightly different mood.  

 A workplace must function as a high performance environment that seamlessly integrates architecture, furniture and technology through insightful planning.

Hand drafted floor-plan shows space planning along with furniture and material finishes.

“BEAU LIEU” – A WINE TASTING BAR

BEAULIEU VINEYARDS in Napa valley, California, wants to open an elegant and sophisticated wine tasting bar in the historic Great Hall in Osterley Park, Greater London.

The Great Hall at Osterley Park was designed by Robert Adam in 1767. Hence to carry forward the client’s vision of retaining the classical charm of the Great hall and brining in the spirit of Napa Valley; The inspiration for the color palette evolves from Napa valley itself with all the shades of green, gold and an earthy palette. The burgundy accent wall color is inspired from Beaulieu’s world famous Cabernet Sauvignon. Colors were an important part of the Robert Adam style and this is a fabulous way for incorporating the spirit of Napa. The furniture used will be by Robert Adam s.a the Georgian Chippendale Window Seat, Robert Adam, chair, made by Thomas Chippendale, and the Adam Pier Table.
