Project Profile
Patrick Merry, Owner of Merry Cellars Winery
Considering the taste and business sensibility of both owners, design a wine bar and restaurant with shared office space in an existing commercial building.

Design Concept:The floor plan of Merry Forks Wine Bar & Grille is inspired by the swirling of wine before tasting. The floor plan unfolds in a circular pattern from the center focus of the restaurant; the bar, serving spirits and a wide variety of Merry cellars wines, and the performance stage, which hosts local and regional entertainment.
The client’s consumers are conservatively enlightened and come from educated, rural backgrounds. Pullman, WA is surrounded by farmland on rolling hills lending to the romantic notions of the working man. The restaurant needs to cater to a consumer who is functional yet attuned to the finer things in life.

Objective:Design a wine bar and grille on the first floor that incorporate both owners’ design and business sensibility. The proposal included a VIP area for special parties and clients and an office space on the second floor with general office amenities.
Project Requirements:Renovate a two-story building that currently operates as a bookstore into a restaurant and office space. Current architectural conditions such as, foundation, structure, and facade are to remain unchanged. Examine code requirements to ensure design fits within International Building Code (IBC) parameters. The restaurant requires additional restrooms and a focal staircase. The office space must be furnished with Steelcase furniture. Develop a complete set of construction documents.

Objective:Create an environment that facilitates an informative, experiential understanding of fishing culture and lifestyle from the individual fisherman to the Columbia River fisheries. Combine panels, researched and developed by Irene Martin of Skomakawa, WA, and artifacts from the gillnetter collection to allow visitors to associate panels with relevant material and guide them through wayfinding techniques in the undefined space.
Example of exhibit panels
Project Requirements:Project budget covered:Repair fixtures and update liners of built-in display units. Refurbish found cabinets and portable display walls. Reproduce artifacts related to canneries. Architectural conditions were to remain the same.
Project demands:Design and present exhibit floor plan to stakeholders. Coordinate various design aspects with interior design volunteers. Implementation and installation of exhibit. Supervise volunteers and department interns.

A young boy proudly displaying the salmon he caught. When a boy catches his first fish and kills his first animal, it is seen as a rite of passage. To celebrate, the tools and clothing which he wore at the time of fishing or hunting were given away as a symbol of gratitude.

Netting needles, like the one used in the hand of the man on the right, were used to mend and maintain nets which was an ongoing chore. Traditional nets were made with a plant called dog-bane; modern nets are made with linen, fishing line, or wire.

Process and presentation of South Corridor Wall
Process and presentation of North Corridor WallObjective:Create an informative, immersive exhibit through design and research collaboration. The design component of the exhibit was the development of life-size reproductions of glass slides accompanied by contextual and culturally derived graphics. The content portion of the exhibit came from collaboration with Nez Perce representatives and a researcher of the Cowlitz tribe. The story was to convey Native American day-to-day interactions, familial and cultural structures, and finally the struggle to save their way of life which is otherwise submerged and lost under the Celilo Bridge present day. This exhibit is to be a product of sharing the cultural context.
Available exhibition space was in a small portion of the museum and a corridor. Use of these spaces meant that the exhibit needed to be omni-directional allowing visitors to come and go from any direction and still understand the full meaning of the material.
Project Requirements:Project budget covered:Update liners of built-in display units. Architectural conditions were to remain the same. Enlargement and printing of images from archival glass slides. Design and printing of complementary graphic elements.
Project lead demands:Design and present exhibit wall layouts to stakeholders. Coordinate various design aspects with interior design volunteers. Implementation and installation of exhibit. Supervise volunteers and interns.

DESIGN CONCEPT
F-abric Clothing Line Colors
Freitag L.A. is a dynamic store for a shopping EXPERIENCE. During the day, clothing and bags are sold and PERSONALIZED with the custom F-word. After purchase, customers are treated to a Freitag photography session to increase brand AFFINITY and LOYALTY. At night, retail space is RECONTEXTUALIZED into a place that hosts artistic events, local concerts and private parties. Freitag is rebranded to be the next up-and-coming DESTINATION spot in downtown L.A.
Style contrast between the clothing line (F-abric) and the bags (Fundamentals and Reference)
DESIGN CHALLENGE 1:
DESIGN CHALLENGE 2:
The Fundamentals and Reference product lines are graphic, bold, and experimental. F-abric is a textured, more natural product line. The lines are stylistically different, but both share a similar color palette.
Swedish design is conscientious and well edited. The Los Angeles local community is unique, overt, and eccentric which tourism takes advantage of. To blend the styles, Freitag will need to be re-branded to adjust its commercial culture to the L.A. and American tourist lifestyle.
A lifestyle and design disconnect between the Swedish sensibility and Los Angeles overtness

The wall unit allows retail staff the freedom to redesign and reposition mannequins to display merchandise based on themes of movement. The mannequin is dressed, repositioned, and fastened to the wall in action poses. Six triangular pieces form the hexagon pod which have a magnetic backing that adhere to the metal wall. The hexagon pods fill in the space between the architectural frame and the mannequin. The completed product conveys the design concept of the f-abric product line submerged in the abstracted earth.

The modular units display the Fundamentals and Reference product lines on the central retail floor. Each unit has a varying number of boxes with glowing walls lit by LED lights. The ambient glow of the boxes emphasizes the feature of Freitag - the bags. The units are powered and fastened together by conduit running through a magnetic plate. They can also be moved freely or fixed in place by hidden, lockable wheels.

The rack allows the user to view and find carpet samples with ease. Each slot can store approximately 30 carpet squares (24” x 24”) or planks (18” x 36”) and up to 60 thin planks (9” x 36”). At any given time, the rack can store more than 180 carpet samples reducing the footprint of carpet storage in the materials library.
