Kain Project

Design Concept The concept of this design is base off the culture of the company. They explain that “our services are somewhat traditional our delivery is truly progressive”. I took this idea and developed a design that is very modern in form but has a more traditional and warm feel the them by using warm and inviting materials and finishes while keeping furniture and spaces in simple clean lines. There is also a combination of large open spaces and closed offices and multi-use rooms to support a collaborative office environment.

Kitchen Project

Design ConceptTo make this kitchen work best for the client and her family I developed a space that would be safer for her family. Rachel and Michael Stewarts have a son that an autistic 10 year-old that needs a safer environment then their current kitchen. One way I did this was lowering the seating areas to avoid the use of tall stools as well as placing all of the more dangerous kitchen appliances behind the island. The mother also expressed concern over the child getting confused between homework area and dinner table because of his autistic personality. To solve this I added a benched dining area separate from the island as well as giving them different types of materials. Autistic kids have to have routine and like everything to have its own place, so by having these different spaces will make the space much less stressful for the child and parent alike.

Process•Autistic research•Construction documents in CAD•Full room development in Sketch-up

Jewelry Store

Design ConceptThe concept for Endless Jewelers is the concept that love is endless. To represent that the infinity sign is used to give the space a meaning and a flow. Curved jewelry casework will hold the bulk of the merchandise while more spotlight items will be showcased in columns allowing for a 360 degree view, just as you might view an item in a art gallery. Large ceiling features highlight the display cases with descending tubes of cut glass with colorful lights giving it a sparkle affect.

Studio Appartment

Design ConceptThe concept for this one bedroom studio is for a busy working couple. It is designed to have a full open space while still allowing for privacy. The style of the apartment is vary much modern. The space is laid out to use the minimal amount of doors giving it a very clean style. The color palate and material chosen have a clean look to them with soft but vibrate blues and greens. Simple mid-century modern furniture is used for a clean but lived in look.

Whaley House

Design ConceptThe design concept of the Whaley House, built in 1893, in Columbia, South Carolina will be restore the original Queen Anne style that is characteristic of its time period while also creating a productive working office space. The flow of the building will incorporate the private and collective work environment through private offices and adjustable meeting rooms while also keeping the natural layout of a typical house. To do this I laid it out so that the private offices were in the back of the house and the conversation areas were at the vary beginning connecting you to the conference rooms. Another design implication that I used to make this space really work is using compatible tables and seating that could be moved from room to room. The design of the space will incorporate the southern design of downtown Columbia and its influences.
