DURING MY FIRST SEMESTER OF MA IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE, I WORKED ON A REAL CLIENT PROJECT TO TRANSFORM AN UNUSED SPACE INTO A FUNCTIONAL CAFÉ. USING AUTOCAD, I CREATED PRECISE FLOOR PLANS, THEN BUILT A 3D MODEL IN SKETCHUP AND RENDERED IT IN ENSCAPE FOR REALISTIC VISUALIZATION THIS EXPERIENCE ENHANCED MY SKILLS IN SPATIAL PLANNING, DIGITAL MODELING, AND CLIENT COLLABORATION, PROVIDING VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO REAL-WORLD DESIGN CHALLENGES.

THE PORTSMOUTH PYRAMIDS CENTRE'S PRIME SEAFRONT LOCATION PROVIDES AN IDEAL SETTING FOR A BEACH-THEMED CAFÉ WITH AN OPEN TERRACE THE CAFÉ WILL FEATURE A PASTEL AND RAW COLOR PALETTE TO CREATE A RELAXED, COASTAL AMBIANCE. STRATEGIC SPATIAL PLANNING WILL ENSURE THE CAFÉ IS DISTINCT FROM OTHER AREAS, REDUCING POTENTIAL DISRUPTIONS AND ENHANCING THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

SOUNDPROOFING MEASURES WILL MAINTAIN A SERENE ENVIRONMENT BY MINIMIZING NOISE FROM ADJACENT ACTIVITIES. THIS THOUGHTFUL DESIGN APPROACH WILL PREVENT CHAOS DURING EMERGENCIES AND PROVIDE A TRANQUIL, ENJOYABLE SPACE FOR PATRONS

FULL-HEIGHT WOODEN WARDROBES AND OPEN SHELVING PROVIDE AMPLE STORAGE, WHILE POLISHED GRANITE FLOORING ADDS ELEGANCE AND DURABILITY

RESIDENCIAL DESIGN | ACCESSIBLE RESTROOM

THIS PROJECT INVOLVED DESIGNING A BATHROOM FOR AN ELDERLY RETIRED COUPLE RENOVATING THEIR 1890S HERITAGE HOME.
