An adult day program for people with developmental impairments is being renovated at CO-OP in North Dighton, Massachusetts. This was motivated by my cousin Joshua Lugo, who aspires to live a life independently. My design will have a village-inspired concept that is motivated by the community involvement and the quote “It takes a village”.

El Charro is a bar that is located within La Tela hotel located in Seaport, Boston. The concept of the hotel is inspired by the city of Boston’s diversity and many ways of celebrating different cultures and backgrounds. El Charro has a runway, dance floor, booth and bar seating.
The concept for my bar is inspired by the mariachi suit. I will be using the patterns, colors, and layers of the suit within my design.
•
The custom beverage display is designed to replicate the mariachi suit. The outer panels that have wall covering are supposed to resemble the coat. The black part that holds the beverages represent the inner shirt. The white triangles at the top represent the folds of the shirt. The middle, which is a mirror and has the logo represents the tie.
The booth furniture is a custom-made item. The booth’s shape is intended to evoke the pattern of mariachi outfits. The booths’ dimensions are designed to accommodate big parties comfortably. They are all facing in the same direction so that when events are hosted, guest can enjoy the entertainment. To make the booth ADA accessible as well as provide more seating, the ends have been rounded .

The Johnson family is planning a bathroom renovation. The customers are a hardworking family of four from Boston who like to take in the scenery. The space would serve as the Johnsons’ getaway from their hectic life. One of the mother’s hopes is to be able to prepare her daughter for her prom here.
The new design is inspired by sunsets. The inspiration for this idea came from the client’s love of views and their desire for cohesion in their house. The organic shapes, warm colors, and cohesiveness of the sunset will all be incorporated into my design.

The Johnson family is looking to renovate their kitchen, which they also consider as the heart of the home. The customers are a Boston-based family of four who enjoy scenic views and spending time together. The desire for a command center, a spot for the children to do their homework, and a specific location for grab-and-go items was highlighted.
The client’s admiration of views served as inspiration for the concept of the kitchen. Riding swan boats and taking in the city’s beauty is a popular activity for visitors to do in Boston. I will include the delicate element of the bird, its organic shape, and its colors into my design.

This Led Lighting Pendant is a large pendant that can be hung on the ceiling in any interior residential or hospitality space. It is made of different sizes of fabric that overlap each other. This will give the light fixture that unique cloud shape, but with structure.
Storms can have a negative effect on many people. It can stop many events, affect their mental and physical state, and is even a fear that some people face. I will be using the sunlight after the storm as my concept. The best, assuring thing that people look forward to is the sunshine after the storm. It is sometimes bright and causes rays through the clouds. I will be using this concept within my luminaire by having a unique, layered shape and have light peak out of the creases.
