Forest House Lighting Design Project

Visualisation 1-Living Room/Dinning Area

Location map-Sweden

The Forest house is minimalistic with white clean walls. I kept it very simple to create a sophisticated look. What’s more, the view through the window adds dynamism into the space.In the bedroom there are four skylight windows above the bed. It allows the sun to wake the residents up and also, they are able to watch the stars before falling asleep. It’s going to create a romantic atmosphere. There are no chandeliers on the ceiling due to pitched roof. The halogens fill the space with subtle warm white light. The task lighting next to bed is stronger, which allows the couple to read or work on bed.

In the living room I have decided to create a double high ceiling to open the space up and allow as much natural light as possible. The height of the building allowed to choose wonderful long lamps with multiple small bulbs which creates a cosy atmosphere with warm and not too strong light. During the night it is also a perfect spot for residents to look at the stars from their own sofa with a fireplace adding even more warm reflections. There is task lighting situated on the ground, which allows owners to read a book. The light on the coffee table is diffused and delicate for watching movies with just a bit of light. Should the couple want to watch wonderful sunsets from their sofa, I decided to situate the house facing west.

Location map-Valencia,Spain

Our conceptual design was defined by a collaborative workflow which utilised empathetic approaches throughout the interior space. The conceptual principles of flow, movement and waves enabled the design choice of natural curvature to be implemented throughout the interior. Many of the interior space features rounded edges, walls, and products which enhance elements of safety and security. It was essential to highlight this collaborative design choice, as we wanted an individual to freely move throughout their own home without the need of assisted guidance. were inspired by nature in Spain.

The decision to implement various natural stones and marble was to create an opportunity for communication using temperature. Typically, a visually impaired individual would not interact with windows extensively, by having the project situated in Spain, natural sunlight would create a contrast in temperature on the surfaces of the materials chosen. Recycled and locally reclaimed native wood was implemented to consider environmental sustainability and create contrasting textures throughout the given interior.

Final Plan-Building (1:1000)[m]

A project which dreams of a sustainable future where mass-produced housing is available for all. Whilst providing numerous opportunities to give back to the local community and environment. The proposed concept design takes inspiration from the local bee population who struggles to find homes, similarly to the people in Berlin, with the prices of homes drastically increasing in recent years. The design is a buzzing social hive that allows connections to be made through shared garden spaces and rooftop parks. The project further aims to push design boundaries by innovatively making use of reclaimed, recycled and upcycled timber for the overall construction and build, truly focusing on the aspect of long-term living and sustainability.

Dream Kitchen Freelance Project

Visualisation 1-Kitchen First Design

Working on a dream modern kitchen design was valuable work experience. Communicating with the client was easy and it was a pleasure to work with her. The kitchen design was a challenging in that the client didn’t want to change the main layout but nevertheless wanted her kitchen to look completely transformed and unexpected. In the middle of our cooperation my client found her perfect mirror tiles. I wasn’t sure about her decision and called the tiles shop to discuss the pros and cons of that specific style. I was obliged to present my thoughts to the client but assured her that I would respect her decision. Part of the brief was to provide additional storage space and my solution was to incorporate a second level near ceiling height. The outcome was a successfully delivered design.

Location map-Edinburgh,Scotland

The major project concept is to design the first ski slope Reception floating on water with a ski center building located in Ski Shop Edinburgh’s Leith harbor, in the Newhaven Fishmarket specifically.Main DueEntrance to the global warming, the future of winter sports is threatened. Floating infrastructure protects the ski slope from the future rising sea levels. The design also addresses the lack of snow by creating a dry ski facility. During the second En Loge the idea of an ice cave was Ski Rental developed which then became the foundation of the Locker Room whole concept called ‘Frozen in time’. The Concept of the project is a visual representation of melting ice stopped in time. As a result, it highlights the importance of minimalizing the destructive effects of global warming.
