P O R T F OL I O

A L L I S O N WA N KU M I am passionate about creating spaces that are healthy, functional, and beautiful. I believe the spaces we occupy should enhance our lives. We spend almost 90 percent of our time indoors which is why thoughtful interior design is so important. I have always found great joy in creativity, but as I have learned the multi-faceted design process, interior design has become my favorite creative outlet. I love to create for others. I strive to fully understand the perspective of those I am designing for. The beginning of a successful design must start with empathy and be carried out with intentionality.

It is with this desire to give others the most healthy, functional, and beautiful spaces possible that I am eager to begin my career as an interior designer.

STUDENT DORM DESIGN CHALLENGE Collaborating in a team of four students, design a complex of student dorms for a university campus. Gain knowledge of commercial building codes, construction techniques, and drafting practices by creating construction documents. Detailed and dimensioned floor plans, furniture plans, and 3D views should be included. My role in the team was to create preliminary interior space plans for each dorm and carry to completion the design of one dorm in Revit.

S U S TA I N A B L E DESIGN CHALLENGE Design a sustainable building that serves as a learning center for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The building’s design should be LEED Certified or higher.

The design should also accommodate the unique needs of those with ASD and provide a space that prepares them for independent living.

MEDIA Revit, Photoshop

COLOR PALETTE

CONCEPT STATEMENT Ascent will be a facility for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The space will encourage them to be moving forward steadily, on an ascent to empowerment. Bold yet calming blues, aquas, greens, and yellows will be incorporated throughout the facility. These colors are naturally calming and encouraging – two feelings on the forefront of everything accomplished here. A harmonious balance of shape, form, texture, and color will be achieved while taking in considerations of the ASD population. Upon entry, rounded shapes and forms encourage people to be moving forward freely. Smart windows, rainwater harvesting, and reclaimed wood make this building a sustainable structure. Simplicity and empowerment propel this building and its occupants into a healthier future.

Natural light cuts down on electricity costs, improves occupants’ moods, and can be controlled easily with window coverings.

COLOR PALETTE

CONCEPT STATEMENT The Haute Hanok uses wisps of inspiration from the traditional Korean home, the hanok. Old wooden trim and beams are combined with white walls, pastel accessories, and sleek elements to invoke a sense of sense of fresh traditionalism. Vaulted ceilings enhance the beauty of the exposed wooden beams that nod back to the respected style of Korean homes. Crisp white walls, furniture, and accessories lighten the space, inviting a younger generation into its presence. The Haute Hanok is a place where established design is refreshed and able to stand the test of time.

COLOR PALETTE

CONCEPT STATEMENT This orthodontic office will be a space where children, teens, and adults will build confidence and excitement for their future. It will help relieve anxieties, give a positive experience of dental care, and resolve physical, psychological, and social insecurities. Colors such as blue and green will be used thoughtfully to create a calming space. Rhythm and flow will be achieved through rounded architectural and design elements such as a circular reception desk. Natural light and outdoor views will enhance the patients’ abilities to relax. Harmony will be achieved by intentionally repeating colors, textures, and materials, creating a cohesive office.

INSPIRATION PHOTOS

TARGET GROUP Average age for treatment: 9-14 years. Children with malocclusion (misalignment of teeth) usually face psychological and social insecurities. At this age, treatment is most effective. Patients benefit both medically and psychologically from orthodontic treatment.

RESEARCH APPLICATION 1. Sterilization is easily accessed by all hygienists which creates a more efficient office.

2. Open-bay style treatment area allows for efficient patient intake and greater availability of resources.

3. Daylighting is energy-efficient when paired with adjustable window coverings. The natural views reduce anxiety.

4. Because patients are young, family often accompanies them.

Seating in the treatment area is provided.

PRINCIPLES & ELEMENTS A. Round elements such as this sterilization station, curved walls, and rounded light fixtures create rhythm and flow.

B. Light is most noticeably incorporated through the large, curved window wall. It lets in natural light that is calming for the patients.

T R A N S I T I O N H OU S E DESIGN CHALLENGE A house built in the late 19th century in Cape Girardeau, Missouri is being renovated. It is to serve as a temporary residence that bridges the gap between homelessness and permanent housing for men in the local area. The kitchen is the space of focus as it is for a kitchen and bath design course. Make a site visit to meet with the owner of the house and measure the existing space. Create mood boards, dimensioned floor plans, elevations, and three-dimensional perspectives.

MEDIA Revit, SketchUp

COLOR PALETTE

CONCEPT STATEMENT Grounded by rich wood tones, warm blues, and earthy greens, the transition house kitchen will be a space that is both functional and beautiful. The kitchen layout will have 3 focused areas: main cooking space, eating/working peninsula, and storage cabinetry with a coffee area. This layout will be the best use of the space and will facilitate the different activities that may need to take place at the same time by men of the residence. The color palette chosen will honor the historical style of the home while staying current to today’s design trends.

CLIENT PROFILE Liam and Olivia Taylor are a married couple in their mid 40s who recently relocated to a contemporary home in Boulder, Colorado, owing to Olivia’s promotion within the tech industry. Liam works as a geological technician and both commute into town for work. The Taylors did not have much time to find a house that met everything on their wishlist before the move, so they are looking to update their kitchen and bath to something more suitable to their styles.

Olivia likes a shabby-chic vibe, neutrals with pops of color and patterns, while Liam prefers mixed materials and favors function over style. Since moving to Colorado, they’ve become more interested in sustainable design and hope to incorporate that into their remodeling project. They both would like to have their kitchen and bath spaces be a blend of their tastes to create a design that they can settle into and enjoy for many years to come. Source: NKBA.com
