RESIDENTIAL DESIGN FAMILY ROOM REMODEL

They are a recent couple who would like to make some design changes. They have requested that the new family room feels different from what a typical family room would. Comparing the previous design to this one, it was far more modern. Throughout the room there have been added custom pieces with white and black accents.

This remodel’s concept is light, neat, modern, and free of clutter.

Design Considerations: • Detailed drawings that convey to the contractor and client the design information.

• Customized design that adds storage and enhances the area.

• Constructing a wet bar following the clients’ requirements.

• Selecting sustainable materials with low VOC’s, Green Guard certified, and locally sourced.

• Placing only two chairs allows for the space to not feel like a normal living room.

To help the clients not feel like they are in a completely different place, a combination of modern and Victorian designs is used in the materials and furniture. Incorporating features into the kitchen and removing the bedroom to make room for the needed office and mud room. All trim and molding will be reused, and the current wood flooring will be kept and re-stained.

REBUILD DESIGN AIRBNB REMODEL This is a rebuild of an Airbnb in Washington. The clients have added a more contemporary touch to the area, making it updated for others to rent for getaways. The clients also want to invite family members to stay here with them.

COMMERCIAL DESIGN OFFICE REMODEL

Furniture

Commercial Design

Space Plan In order to provide the employees with some privacy from customers, the reception area had to be designed with an open layout that was not completely visible to the entire room. To ensure simple access for guests, the conference room was situated next to the reception area. Every private office has a window line view so that natural light can enter the workspace. Employee collaboration is made possible by the grouping of the workstations. We’ve built a focal wall by the workstations with an interactive screen so employers may exchange ideas. The areas that are easily accessible and used by every employee are located in the center area. This layout permits excellent circulation as well as a certain degree of separation between public and private spaces.

The organization was asked to renovate this office space. They are searching for a workable area where employees can work. While creating the layout, we took care to keep the public and private areas distinct while maintaining a sense of unity throughout.

Architectural Details: • Wood slats.

• Grid ceilings.

• Tray ceilings.

The Design: • The design approach creates a peaceful environment by utilizing natural materials and architectural details.

• We focused on functionality, zoning, and sustainability in the design of their business.

• Glass panel doors, custom cabinetry, and wood slats are a few notable architectural elements.
