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 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.
Adobe Photoshop, and Autodesk AutoCAD were the programs utilized to create this project.

FIRST FLOOR REMODEL
Kris and Valerie Adkins are the clients for the Brownstone Remodel. They have requested that modern accents be added to the furniture and finishes while maintaining the fundamental elements of the home’s architecture. 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.
This remodel’s concept is old meets new.
Design Considerations:
• Construction documents to provide to contractors and clients.
• The blend of the style of the Victorian era with modern-day decor.
• Constructing storage as asked from clients.
• Selecting sustainable materials with low VOC’s, Green Guard certified, and locally sourced.
• When designing, keeping the architecture and framework to keep the brownstone mood.
• Putting in a feature point on the fireplace in the living room, mudroom lockers for storage and an office with both storage and a feature

OFFICE REMODEL
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.

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.
