about me

Hello! I am Amanda Lombardo, a solution-driven interior designer. I graduated from Umass Dartmouth with a Bachelors Degree in Interior Architecture and Design. In 2024, I pursued and passed the NCIDQ.

My love for space planning, problem solving and innovative thinking led me to Interior Design. Through education and experience, I have gained exponential knowledge of how to integrate empathetic and research based design to create forward-thinking solutions that impact the end-user in a positive and functional way. I am continuously inspired to bring new ideas to the table, helping find the best solution to any obstacle and design spaces that create an everlasting joyful experience. As an interior designer, my goal is to help drive new projects towards success with budget, time management and clear communication in mind.

Additionally, I enjoy outdoor hobbies that have opened the door to many strong networking connections. I enjoy my time snowboarding, hiking and running with my dogs!

Sincerely,

Amanda Lombardo

` Cushman and Wakefield strived for a place where they could create little moments that brought clients and employees together seamlessly. We designed active recharges that flowed naturally along the path of travel towards large conference meeting spaces.

Mixed-use spaces throughout the floor plan allows for different work preferences.

We chose finishes that resided to a Boston-feel and gave a subtle nod to the Boston Harbor view.

Worked through design obstacles with engineers to find solutions for a constraining HVAC conditions and product lead times.

SITE LOCATION:

11th St. & Monroe Washington D.C District of Columbia

OBJECTIVE:

Renovate a building to achieve LEED for an environmentally mindful company.

CONCEPT:

Wine barrels - recycled content and the use of metal bands to hold it together.

SOLUTION:

Create an office space that allows for diverse working technique. Using materials and LEED tactics to promote sustainability.

Salcheto Winery is located in Montepulciano, Italy. They are looking to move internationally, and chose to open up a sustainable office in America. A design challenge to make the space sustainable and touch back to their roots was solved throughout this new office space. Natural hues and pops of colors influenced by their different wine labels are found throughout different areas of the office.

Salcheto's office entry space sets the mood for the rest of the office. The warm hues are inviting. A deconstructed wine barrel makes up the reception desk, Dual heighdual-height countertops allow for wheel chair accessibility. A place for relaxed waiting and a spot for work can be found in this area.

Biophelia is brought into the space. It connects the people using the space to the roots of Salcheto and is great for air quality and productivity.

Hyrbid offices encourage employees to get up and move around and utilize the whole space. Layouts were designed to improve work production and acoustic value.

Biophelia enhances air quality in the space. It is watered through a grey water system that runs through the building.

Sustainable tactics throughout the office are important. The Salcheto family prides themself on their sustainability.

112 Maple Street

Chicago Illinois

OBJECTIVE:

The center is to increase the quality of life for individuals on the spectrum and their families

CONCEPT:

The sunflower resembles standing tall and always turning towards the light to embody a happy spirit.

SOLUTION:

This floor plan was inspired by the circulation of the petals on the flower surrounding a large center. The hallway from the reception acts as the stem which leads you to the center room that is used as a communal “Touch Down” space.

Off the communal space are training rooms and flex spaces with windows along the walls allowing one to peek in. The “Touch Down” space also includes skylights that have ample natural light shining throughout the space, like the sun shining on flowers and nurturing them.

Through evidence-based design, the space impliments ADA compliant tactics in a subtle and functional way to create simple solutions for tasks that are difficult for the users.

SENSORY DECISIONS

Throughout the design, materials, furnishings were chosen to accommodate hyper and hypo sensations.

ACOUSTICS / LIGHTING

All dimmers will be buzz-free, which helps avoid sensitivity to lighting and seizures. There are acoustic ceiling drops, soundproof interior walls, and carpeting to control sound waves.

EGRESS

The walk path allows for enough space for traffic in both directions. There is clearance for both push and pull for all door here, which is important for easy access into egress paths. Doors have an opening force that is less than 5 pounds.

VENEER WOOD brings in natural hues that are calming and easily cleanable.

Acoustic panels will be used in high traffic areas, such as the reception. Sensory overloads happen when noise levels create high sound waves.

The main pathways have tile along the wall that mimic finger groves. This tile goes halfway up the wall, stopping at the dualheight handrails (which allows for assisted walking). The textured tile encourages the users of the space to keep walking along the path.

OBJECTIVE:

Design a space for dining within the hotel that correlates to original design concept.

SOLUTION:

Using reflective material to incorporate the concept. Different seating options invites people to enjoy the space for all occassions.

The Port invites people to use the space for any occassion. The use of different types of seating allows for people to enjoy a formal meeting, a quick bite to eat, to catch up with a friend over a drink or to accompany friends in a gathering.

Sustainable practices are used throughout the space. Utilizing natural light, water conserving fixtures, recycling and food composting to use in the soil of the plants throughout the space. Accessibility through the floor is important, and any space allows for wheelchairs, walkers and other limitations.

Templeton, MA

OBJECTIVE:

A new kitchen layout with a custom hutch and staging for the dining / living room.

CONCEPT:

A subtle approach to Scandinavian styled home with influence of the mountains that surround them.

SOLUTION:

Utilized the space for a new kitchen layout and brightening up the space using warm tones with different textures and fabrics.

This is a project that I worked on with a friend who recently purchased a home. With a limited budget, I came up with a solution for a new layout for her kitchen that is currently being installed. The furniture and finishes were inspired by scandinavian design. The home is located in western Massachusetts and resides a young couple that is extremely happy with the outcome.
