STEELCASE DESIGN COMPETITION: NEXT

TASK: DESIGN AND CREATE AN OFFICE FOR AN ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN FIRM CALLED NEXT. THIS OFFICE WILL CREATE THE BEST POSSIBLE HYBRID WORK EXPERIENCE FOR EMPLOYEES AND WILL SUPPORT THE CHANGING WORK BEHAVIORS AND EXPECTATIONS OF THE WORKPLACE.

MY CONCEPT:

TAKING IN-TO CONSIDERATION THE PROXIMITY OF MUSEUMS LIKE THE NASHER SCULPTURE CENTER AND THE DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART, THIS DESIGN WILL DRAW FROM THE MOVEMENT AND SHAPES OF SCULPTURAL PIECES. THE SPACE EVOKES THE SERENITY AND INSPIRATION THAT COMES FROM LOOKING AT A PIECE OF ART WHICH IS EXPRESSED THROUGH THE MATERIALITY AS WELL AS NATURAL FORMS. THE ARCHITECTURE AND LAYOUT OF THE SPACE PROMOTES A CALMING, YET INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE TEAMS AND CLIENTS OF NEXT. THIS IN TURN WILL FOSTER THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION.

HOTEL MUSE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

CLASS: SURFACE MANIPULATION STUDIO

TASK: DESIGN AND CREATE A HOTEL OF OUR CHOSEN CONCEPT.

IMPORTANT INFO: MUST DESIGN FOUR SPACES WHICH ARE THE MAIN ENTRANCE/LOBBY, ELEVATOR LOBBY, CORRIDORS, AND GUESTROOMS.

SOFTWARE: SKETCHUP WITH VRAY, AUTOCAD, AND PHOTOSHOP

MY CONCEPT:

DUE TO THE LACK OF COLOR IN THIS SECTION OF THE WEST LOOP, THIS ARTIST RESIDENCY INSPIRED HOTEL WILL CREATE A COMFORTING, ARTISTIC ENVIRONMENT FOR GUESTS TO RELAX, CREATE, OR WORK. THROUGH ITS DESIGN AND THE INCORPORATION OF ART STUDIOS FOR PAINTING, DRAWING, WOODWORKING, AND POTTERY, GUESTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BRING OUT THEIR CREATIVE SIDE AND SHOWCASE THEIR PIECES IN GALLERY SPACES FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY

THIS HOTEL FOCUSES ON ALLOWING GUESTS TO NOT ONLY HAVE A PLACE TO STAY AND EXPERIENCE CHICAGO, BUT ALSO PROVIDE A SPACE FOR THEM TO GET CREATIVE AND POSSIBLY USE THE CITY FOR INSPIRATION IN THEIR ARTWORK. I DESIGNED FOUR MAIN PARTS OF HOTEL MUSE. THE WAY EACH SPACE IS DESIGNED IS BASED ON THE ARTIST PROCESS WHEN CREATING ARTWORK, WHICH I WILL BREAK DOWN AS WE DIVE INTO EACH SPACE.

#02 2023

ENTRANCE/MAIN LOBBY

THIS PART OF THE HOTEL IS INSPIRED BY AN ARTIST’S STUDIO WORKSPACE BEFORE THEY BEGIN TO MAKE ART. STUDIO WORKSPACES ARE SOMETIMES VERY MESSY AND HAVE A LOT OF MATERIALS EVERYWHERE WITH BIG TABLES AND LOTS OF SHELVES. IT IS NOT VERY ORDERLY AND IS MISMATCHED. THIS CONCEPT IS WHAT I USED TO DESIGN THIS SPACE.

PROCESS

#02 2023

ELEVATOR LOBBY

THE WAY THAT THIS SPACE IS DESIGNED IS BASED ON THE PART OF THE ARTIST PROCESS WHERE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION FOR THEIR WORK. THIS SPACE WILL HAVE INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS AND BE BRIGHT TO SPARK CREATIVITY IN THE GUESTS

#02 2023 PROCESS

CORRIDORS

THESE SPACES WERE INSPIRED BY THE BLANK PREPARED SURFACES THAT ARTISTS START WITH BEFORE STARTING TO CREATE THEIR ARTWORK. THESE SURFACES ARE USUALLY PRETTY PLAIN, ONE COLOR, AND USE A LOT OF CONCRETE AND TILE, AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS

PROCESS

#02 2023

GUEST ROOMS

THE LAST SPACES THAT I DESIGNED WERE THE GUEST ROOMS.

THE DESIGN OF THESE SPACES WERE INSPIRED BY COMPLETED ARTWORK, WHICH IS THE END OF AN ARTIST’S PROCESS. THIS MEANS THAT THE ROOMS HAVE A LOT OF COLOR, HAVE FINISHED SURFACES, AND HAVE A LOT OF ARTISTIC ELEMENTS LIKE INTRICATE WALLPAPER AND WALL ART

CUSTOM FURNITURE FOR HOTEL MUSE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

CLASS: DIGITAL MEDIA III

TASK: DESIGN AND CREATE A CUSTOM FURNITURE ELEMENT FOR OUR HOTEL.

IMPORTANT INFO: THE ELEMENT MUST BE SEVERAL PARTS AND MUST BE 3D PRINTED AND PAINTED, ALONG WITH FINAL RENDERINGS OF OUR DESIGNS. WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO COME UP WITH THREE DESIGNS AND THEN PICK ONE TO BE PRINTED AND RENDERED.

SOFTWARE: RHINO AND PHOTOSHOP.

MY DESIGN:

MY CUSTON FURNITURE ELEMENT IS A LARGE COMMUNAL WORKSPACE FOR GUESTS TO USE IN MY HOTEL. THE SHAPES OF THE TABLES ALLUDE TO PAINTER’S PALETTES AND THE DIFFERING HEIGHTS ALLOW FOR SITTING OR STANDING WHILE WORKING. THE CUSTOM ELEMENT IS LOCATED IN THE LOBBY OF MY HOTEL AND ENCOURAGES COLLABORATION DUE TO THE LARGE SIZE.

BASILICO

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

CLASS: INTRODUCTORY STUDIO

TASK: CREATE AND DESIGN A RESTAURANT OF OUR CHOSEN CUISINE AND CONCEPT.

IMPORTANT INFO: MUST INCLUDE A MARKET, BAR, AND DINING AREA IN OUR RESTAURANT.

SOFTWARE: REVIT AND PHOTOSHOP.

MY CONCEPT:

BASILICO IS A NORTHERN ITALIAN RESTAURANT WITH A SPECIALTY IN OUR HOMEMADE PESTO, INCORPORATING IT INTO A VARIETY OF OUR DISHES. WHILE DINING AT OUR RESTAURANT CUSTOMERS WILL BE IMMERSED IN THE CUISINE OF NORTHERN ITALY, WHICH WILL BE BRINGING YOU BACK FOR YEARS TO COME.

PROCESS

INSPIRATION: PESTO

PESTO IS A BASIL AND CHEESE SAUCE, ENRICHED WITH PINE NUTS, GARLIC AND EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. THIS SAUCE IS MOST PROMINENT IN NORTHERN ITALY AND IS THE MOST FAMOUS OF THE DISHES IN THE LIGURIA REGION. LIGURIA IS KNOWN FOR ITS EXQUISITE OLIVE OIL, WHICH IS KEY IN PRODUCING WORLD CLASS PESTO

HIDING PLACE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

CLASS: INTRODUCTORY STUDIO

TASK: DESIGN AND CREATE A PROPOSED HIDING PLACE FOR STUDENTS TO USE IN THE 623 WABASH AVE. COLUMBIA BUILDING.

IMPORTANT INFO: MUST FIT IN A 8’X8’ SQUARE AND BE A FUNCTIONAL SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO WORK OR RELAX. WE

WERE ALSO INSTRUCTED TO PRODUCE A MODEL OF OUR HIDING PLACE.

SOFTWARE: AUTOCAD AND SKETCHUP

MY CONCEPT:

MY HIDING PLACE IS LOCATED ON THE 8TH FLOOR IN THE 808 CLASSROOM. IT IS RIGHT BY THE LARGE TABLES TO ALLOW FOR MORE SITTING SPACE, BUT ALSO GIVES STUDENTS THE CHANCE TO ESCAPE TO A MORE PRIVATE AREA TO WORK ON THEIR PROJECTS. IT ALLOWS FOR TWO PEOPLE TO SIT IN EACH POD SEPARATELY FOR MORE INDIVIDUAL WORK OR CAN BE ROLLED TOGETHER FOR MORE COLLABORATIVE WORK (4 PEOPLE). IN ORDER TO USE MY HIDING PLACE, YOU NEED TO SIGN UP IN ADVANCE.
