TESLA
8,000 square ft. Tesla office building located in downtown Roanoke, the design is centered around the problem of no sense of community in modern workplace design due to poor accessibility and inadequate space planning. The solution to this problem was designing an innovative environment that gives people the choice on how they want to accomplish their day. The main focus on how to solve the problem of no community in the workplace is layout. The blending of open and closed workspaces and many different types of communal areas throughout. 04

MUNDO BOUTIQUE
Retail Project
Enscape,SketchUp,Photoshop Spring2023
We were tasked with the interior design, space planning, and branding for a new boutique retail shop. Three floor plans were given to us to choose from, and they sat on the corner of two narrow streets. We had to include a mezzanine level, storage space, office, ADA restroom, and fitting rooms. We were also asked to create a brand identity for our shop, as well as design elements that tie into that.
DESIGN CONCEPT
Called Mundo Boutique, it is a specialty retail shop that imports merchandise and goods from all around the world. It is located in the bay area of San Francisco, California, which is diverse in arts, music, and culture. I focused on using only natural and subtle materials for the design, since the products are representing many different cultures and I wanted that to be the main focal point Natural wood, concrete, stone, and metal seen in the designs reflects that.
