Concept Statement :

Integration is a key to a strategic business in todays interconnected and interdependent economy. The workspace is an under utilized asset that organizations can leverage to accelerate the complex process of integration. Leading organizations like Strategic Energy understand the role culture plays within the physical work environment can use the space as a competitive environment.

Keeping this in mind, I created an efficient work space that gears Strategic Energy for a successful and sustainable future. I created a safe, healthy, and welcoming work environment in which the employees and staff feel comfor table. The design reflects the ideas and goals of the company and shows the values it places on its employes and the environment. It is modern, fresh thinking, and youthful. The company encourages and values creativity, collaboration, and integration.

CONCEPT STATEMENT: The new residence was designed to create a functional and fluid space for the Moore family. This was done through careful space planning and interior and exterior design considerations. The main concept behind the design was fluidity. I created a fluid space that could be seen in the spacial design of the space and the color and material choices decided though out the design. The idea was to create a place that functions as a quality work and living environment for the whole family. The families active lifestyle makes for an open plan that would increases communication between family members , while creating separate zones for each of the members of the family. This was done be creating separate wings for each of the functions of the family.

The central zone is the enter tainment and living zone. This is carried out throughout out the floors. The left side of the house is primarily for john and Melissa. This is where the master bath is located. On the lower level of the right side of the house is the couples shared office. The right side of the house is for the guests and their daughter.

The space has an overall feel of a spa. Fluidity and water being the main design theme throughout the house. Special design considerations were made create a sense of calm. This was done through color, textures, organization , and furniture selections. Space planning considerations such as an open plan were fur ther considered to create a fluid environment.

Concept Statement :

The Lerner Residence master bath was designed to improve the health and wellbeing in the couples lives. A

perfect space to enjoy and relax. The design intent was to create a master bath that is a spa retreat from the daily worries. I created a space that would serve as an private space for the couples daily use. The following items were incorporated into the design, walk in steam shower, freestanding tub, recreational zone, dressing area, beverage center, his/her separate vanity areas, and an outdoor private patio. The over all feel is of a contemporary spa with old world elements that link the bathroom back to natural elements. I used solid planes of natural stone paired with wood, and spouts of vegetation to tie nature into the space.
