THE DESIGN CONCEPT

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

The North Pole is renowned for its distinctive year-round Christmas decor and festive ambiance. In this design, I will integrate Putz (or smokers), which are small ceramic houses traditionally sold in Germany and utilized as Christmas decorations. These diminutive ceramic dwellings boast dark woods, distinctive wall paneling, and a cottage architectural style, adorned with wreaths and greenery Drawing inspiration from their unique features, I will incorporate straight lines and sharp edges reminiscent of the exterior half-timbered walls indoors. The use of dark stained woods will further evoke the cozy atmosphere associated with these ceramic houses and the holiday season. To infuse the design with a vibrant touch, I will introduce the distinctive colors characteristic of Putz houses Abundant greenery will be strategically placed throughout the space, fostering a pervasive Christmas ambiance within the complex.

THE DESIGN CONCEPT

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Wine is a very big part of the Italian culture, the country is covered in vineyards and many tourists enjoy spending the day at a vineyard. This is a couple moving into the great city of New York with Italian culture One of them is a fashion designer and the other is an Artist. They have lots of antiques and art that they would love to display throughout the apartment Wine is a sweet but bitter drink that tastes better the longer it is aged. We will incorporate the old with the new in this design to show that the aging makes the apartment feel more alive as how wine would make you feel There will be a calm feeling but will be counteracted with rich elements that draw your attention.
