Solar Decathlon Structure

One of my projects as an interior designer involved building a model of a water core system, and I made sure to use sustainable materials in the process.

This model is constructed with cork flooring to represent the sustainable materials used for the structure of NUHome, clear plastic panels for the walls to showcase the water system and colorful pipe cleaners to demonstrate the different types of piping. Wooden dowls are also used as support for the structure itself .

This allowed me to create a visually appealing model while also reducing its environmental impact. Through this project, I learned about the importance of selecting sustainable materials in interior design to create a more ecofriendly and sustainable built environment.

I gained insight into the important details that need to be noted when designing water core systems, such as the system's flow rate, the size and number of pipes required, and the location of the system within the building.

The final model is a testament to how environmentally conscious design can still be visually stunning and functional.

OBJECTIVE

The Hotel Bliss, an Italian-themed hotel that exudes both style and comfort through its design elements. The lobby boasts a strong use of naturalistic elements and the right lighting scheme to create a show stopping space that welcomes and addresses guests in the best possible way.

As the elevator lobby is the best opportunity to create a great first impression on guests, I focused on the architectural and interior space of that area. I incorporated minimalistic elements with a contemporary and modern aesthetic, using materials such as marble, glass, and dark wood furniture with gold accents. The clean design lines, bright and bold designs, and Italian art all contribute to the hotel's unique and distinctive atmosphere.

Through my hand rendering, I captured the hotel lobby's balance between form and function, with a strong use of color that encourages guests to relax and enjoy their surroundings. This project allowed me to showcase my skills in creating a visually appealing and inviting space through the use of hand rendering techniques.
