hello!
My name is Chloe Claybour and I am a 2024 Interior Design graduate from Arizona State University. I believe that my love for design is something that I was born with. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with the way that a space can make you feel. User experience and holistic design are two concepts that I value very deeply and I hope that my designs can provide happiness and comfortability.
This portfolio contains major projects done throughout my design studies, including work in numerous sectors of design such as workplace, healthcare, and retail . Thank you for taking time to review my work!
steelcase next student competition
fall 2023
about
During my senior year workplace studio, my classmates and I were given the opportunity to compete in the annual Steelcase NEXT Student Design Competition. As an interior design program, Arizona State was only allowed to submit 8 projects to Steelcase, and I was one of the students chosen by my professors to represent ASU. Not only was this a great accomplishment for me, but it was also a project that I ended up being very proud of because of the thoughtful concept-driven design decisions made throughout.
Steelcase provided the client, program, and site for this competition. The client is a fictitious architecture and design firm, called NEXT, that is based in Los Angeles, California. With 27 locations and 3,000 employees, NEXT is future-focused and is looking to open a satellite office in Dallas, Texas. The suite is located in the Victory Commons One building on the third floor which has 30 foot ceilings. To make use of the double height, students were also required to add an ADA compliant mezzanine level with a maximum of 3,666 square feet. The provided floor plan is a dumbbell shape with the building’s existing elevators in the center. Because of this, I decided to separate the private, work side from the more public, client-facing side. The public side has views of the iconic American Airlines Center.

I started my design with a long, yet rewarding, process of developing a strong concept. As the site is located in Dallas, I wanted to create a space that reflects something special to the city. After researching Dallas and studying the client, I came up with a concept that I loved: Reunion Tower. Reunion Tower is one of the most iconic buildings in the Dallas skyline. Standing 561 feet tall, Reunion Tower can be seen from over 15 miles away from its point. The Tower features an observation deck providing 360 degree panoramic views of Dallas. Three words that symbolize both NEXT and Reunion Tower are unity, celebration, and forward thinking. These three words helped me make design decisions and curate a space that reflects the company. From the materials and color palette to symbolism through forms such as diagonal walls and special lighting, I made sure that everything in the space had a purpose and reasoning behind it.












client-facing spaces

Large break room for employees to recharge during the work day or meet casually with a client. Adjacent to this space is the training classroom, which seats 40 people comfortably and opens up to the work cafe, serving as additional seating for larger gatherings.
celebration of connection
Medium sized meeting room adjacent to reception that seats up to six people. Pops of yellow and tray ceiling detail with cove lighting ymbolize the celebration of people coming together.

monumental stair
The NEXT Dallas office features a monumental staircase connecting the third level and the mezzanine. This custom stair has modern glass panels, sleek wood railings, and a planter. The use of yellow underneath the stair and on the planter symbolizes the celebration of the connection between floors.
Directly adjacent to the staircase is an open collaboration space, featuring Steelcase soft seating, wood table, and a portable monitor for presentation purposes. This space also serves as a buffer between the focus space and the public elevators.














02 marketing suite summer 2023
aboutDuring my Summer internship at Corgan, my fellow intern and I were given the opportunity to design a marketing suite for our portfolios. Together, we created bubble diagrams and interations of floor plans and reflected ceiling plans which we then were able to get feedback from professional workplace interior designers at the Phoenix office during weekly meetings.
This marketing suite is located in the third floor of the McDowell Mouontain Business Park in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is designed for any marketing firm to flourish in their work with both flexibility and funtionality in mind. The program includes many types of collaboration spaces, fostering strong energy and relationship-building, as well as individual focus areas.

03 radiance women’s shelter
spring 2023
aboutMy third year Spring studio course was definitely one that taught me about many different areas of design including industrial design, architecture, landscape architecture, and of course, interior design. During this semester, our goal was to design a living community and transitional housing shelter for a specific demographic within the homeless community. As a team of three, my colleagues and I chose to design a safe haven for women and children who have experienced and fled from domestic violence.
My personal responsibilities within the team consisted of the space planning and drawing of all floor plans, designing the ramps to work with the topography, drawing and rendering sections and elevations, 3D modeling the living pods, medical center, and site, and rendering all major spaces.

narrative
The collage above depicts a broken mirror. The mirror represents reflection and the feeling of beauty. When a woman goes through an experience like domestic violence, their sense of beauty and femininity can be lost. Our design strives to help rebuild and empower these women so they can get back out into the world and thrive.


the site
The class was given a large piece of land spanning miles along the Salt River in Central Phoenix. My team and I chose a site located directly off Central Avenue on the south side of the river. We chose to place our community close to Central Avenue for ease of transportation and south of the river to be closer to the serene mountains. There is also a lightrail stop adjacent to our chosen site which provides convenience for those without a car. Since one of our goals is to help these women get back on their feet, this would provide a means of transportation to go to a job interview or other opportunities.
The land also features 25 foot sloped topography. Along this slope, we scattered the living pods with ramps in between each pod for accessibility.

living pods
The first half of the semester, teams focused on the design of the living pods for the homeless shelter. We were challenged to design these pods out of shipping containers. My team decided to create three options to accommodate the needs of our residents: single woman, women with young children, and a family sized unit which also doubles as an ADA unit.
For our final design, we used a combination of 8x20 ft. and 8x10 ft. containers as well as additional construction built out of 8x16 in. masonry units to house the primary wet wall.




living room
Each living pod has a spacious living room to make the resident feel at home. High windows and a large skylight bring in natural light while keeping the space private.
kitchen + dining
Residents are able to cook and dine in their own personal kitchen. Food is available at the communal pantry located in the community center for residents to cook with.


freshen up
Bright, light finishes used in the bathrooms to open up the space and make the resident feel clean and enhance their beauty. There is extra counter space next to the sink and built in cabinetry added to maximize storage.
built-in closets
Each bedroom has a built in closet to maximize space and provide the resident with enough storage for their belongings. Radiance strives to make the resident feel at home throughout their time in the community.

04 motiv3 flagship store
spring 2023
about
The third year fall semester interior design studio focused on retail design. This was an individual project where we each developed our own retail brand of any kind and then designed its flagship store. The brand that I came up with is called Motiv3, which is a stationery brand that sells products catered toward all 3 main types of motivation: Intrinsic, Extrinsic, and Identified.
The site we worked with is the south rotunda of the Phoenix Financial Center. The program includes areas for all 3 types of merchandise, back of house needs, a coffee bar, study rooms, a paper recycling station, a personalization station, and learning workshops.
