Hello I was born in Shanggao, Jiangxi Province, China. Two American school teachers adopted me a year and a half later. My mother, an art teacher, spotted my artistic skills at a young age and guided my talents across different mediums. This later paid off through art shows and awards throughout elementary and high school. During my high school years, my interests in art expanded into the digital domain, particularly in 3D modeling and animation.

Pursuing an associate’s degree in art further honed my painting and figure drawing skills. From there, my passion for painting stood out, so I pursued that as a career after graduating. After a year of developing my career path and despite success in selling my paintings, I still felt like there was a better way I could express my passion for art. Having a diverse artistic background, I realized interior design would be an excellent fit for all my artistic abilities.

So far, my interior design education has shown me how vast the field is and how much creativity and problem solving are required to succeed. As I step into my fourth year, I’m excitedly planning a semester abroad in Rome- an endeavor I hope will further my appreciation for Renaissance Architecture and help elevate my drawing and drafting skills. I anticipate that this experience will aid in a greater understanding of design and embed a new way of living through a different culture.

Post-graduate studies, I look forward to applying my studies practically in the field. I aim to embrace every design sector, allowing each encounter to shape and guide my journey. My aspirations gravitate towards specializing in museum and art gallery design, particularly in interactive children’s museums. With a decade-long involvement in children’s education, I’ve collected valuable insights into child development. I aim to carry my knowledge of both art and education through my designs. Beyond this specialization, I am interested in designing spaces for K-12, higher education, and offices.

I am driven, skilled, and passionate. I am optimistically looking forward to what my future holds within this industry.

Revit, Photoshop, Enscape Third year - First Semester

We were given a space on the third floor of an existing office building in Dallas, Texas. The space was 30’ high floor to ceiling, so a mezzanine that fit the requirements of the NEXT competition was added.

The building was designed to house 43 employees of an architecture firm. We were to provide enough workstations, meeting rooms, and accomodations for the employees throughout the space. The design intentions of the space were to draw in the employees after the pandemic by focusing on technological advancement that would promote new forms of collaboration and create a hybrid workspace for a more comfortable and flexible work environment.

DESIGN CONCEPT AND NEXT’S GOALS

Starting the design process, the concept of “threshold” was thought through to its multitude of meanings. The specific definition that was focused on pertains to the level or point at which you start to experience something or at which something starts to happen. The alignment with the NEXT goals was recognized as they embody innovative thinking and a forward-looking approach to collaborative work. The initial design development focused on organic shape and was shaped by a threshold graph and an equation. Following several rounds of iterations and brainstorming, the term “alternating” was incorporated into the concept.

The aim was to create zones with clear wayfinding and spatial clarity without using physical barriers. The concept of “threshold” inspired ideas of well-defined room separation and clear identification, while “alternating” expressed the idea of seamless transitions between spaces.

Layers were employed to convey this concept to life through alterations in ceiling height, room division, and categorization. The main focus of the design was to create a ceiling element that reflected the concept.

NEXT wanted to provide a higher technological integration into the space for easier, seamless collaboration, interactive displays, and video conference tools with clients. The advancement also provides an easier, more flexible way for the firm to access new knowledge and share material. To meet this goal, their technology was a large focus of the design process, and this is portrayed through interactive digital display walls repeated throughout the space. These digital displays are used around the building for the workers to use as smart devices or for displays of NEXT’s past work.

Team homebases create an organic feel. People can flow between focus work and collaboration

PROGRESS WORK AND DESIGN CHARRATTE

BUBBLE DIAGRAM

Before the design development was complete we were tasked to create multiple design charrates to help us with brainstorming ideas and custom elements. Each charratte was timed in 15 minute intervels to prevent us from being too meticulous in our line placement.

This exercise helped with quicker thinking, and faster sketching speed.

RECEPTION 8

Julie DePetris (918)644-2198 depetris@uark.edu

The reception space has seating for up to six visitors and has wrapped digtal displays across the walls to display NEXT’s past projects. A resource center is placed near by for easy access for the receptionist. The ceiling element is mainly focused above the reception and training space. It is mostly condensed above these two spaces to represent the high traffic that circulates the area.

We were tasked to create a wild card space in our design development and I chose to add interactive digital display walls throughout the space. The wall displaying the buildings in the perspective and axons is the digital display wall. It is meant to be interactive and interchanging while the clients are waiting. Clients or visitors can come up to the wall and maneuver through NEXT’s past works and interiors.

TRAINING ROOM / MONUMENTAL STAIRCASE 10

Julie DePetris (918)644-2198 depetris@uark.edu

The training space is multipurpose, capable of holding up to 40 people. The room is intended to hold any staff meetings, internal training, or vender presentations. The space provides seating and table space for each person and the tables can be moved to the side if not in use. A projector is provided but can be rolled away into the built-in when it is not needed.

A huddle space is connected to the training to add extra seating if it is not being used. The space can seat 8 people which can add to the seating in the training room. Railing is added for safety and division between the two spaces. A pin up board with double sided backing for whiteboard is provided in huddle space and can also be used for the training classroom if needed.

WORK CAFE 12

Julie DePetris (918)644-2198 depetris@uark.edu

Work Cafe-The work cafe is placed adjacent to the main workstations and it is used for a multipurpose space. Other than for a break out for meals it also provides a different environment for working, and a breakout space for any small events held at the firm.

Design Library- The design library is separated into three different sections to provide a more flexible accommodating space. The majority of the library is open with only built-ins for space separation.

The first section is closest to the work cafe and is openly facing the full height curtian walls. A pin up board is placed facing the natural light for better visibility of materials and to visualize them in different times of day. The middle section is semi-enclosed with the majority of the storage space used for physical materials. The last section is fully enclosed and is intended for client meetings to review samples.

DESIGN LIBRARY

Workstations-The workstations are sectioned off into three different teams and are color coded for better wayfinding purposes. The workstations had to overall accomodate 43 employees.

This section cut helps explain the multipurposed design of the monumental staircase. The staircase is meant for a training location for staff, and a varied space for brainstorming and teamwork. Above the monumental staircase two huddle spaces are designed and can be also used as more seating during training sessions. The mother’s and wellness room are located right below the monumental staircase and huddle to take advantage of the unused space below.

The mezzanine floor is pushed back to the north side of the building where the majority of workstations and private offices are located. These workstations are right above two huddle spaces and the training room for easy access. The main reason the mezzanine is pushed against the north side is to allow as much natural light to hit each space from the full ceiling height curtain walls.

HVAC and Electrical

PROJECT 1 DW

The HVAC and electrical are combined in this sheet and are separated on the floor plan and RCP. They are separated due to the HVAC and electricity spanning the ceiling and the floor.

HVAC- The HVAC has a supply system wrapping around the curtain wall with the return hidden in the ceiling above.

The HVAC’s central system meets at the core of the building by the water main and boiler system.

2601 VICTORY AVE, DALLAS, TX 75219

KEY Heating

Electrical- The electrical connects both the ceiling and the floor by traveling along the sides of the wall for transition space. The electricity is along the floor to run up the work cafe tables where outlets are available. It also runs to the kitchen of the work cafe to rise against the wall to connect to the custom pendant lights. Along the west wall the ON switch for the main lights in the work cafe is there.

Cooling Grey Water

The electrical above-the-ceiling element goes across the ceiling to connect to each custom light fixture.

The smoke alarms are located in 3 spots along the work cafe. One is above the kitchen, the other is by the west wall of the cafe, and the final is by the surrounding curtain wall banquette seating area.

Senior Living Center Paderborn, Germany

Revit, Photoshop, Enscape Second year- Second Semester

We aimed to redesign an existing building in Paderborn, Germany, and turn it into an independent senior living facility. I chose the word retrospective for my design concept, which means reflecting on the past or past events. Paderborn has a vibrant history, and many buildings are from the Renaissance. So, throughout the development, I referenced German Renaissance architecture throughout my design.

This design intends to create a senior facility to promote a healthy lifestyle after retirement. The spaces were designed to encourage residents to interact and form a community. Many communal spaces are open to the public so the residents can form connections and make new friends.

SECTION PERSPECTIVES - ENTRY, RESTAURANT, LIBRARY The senior living center faces a busy highway with a park and residential housing toward the back of the building.

The living facility has many public spaces for visitors to come in and spend time, like a restaurant, cafe and bar, and a library. Because of this, most of the public high traffic spaces are pushed forward to face the busy highway for higher visibilitity to the public. The resident’s units were pushed toward the back of the building to face the park and residential neighborhood.

RESTAURANT RESTAURANT 26

Julie DePetris (918)644-2198 depetris@uark.edu

RESTAURANT DETAILS With the restaurant’s location facing a busy highway, the design intentions were to draw the public to the space and to design an interior that attracted all ages. The ceiling element was heavily inspired by an Asope store located in Oslo, Norway. Having the floor to ceiling curtian walls, the thickness and scale of the ceiling element would be visible from the visitors outside.

The darker environment was also inspired by early 18th century Reniassance pubs that span all across Paderborn. It was designed to bring a hint of nostalgia and comfort to the residents, but also to have a modern environment to draw in a younger generation.

27

LIBRARY LIBRARY 28

Julie DePetris (918)644-2198 depetris@uark.edu

The senior living center was required to have 45 units in the space with double and single unit options. Each space was designed to fit ADA accommidations and to have elements of wayfinding to help the residents find their rooms.

The corridor was designed to help with direction and identification. The locations of their rooms were painted bright colors, and an overhang was added to add extra built-in light and to identify the rooms from a farther distance.

Another way for the residents to identify their rooms is the customizable shelf space by the entrance of their rooms.

There, they can place photos of family members or other items that remind them of home.

PLATONIC SOLIDS The ask was for us to design a wearable outfit made up of paper cut otu platonic solid shapes. I constructed a metal framed corset with mesh fabric that would make the platonic solids easier to attach. The torso of the corset was made by deconstructing the solids and flattening them.

PHOTOSHOP AND REVIT TO RHINO WORKSHOP

The deliverable for this design requirement was to create an installation encompassing the empty given space. The structure was constructed in Rhino and transferred to Revit for texturing and placement. The design intention was to create an environment that mimicked the interiors of a cave but also had a warm flow throughout the space, like a volcano. The natural pool of light enveloping the space helped aid in the warm light tones and exenterated the intended warm atmosphere. This workshop was intended for only a week so the design development was very quick and experimental.
