INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO | Intro

Why interior

design?

Interior design is not concerning beauty only.

As for me, Interior Design is functionality / environment / beauty.Optimizing the space and raising the quality of life is what interior design doing.

Make it effective through the circulation, zoning, design furniture, atmosphere etc.

Solving problems and creating an appropriate atmosphere which I want to make it perfect.

problem I found

Fitting room location

Circulation problem

New idea

Placing Fitting room at the back may exist the problem, which is time consuming for customer to walk

the circulation of customer will be confusing.Mixing fitting and cashier area will be too crowded in the centre of the store

Trying to arrange fitting area to the corner.Setting up cashier in near the entrance.

irregular floor plan The existing floor plan is asymmetrical.Besides, there is a corner with 110sq.ft where is difficult to handle and make it functional

Hose reel system & mcb These system should be easy to find and do not cover by any funirture.Hence, should pay attention of designing that area.

Final option Setting up fitting area in the corner providing privacy for customers.Also the circulation is much clear and direct.Cashier is located near the entrance, it is easy for customers to look for.

Floor plan layout development

The deisplay design may occupy lots of space, not benefial for a clothing store.Also, the space are not fully ultilized since the cashier is between the display design.

Attempting to design new furniture for display.In addition, the circulation become more interesting.Fitting area are not private enough, so I have a little transformation.

The cashier design is come from cufflinks concept.Also it is the spot light items in the store.Having different angle of the table and the stand to make the perfect interaction between stuff and customers.

The hanger design are come from the another part of cufflinks.Client should make use of the hanger for advertisement.

Moreover, the stand seperate the boy and girl collection.The white hanger can be fully ultilized

Besides, the position of the stuff and cash register is what I concern about .The cashier consist of maxmium 2 stuff.

BOUTIQU

E HOTEL DESIGN

ButterfLy Hotels and Serviced Apartment

Concept

Established since 2008, Butterfly Hotels and Serviced Apartments is a continuously growing boutique hotel company from Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a colorful and gorgeous city specially the night view. As the land mark boutique hotel around the Tsim SHa Tsui .I think the theme of the hotel must be impressive and sigature. Therefore, I decided to use lightpath to be the concept of this project

Distinguished by heartfelt service, strategic location and sophisticated character and design, our remarkable financial performance lies at the heart of our competitive advantage.

Lightpath

The reason I choose lightpath is because it represent the liftstyle of Hong Kong, which is speeding in everthing. Also, it represents the night view of Hong Kong. The combination of liftstyle, night view and boutique hotel of Hong Kong

problem I found

g/f hotel lobby The program

The reception and information counter must be easy to look for.Since the visitor will check-in in the reception and get information from the counter simultaneously I gave up the option of running F&B apartment in G/F, because of the unavailiable space.I decided to make use of the huge window and street view.Visitors may spend time in the Sitting area to read books or the exhibition area

The hotels group aims to create a hotel which is unique style, theme.Therefore, there is exhibition area for the customers who wants to know more information about this hotel.

Floor plan layout development The characteristic of lightpath •Consistency •Maybe parallel •Maybe overlapping •Speedy I make use of the illustration like lightpath as the prototype, then apply layering, enlargement, solid & void method to generate my ideas.

The illustration of the plan are formed by straight line and round angle

INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO | Butterfly On Austin

problem I found

disorderly structure pillar The structure pillars are not arrange in horizontal or vertical order.Its like an obstacle in the space.There are lots of consideration how to cover it. So, I have to pay attention when drafting plans.

1/F will be the bar & lounge, these pics are how I arrange the different zone and testing which is the best zoning.

Finally,the structure pillar is for the partition function, it helps me to split the sitting area into V.I.P area , small table area and workshop also

Floor plan layout development

Zoning

Formation of the plan Taking the prototype to generate the form as the plan.Using overlapping, rotation method to create the form.To form that shape in the plan, I have to build partition wall to achieve.

INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO | Butterfly On Austin

Proposed layout plan/ section rendering The ground floor is the hotel lobby, there are a huge curve shape counter in the middle after entrance.

The counter is divided into two parts, one is check-in, another is reception. Then the left side is the waiting area for visitors waiting luggage & transport etc.Two special area I have create in this space. The exhibtion area and display area, the reason I create is some vistor are willing to know more about this hotel.

The first floor is the bar & lounge and workshop. The workshop is called culture workshop, since visitors or citizens can make Hong Kong Culture handicraft, for example lamp / foods or even chinese culture handicraft.Bar & lounge area is for the leisure time that people wants to have a drink

Hotel Lobby Internet Area / Sitting Area

Fluorescent wall light

The internet area is located near the sitting area.Visitors in these two area can be intereact.Atmosphere will be rich in that area

Apart from the gloss black material on the wall.I applied fluorescent wall light as the ornament which strengthen the speedy and consistency feeling in the space.

Counter Lighting To enrich the atmosphere of the hotel lobby, I also set up vertical lighting over the counter. The mirror of the ceiling light reflected the lighting.It looks like falling stair

handicraft

The lounge is for both vistors and guests. Visiotr may spend a few hours in here during leisure time, gathering with friends...talking gossip with your buddies...with live band music such a adorable session!

Since hong kong is part of china, there are many culture handicraft from chinese.Also, visitor would like to know about diffrent culture.For example, Paper-cut / Chinese knot

The ceiling light are design from the circulation path.The lighting leading visitors to travel in the space.The wall light pattern look the same with lobby one due to the consistency of G/F and 1/F

Site study Sun Light As the sun light are entered from the left side.The waiting area and the reception must be under natural light to provide a bright and comfort area for visitors.

The Main Entrance There are main street near hotel where frequently appear traffic jam.The main entrance is facing the innear street, so that the hotel should be more quiet

The Luggage Room Luggage room is a room that with high pirvacy.The window will be blocked by a partitiion wall due to security concern.

Workshop Area Having handicraft workshop, the light of the area must be bright enough for the participant.Therefore, arranging the huge window for that area is great.

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non-governmental organization founded on April 29, 1961, working in the field of the biodiversity conservation, and the reduction of humanity’s footprint on the environment. It was formerly named the World Wildlife Fund, which remains its official name in Canada and the United States.

Contour Line. It is an indication of a mountain, to know the slope.Is it dangerous or not?

In this nature exhibition, the aim is to lets the Hong Kong citizens know what happening in Hong Kong. At the same time, contour line also related to the environment

CONTOUR LINE

40

? t c e j o r p s i h t Why The environment become worst In the past 10 years, Hong Kong Government and citizen keep destroying the eco system/ nature of Hong Kong.

For example the reclamation work, illegal dumping, large scale of civil development for example Hong Kong Macau Zhuhai Bridge project, new town development. All of these will lead to environment damage.

It leads to the nature environment become worsen. The number of organisms and plants keep decreasing .Some of the nature landscape will be disappear gradually.

AIM Arising the awareness adjective

Impressive organic

The site far away from downtown.Most of the pedestrian are come from village and tourists.

The window of building are facing the sunpath.Therefore building can absorb natural as the lighting

The site loacted between Sai Kung downtown and Pak Tam Chung.There are several village near the site.Sea and plants as the surrounding view.

It provides a natural & relaxing atmosphere

Site Analysis The transportation are minibus & bus.The route are along Tai Mong Tsai Road

INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO | Rock a Sink

ideas I have picked rock as my concept of the sink.The best method to get a natural rock to genrate ideas.

I went outdoor and looking for a suitable rock to make a sink.

Also,trying to measure the size of the rock.

After getting a natural rock, I take the shot of rock with different angle.Besides, the illustration of different angle have recorded.Considering which side is the best for making sink.

54

INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO | Rock a Sink

I have enlarged the rock model 4times proportionally due to build a 1:4 making model.Here is the dimension after multiply 4 times which is suitable dimension for sink Finally,I choose the original rock shape as the form of the sink.Then, Making the 3D model through 3dsmax.

s c i m o n o g er In addition to build a conceptial model,ergonomics is also a concern.I have read some sink standard as reference.For exmaple, what is the height and width of the sink, what is the size of the basin.
