INTERIOR DESIGN

FANG HSU

With my passion for crafting transformative experiences in interior design and my conviction that each space holds a unique story, delving into lighting design enables me to narrate tales through light, be it through bold theatrical effects or delicate subtleties. This pursuit animates spaces, imprinting enduring impressions on those who engage with them. My goal is to harness lighting not merely to illuminate spaces, but to curate memorable and profound interactions, thereby enhancing the holistic design journey.

As a project coordinator at Osman, in this high-end residential project, I assisted in drafting the lighting plan and lighting details, specifying the lighting fixtures, and sourcing conceptual images to showcase the desired lighting outcome for the space. Additionally, I coordinated the procurement process, including obtaining quotations, and tracking their delivery to ensure alignment with project requirements and timelines.

Chrysalis >

A Process of Rebirth

Chrysalis is an agent of near miraculous change and one responsible for making butterflies powerful symbols of hope and transformation. This is a sign that something beautiful is surely on its way.

Inspired by the chrysalis, each person who comes to this meditative space will sit in individual, circular, interior spaces divided and surrounded by translucent linen drapery- which symbolizes the silken pad of a chrysalis. As meditation is a process of transformation and rebirth for human beings.

Sustainable Approach

Linen Fabric

• Requires fewer resources and less water to grow and produce

• Can be grown without pesticides and chemicals

• Durability means each piece lasts longer and reduces waste

• Natural biodegradable material which reduces waste

Seaweed insulation for sound-absorbing

Seaweed insulation provides an organic alternative to materials such as mineral wool. Seaweed mats are formed using heat and high-pressure compression. It allows for a long lifetime and for repeated recycling, either reused as insulation or transformed into 2D or 3D designs.

Working & Learning Space

For CPNYC

In the midst of a vibrant city lies a hidden sanctuary, a haven for children and families grappling with the profound impact of mass incarceration. This community-focused organization’s mission is to offer a comprehensive range of therapeutic empowerment services and youth development programs, all under one roof.

Design Solution

Children of Promise, NYC is a community-centered organization that partners with children and families impacted by mass incarceration to dismantle the stigma and heal from the trauma plaguing Black and Brown communities.

The project’s vision is to craft a serene, nature-inspired oasis where kids can escape the pressures of daily life and find solace amidst the enchanting beauty of the natural world. Emulating the tranquility of an outdoor landscape, the interior design weaves together elements such as trees, mushrooms, and undulating hills, creating a soothing and nurturing environment.

Gathering Space, 3rd Floor

This multifunctional gathering space, located on the third floor, serves as a welcoming hub for all organization members. Complete with an in-house café, it offers a comfortable and inviting environment for members to connect, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.

Playing Ground, 1st Floor

This playground is brimming with nature-inspired elements, offering mushroom-like seating for children to lean or sit on and sprout-like lighting to illuminate the space. A small hill invites children to climb, creating an engaging environment that encourages play and interaction.

Eating/Socializing Area, 1st Floor

This area serves as a dining and socializing space, featuring a design inspired by the fascinating Clathrus mushroom. This structure sparks the imagination of children and instills a sense of wonder, creating a stimulating environment for them to enjoy meals and engage in lively conversations with one another.

Wellness Center , 2nd Floor

This wellness center, inspired by the shape of mushrooms, looks like they are sitting beneath a glowing mushroom while engaging in therapeutic activities. This playful and imaginative environment helps to ease their minds and promotes relaxation during their healing process.

Working Area, 2nd Floor

This space serves as a work area for tutors, therapists, and administrative staff, allowing them to relax and focus on their tasks. The design continues the theme of incorporating nature, creating an ambiance where they feel as if they are sitting beneath a tree, fostering a sense of tranquility and connection to the natural world.

This dome-shaped structure, inspired by the Clathrus mushroom, functions as a meeting room and a resting area for staff members to recharge and have conversations during their work at the organization. Adjacent to it is a unique column that I have transformed into a bookshelf, providing both books display and seating for those who wish to relax and read.

Assisted Living

This assisted living facility design draws inspiration from nature, specifically lotus and mushrooms, to create a biophilic environment that enhances the residents’ well-being. Seeking to foster a sense of community while promoting a connection with nature and the environment.

Design Concept

People are being held with care, like a seed pod nestled at the center of a lotus flower, well-protected by its petals. In this design, we aim to capture this essence of the lotus with the placement of the residents’ suites in the center surrounded by wellness and caregiver spaces.

Mushrooms represent the interconnectedness of all things, as they grow in a network of mycelium underground. By including mushrooms in the design, we aim to create a sense of community and connection among the residents.

Water induces a meditative state, allowing our brains to shift away from daily stressors. Seeing water can also trigger the release of endorphins, which can boost mood and create feelings of happiness.
