PACKAGING
Selections
The packaging and wall fixtures used in this project were chosen in such a way that the target market of Litera would be drawn into the store to shop. The packaging is a great example of branding. Since the merchandise in the store was primarily books, the goal was tor fixtures to hold as many books as possible and display them in an efficient way.
MERCHANDISE PLAN

WALL FIXTURES
The merchandise planning for Litera was strategic to not only bring in customers but keep them intrigued and eager to follow to flow of the store. The main entry and windowline was surrounded by seasonal merchandise to attract consumers while to the right of the entrance, the primary merchandise is found to keep the customers engaged. The plan followed the principle of flow in a retail environment: from the right making a circle around to the left. It was an efficient use of space and allowed for clear designation for the cash wrap and service area.

MATERIAL SELECTION
The materials chosen for Litera were completely inspired by nature and whimsical stories. As a client entered the store, the goal was for them to feel inspired and creative, and to feel calm in the space. In order to achieve that, the materials were placed in a specific way to symbolize different parts of nature. The blues symbolized the sky and water, while the browns depicted dirt and trees. There were also hints of green in the space that portrayed leaves and greenery. These all contribute to the shopping experience in Litera, a place where imagination and creativity were a huge priority.
EXTERIOR
On the exterior, the goal was to attract our target market, which was readers and artists. The final product was a creative mural of a set of books. The branding colors were also used on the exterior to begin the Litera experience before even entering the bookstore.

FURNITURE SELECTIONS
The furniture used in this project will be used by a variety of people, multiple times a day. In order to withstand all the wear and tear, these furniture selections from Knoll feature reinforced frames with solid wood stretchers underneath the seats and durable veneer on the tables. They also stand nicely aesthetically with the concept of Pixel; a mix of wood and geometric shapes.
RECEPTION AREA
In this area it was important to follow the nature theme but formalize it more and create an elegant space for guests to enjoy. That was achieved through the use of refined materials and elaborate light fixtures above the desk.

05 BROWNSTONE REMODEL
CONCEPT
Raw Element
- Fire, earth, air, water
GOALS
- Open sightlines
Historical Design + Demolition/ Construction
- Combination of historical and new features
- Natural finishes
FIRE, EARTH, AIR, WATER
The way these elements were present in the design was:
Fire: Multiple fireplaces in all major rooms of the house
Earth: Furniture and material selections; color and texture
Air: Open sightlines throughout the house, without confinement
Water: Wall mounted water features
HISTORICAL DESIGN
While remodeling this residence, it was important to keep in mind the historical aspect of the brownstone and keep that history alive within the space. The twist in the design solution was to keep appreciating the history and value of the brownstone while also applying newer and more modern elements. This was to encourage a blend of styles and in that way incorporate creativity and earth inspired living.

DESIGN REASONING
The goal while redesigning the space was to create an almost zig-zag pattern throughout the house. This allowed for the creative aspect to really shine; the way things are placed really communicate the concept and path of travel within the remodel.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Each team member was in charge of a type of plan, whether that be floor plan, reflected ceiling plan, etc. The plan was divided into 3 sections that we each had to work on separately, but in a cohesive way. Included in my responsibilities were the space plan and program requirements.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Drawing produced in Autodesk AutoCAD; not to scale. Original scale is representative of industry standards.
The color scheme for this project was pulled from nature; browns and greens in all kinds of textures made the space comfortable, while delivering durability of finishes and furniture. The fabrics used in this project exceeded 100,000 double rubs, promising a great future and lifetime for all furniture in the space.
Reaching the numbers asked for in the program was of upmost importance for the client. A functional plan was created accordingly with everything they asked for and more.
