Jenna K Hartmann Interior Design Portfolio 2024

Ethos

I view interior design as one of the most personal industries we have in the world. We are entrusted with creating a specific environment, and therefore, should be executed thoughtfully not only to users, but to the environment we are creating. It’s not just about 4 walls and a sense of dwelling, we have the responsibility and ability to control one’s environment and emotions.

I have a multifaceted appreciation for all types of design and the process that comes with it. I find it nearly impossible to find one specific passion within it, but I do find myself drawn to elements of historic preservation and adaptive reuse projects, while maintaining a responsibility to sustainability, embodied energy and life cycle of materials, as well as following the logic of one of my favorite designers, Mies van der Rohe, LESS IS MORE.

Apparently I make a Zoolander face while using any kind of BIM software......

a longing for a home you can no longer return to, or that never was. [here-ieth]

b rity Reflection Cruise Ship

: Hospitality - Cruise

aribbean/Celebrity Cruises

vit, Photoshop, InDesign

Concept: an era can be encapsulated for a moment in time. imitated, but it can never be the first, ever again. it becomes a renaissance. what makes it real are the tangible aspects of the era, making one feel that they are experiencing this era for the first time. encapsulate centers around an era within a vessel, encompassing you in another time, within a contained space. where one is unencumbered, yet still the at the center of everything.

Considerations

IMO Certified Materials

Material not to be capable of producing excessive quantities of smoke & toxic products or not to give rise to toxic hazards at elevated temperatures.

Therefore, materiality must be:

• Flame Retardant

• Light-Weight

• Antimicrobial

The no.1 threat to a ship is fire, the second is infectious disease. Being able to control the spread of any of kind of outbreak is vital to all on board.
