Interior Design Portfolio of Selected Works

Jessica L. Murray, CPA About Me I am a senior interior design student at the University of Georgia. During my studies, I have chosen to focus on the fusion of interior design and sustainability. I am driven by the belief that interior design serves a deeper purpose within a global, environmental context. I seek inspiration from the natural environment surrounding us and try to understand ways it can be supported by and extended into the built environment through sustainable initiatives that facilitate healthy ecosystems and human well-being. I believe these design connections to the environment assist in building stronger communities because it serves as a reminder that we can simultaneously rely on nature and seek ways to ensure its brighter future.

The Locale complex seeks to enhance various sorts of community initiatives by offering visitors a mixed-use space in downtown Athens, GA. The mixeduse complex will feature restaurants, event spaces, and a co-working environment. The design of the complex specifically focuses on occupant well-being and sustainability by utilizing design strategies from the Fitwel certification system and the WELL Building Standard.

Marbles on a Modern Front Porch | Creating a welcoming front porch environment throughout the entire complex is a way to conceptually design spaces that foster relaxation and community connections with others. A front porch is also typically associated with connection to nature, which symbolizes the focus on well-being and sustainability. Marbles is a game of intense strategy, which serves as a theoretical basis for the ways in which the coworking environment is part of a strategic plan for companies. Marbles also influence the organic component of the design aesthetic and wayfinding, while modern touches are also added for a clean-line, minimal environment that utilizes angular lines based on the iconic angled clerestory windows in the main building.

Section The section view is intended to highlight the vertical and horizontal interconnectedness of the public community spaces and the semi-private coworking spaces. Coworking occupants are able to partake in direct access to local, organic restaurants and outdoor spaces.

Longitudinal Section

Public community spaces include two local, organic restaurants along with a front lawn with games, porch with rocking chairs, and outdoor patio spaces.

Four adaptable event and exhibit spaces feature the complex’s iconic angled clerestory windows. The indoor spaces can even be opened up to the patio.

For the coworking portion, a makerspace and studio can be found on the first floor, while the second floor has open workstations and private offices.

Collaboration Spaces

Fitwel Certification The coworking portion of the Locale complex hypothetically achieved two stars from the Fitwel Certification System. Fitwel emphasizes healthy building entrances that contain appropriate lighting for safety and permanent walk-off systems for outdoor particles. This entrance also includes a highly visible informational map showcasing local amenities in the surrounding area to encourage pedestrian activity. Stair design is also positioned in a more prominent location compared to the elevator, in addition to incorporating best practices in stair design and aesthetics, to encourage greater use of stairs for activity levels.

Workstations and Phone Rooms

WELL Building Standard The Locale complex hypothetically achieved Silver status for the WELL Building Standard. Some comfort and fitness strategies implemented include providing active workstations, well-developed acoustical strategies in open spaces, and immediate access to outdoor amenities on the site. Lighting design allows for all workstations to have direct visual access to windows with views and natural lighting, along with a circadian lighting system and sensor technology. Many adaptable spaces and various settings are available for employees and business partners to reserve to engage in either collaborative or focused work.

INDIVIDUAL PROJECT | Jessica L. Murray DIRECTED STUDY| Fall 2018 PROGRAMS | AutoCAD, Revit, 3DS Max, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign SQUARE FOOTAGE | 10,800 LOCATION | Athens, Georgia The goal of the renovation of the current Board Street Studio space is to provide an uplifting and sustainably-designed office space for Axil Partner Group within the designated two-level structure (based on real-life research from accounting industry colleagues). APG seeks to break the mold when it comes to accountants. With APG’s branding statement being, “connecting the community to solutions,” it’s no secret that connection and community are of the utmost importance, along with a strong dose of camaraderie and fun. The circulation and spatial features within the design seek to facilitate more effective connections among all of these groups. The aesthetic design of the space even seeks to provide a physical manifestation of the company logo with its colorful presence and dynamic linearity. Since the founders of the firm have a passion for the outdoors, sustainability and biophilic design play a role in providing employees and clients with an overall healthy work environment.

Concept Within this fast moving and advanced economic center of Tokyo, Japan, we choose to believe that many people in Japan still hold a reverence for cultural traditions and nature.

Therefore, we designed a high-rise luxury hotel that offers patrons a safe haven of high-quality relaxation, as well as a remembrance of historical Japanese culture and tradition that ceases to leave the souls of those who live here. We invite patrons into our relaxing retreat that will seemingly impose feelings of patience and harmony with every corner turned. By keeping a close connection to nature through the use of local and natural resources of stained bamboo, as well as incorporating conceptual elements of traditional Japanese culture and geography, Odaiba Grand symbolizes the roots of Japan in a fast moving society.

Our design influences stem from traditional Japanese koi ponds and lanterns. In addition to this juxtaposition of fire and water, we emphasize the essential component of Japanese architecture that focuses on the contrasts created by using the play of light and shadow, which can be seen in the lighting design of tall light boxes and sculptural linear screens. Around every corner patrons will also experience pleasing contrasts among the many natural materials, textures, and colors used to embellish the spaces for the ultimate soothing harmony in the heart of Tokyo.

The entryway of all guest rooms feature a linear sculptural element that offers a grand entryway for guests, which allows them to have only a glimpse of the city views beyond before they continue into the suite.

The materials chosen throughout many of the main hotel spaces envelope guests in local bamboo wood tones, patina metal accents, and bright whites and yellows chosen to symbolize joy and optimism. The traditional Japanese aesthetic is further punctuated by floor-to-ceiling light boxes in the guest rooms. The design intent of the fitness center was to combine these same spa quality materials with materials that one might find in the city, hence the juxtaposition of wood and concrete used on the floors, walls, and ceilings.

Meraki Greek Restaurant Meraki Greek Restaurant is located on the second floor of the hotel.

It allows patrons to experience an evening filled with traditional Greek cuisine and an extensive selection of world-renowned wines.

The design of the space seeks to combine elements of classical antiquity with contemporary glam. The spectacular coastal communities of Greece also influence the colors and custom artwork used in the space. As patrons enter Meraki, they have the choice of a bar setting or a fine dining space that provides patrons with a choice of booth and table seating.

Serenity Spa The Odaiba Grand Serenity Spa offers traditional wet and dry treatments, along with an indoor pool, outdoor meditation garden, and a central lounge area. The main concepts of the spa center on similar concepts of the hotel regarding linearity and simplicity, in addition to serenity. Japanese orchids provide inspiration for the accents of maroon, which creates a pleasant juxtaposition with the serene pine porcelain and white linens throughout the space. Also true to traditional Japanese design, each entryway is specially designed with custom tatami mats and light boxes to provide a unique, enveloping experience before entering the treatment areas.

Objective

The objective of this project was to develop a learning center in Athens, GA that centers on sustainability education. Our team was tasked with choosing a desirable location on UGA’s campus that could be easily accessed by students and the community. The scope included exhibit design, space planning, and promotional initiatives for the learning center.

Solution

We chose the Tanner Building on UGA’s North Campus to house The Root Museum. The building was an old lumber warehouse before UGA’s acquisition, so part of our sustainable design focused on preserving the rustic historic elements existing within the space. The building has three levels, which correlated with the three main themes of our exhibit: soil health, growth, and waste management.

The target users of the exhibit space were middle-school aged children and up.

In addition to the exhibit spaces, we also included a zero waste shop, juice bar workshop area, and maker space. Overall, we chose to design the space with certain sustainability goals in mind.

Concept & Circulation We chose to design an engaging environment focused on the irregular, cyclical design of growth and replenishment within nature regarding soil health, growth from that soil, and waste management to ensure a healthy overall environment. We had a goal of creating a spark of desire within our visitors to take the concepts within the space and begin to engage in activities that support these concepts in their daily lives. We designed the facility to have a circular circulation pattern that mimics the logo and underlying concept of cyclical growth.
