Concept Statement Project: The History Museum of Luba Kingdoom As a member of the Luba tribe from the Kingdom of Luba in Congo, I deeply value the unifying forces of music, culture, education, and religion within our community.

Throughout the history of the Luba Kingdom, music has been a powerful expression of our culture, preserving traditions and connecting us with our roots. Our rich cultural traditions have defined our values and way of life, while education has empowered individuals and fostered critical thinking. Religion has served as a unifying force, providing guidance and promoting cooperation. These elements have not only united us internally but have also connected us with other societies, fostering peace and harmony. In designing spaces that promote togetherness, I envision incorporating our cultural, educational, and religious elements. These spaces will serve as a reminder of our heritage and create a sense of belonging, fostering unity, creativity, and mutual respect for a brighter future."

Luxury Apartment

‘‘The client needs: The client has hired me to design their weekend apartment suite in Downtown Washington, Seattle. They recently purchased this apartment to enjoy the city with friends and to be closer to the restaurants and nightlife on the weekends. The client works between towns and would like you to help them finish this apartment to be a comfortable weekend getaway. The suite is a 1400 square feet one-bedroom apartment with a small exterior terrace facing North. The unit they purchased is in a newer building on the 39th floor, and they have the unique opportunity to build out the space to fit their casual weekend lifestyle. The bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, and powder room have all been built out and finished. However, the client has hired you to design the bedroom and main excellent room space. Remember that the client expects high-end finishes and materials and has yet to set a budget for this project. The client provided a rough CAD file and the current SketchUp model. You will be responsible for designing and furnishing the entire interior and providing kitchen plumbing, appliance, and finish selections.’’ quote from Brian. I just paraphrased.

Material palette

As an interior designer in this project, I want to give my client the best experience to meet his requirements in design. I want to design or create a cozy space with a modern design. I like this room's area to be relaxed and fascinating, with an excellent lighting design. Also, I want the bedroom to give a comforting vibe. The oversized headboard is the main focal point of its decor, setting the tone for a color palette based on neutrals. A few hints of gold and yellow add a chic and modern touch to the space. I want to have a simple design space for this room. I also wish to have good quality fabric, crockery, and cutlery and stick to one palette (or use complementary colors). A well-designed kitchen is a perfect combination of form and function that will give you many years of enjoying its visual style and meal preparation.

Concept Statement

Project: Name: JB restaurant

I want to introduce my project concept. My project restaurant’s name is JB’s resto. I want to create an African restaurant that will help to promote African cuisine/ food. That is why I will focus on making my space look more exotic and casual in a particular space in the building. In addition, The concept of this facility will be inspired

by African cuisine from Congo and central Africa. Therefore, this restaurant will give you a unique experience of food and light with the culinary flavors of Central Africa.

Furthermore, the ambiance of the interior design and lighting will remind the feeling of being in Africa. Therefore, the experience I want to create is not only for me as a designer but also about food and how to light people. Therefore, the appearance of the food and drink will be well-lighted, giving people the feeling of being in a unique space. When it is going to be dinner time, the light will be set in the room to provide warm-colored, low-intensity lighting.

COZY, WARM, SOCIAL

Glow Plan In the Public setting, a deliberate embrace of low-contrast lighting prevails, seemingly adhering to a harmonious 1:1 ratio. This design choice, where no element competes for attention over another, fosters an atmosphere of balanced equilibrium. The strategic utilization of diffused, warm lighting not only imparts a soothing aura to the environment but also seamlessly facilitates a sense of relaxation and sociability.

Shifting our focus to the Private realm, while it does carry a semblance of seclusion, there remains an opportunity to refine the concept. Although a sense of privacy is present, there's potential to heighten this sensation through artful design elements. Perhaps an integration of more nuanced shades or textures could cultivate a deeper connection with the notion of exclusivity and retreat, further enriching the private experience.

Rendered Elevations

The private lounge exudes an astonishing charm, captivating anyone who steps within its confines. The ambiance, meticulously crafted by the play of light, is nothing short of mesmerizing. The warm hues that grace the surroundings infuse the space with a distinctive character, casting a gentle yellow glow that envelops all who enter. Additionally, the choice of a soft, luminous color for the picture positioned on the lower left wall adds a touch of brilliance to the already inviting space.

Direct Direct light creates the overall mood of the establishment while allowing customers and employees to move easily and comfortably around the space. A lit environment provides an intimate ambiance that is ideal for upscale restaurants, special occasion dining, and lounge or bar areas. Brighter lighting is generally used in busy, lunchtime eateries, such as delis or fast-casual restaurants. Ambient light promotes diners to relax and stay longer, while brighter light is better for quick customer turnaround in high-traffic spaces.

LOW CONSTRACT Fine dining restaurants are known for delivering the highest level of customer service.

Guests expect elegant ambiance, upscale table settings, and a menu with higher price points.

But one factor that affects the quality of a fancy restaurant is lighting. It is one of the most important aspects to consider when planning a restaurant's interior design. It's an essential element with a vital role that can either make or break your dining clientele's satisfaction and experience. In most environments, lighting is a combination of natural light provided by windows or skylights and installed overhead light fixtures. so that why I want my room to look great with all the low light.
