From A Different Angle 2

This residence located in Zionsville, Indiana is home to a family of four that loves to entertain. The floor plan for the residential renovation was designed by looking at the space from a different angle, specifically a 45° angle. Because of this, the circulation of the space takes on unique forms, leading the occupants of the home through the main socialgatheringpoints and into the back yardwhichfeaturesacustomdesigneddeck.

Adventure Awaits

In Indianapolis, the renovation of Impact Fairfax Church’s youth recreation spaces presented an opportunity to work with a real client before entering the industry. In collaboration with another designer, a welcoming and fun environment was created for the church members to enjoy.

References to religious quotes and stories inspired thedesignandhelpedtoconnectwiththeclientsaswell.

Adventure Awaits Children’s Ministry

Designing the children’s space of the church allowed for whimsy when deciding on a theme. With limited opportunities to make changes to the structure of the space, the ‘Biomes’ theme created the desired environment. Transforming the space, custom elements shaped the experience the users willhave.Thethemewasreinforcedusingelementslikeacousticfelttocreate a river through the main space as well as custom wall applications to differentiatebetweenthebiomesineachdesignatedspace.
