RENDEZVOUS 03

LOCATION: DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES

PROGRAM: RESTAURANT & BAR

GROUP PROJECT: JAELYNN FORD

PROGRAMS USED: RHINO, ENSCAPE, PHOTOSHOP

The Rendezvous Bar and Restaurant is designed as an extension to the Standard Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. The function of Rendezvous is a place to hold professional and intimate meetings, whether you are meeting for lunch in the restaurant or to grab a drink with coworkers on the second level bar. The project development began with 2D pattern explorations that were later explored as 3D forms, creating a foundation and reference to potential furniture generation. With the developed 2D and 3D patterns we created sets of restaurant seating, lighting, partitions, and wall tiles to create spatial qualities. These patterns were deconstructed in order to understand its primary functions and strategic controls within the pattern.

Miro is one of the leading visual collaboration platforms for classrooms, offices, and group work. Their mission is to empower remote, in office and hybrid teams to collaborate without the constraints of physical location. To reflect their brand, the concept of collaboration and interconnectedness inspired my radial spacial planning that has a main central point on each floor. In the center is the main all hands space for gathering, allowing open office space, conference rooms, and other group huddle areas to be the surrounding functions Furniture pieces were also selected with the consideration of the collaboration concept where lounge pieces are mobile and can be taken down or arranged in a way depending of the function of the space.

The custom light fixture project was designed based on a chosen micrograph of a 10x zoomed image of dinosaur in clear agate. Agatized bones occur from permineralization which is the replacement of matter by minerals, helping preserve and fossilize the bones. The project development began with a dissection of the original micrograph and observing its qualities whether that would be its layering and branching techniques, repeating nodes, and its emphasized natural voids when its contrast is inverted. With these analytical observations, they were then translated and used as inspiration for my light fixture Ossy, a shorted term from the Greek root word of bone, osteo. The fixture expresses a multi-layering technique that combines small and large scale voids, in reference to the original micrograph. Ossy can be considered a focal glow fixture that diffuses light from a centralized point and can be used as an accent side table, pendant, or wall sconce featured in the fixture family.
