The residential design for the Stewart Residence hones in on sharp sophistication. The design solution uses: innovative architectural features to achieve clean lines in the display structures.

The challenge was to differentiate the spaces while separating them.

To accomplish this, thinking of wall placement was very important.

Notable architectural features include: a double-sided partition wall with features on either side, curved fireplace, and glass walls.

Stewart Residence

Residential design

The process of material selection for the Stewart’s was rooted in choosing materials that are non-slip, accessible, and ow-pile. These factors would create a space for the Stewart’s to enjoy, without the worry of safety.

Non-slip flooring materials, round-cornered furniture pieces, and brighter contrasts were used. Brightness would ensure visibility.

An office space designed to accommodate a wide variety of employees for all needs. The design solution involves sustainable design, biophilia, and smart wayfinding.

OFFICE

OFFICE design

Design objectives

Through building the office space, the objective was to get a grasp on space planning commercial spaces, specifically workplaces. Through this, the ability to navigate office spaces will be honed. Beyond the floor plans, the ability to draw isometric drawings and orthographic projects will be accomplished.

AUTODESK AUTOCAD

AutoCAD is a CAD software oriented to drawing and modeling in 2D and 3D. It allows the creation and modification of geometric models with an almost infinite capacity to develop all types of structures and objects.

AUTODESK AUTOCAD

Lineweight is a property assigned to graphical objects, hatches, leader lines, and dimension geometry that results in thicker, darker lines.

Lineweights can be turned on and off in a drawing, and are displayed differently in model space than in a paper space layout.

Moskva dining & bar

Restaurant design

The restaurant design for Moskva is focused on culture, tradition, and modern design. The design solution uses:

Inspiration from St. Basils Cathedral in Red Square Moscow, Russia to demonstrate the culture and tradition. Modern design elements to create a cohesive solution. Integrate the rich culture and color palette of Russia into the neutral and minimalist color palette of modern design. Low emitting upholstery that contain post consumer recycled content while integrating a sustainable design focus.

Notable architectural features including drop ceiling over bar and life-size traditional Russian nesting dolls.

The goal in material selection was to choose options that are durable with ease of cleaning capabilities. The chosen materials excel in durability and cleanability. The resilient flooring chosen, although a lighter hue, ranks high in a commercial space. All of the upholstery chosen is highly rated for ease of cleaning in a commercial space.

The office design for Chicago Direct Marketing is focused on functionality, comfort, and durability. The design solution uses a selective palette as well as wayfinding to achieve proper functionality and comfort.

The challenge was to create a workable space while easing in a residential feel. Specifying materials that have commercial functionality with a residential aesthetic was critical. LEED principles are incorporated by the use of durable materials and biophilia.

Notable architectural features include custom acoustic ceilings, a custom reception desk, and custom millwork.

This office design solution is the culmination of co-working, natural elements, and a residential feel.
