Every space must evoke feelings among the users that interact. All great ideas start with the simple factor of curiosity and imagination . If there isn’t both, then it’s not worth creating. Our curiosity and imagination are what drive creatives to continue to find inspiration and innovation . Inspiration and innovation leads to the creation of designs that are honest and align with the concept of the project. The interior environments that we encounter can change lives , and that should never be held back. Through design anything is achievable .

NOSTALGIC SERENITY

c laire r osen’s Vacation r esidence

Students were assigned to design a residential space for SCAD alumni. At random the client selected for this project was Claire Rosen. The goal is to transform an already existing apartment into a creative vacation retreat. Where Claire can decompress from the busy world and unlock new inspiration for future projects. The final space should encompass a small vacation space allowing for her to come back to the roots of her creative career.

CLIENT

Claire Rosen is an award-winning American Fine Art Photographer and author. Her work often showcases anthropomorphic animals, classic heroines, or still lives of evocative classical European paintings. Her work is seen as more traditional, but Claire conveys the need for animal advocacy and environmental conservation. As a child, Claire was fascinated with fantasy. Her favorite books included Alice’s Adventures of Wonderland & Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Her childhood memories are what unleash her creativity to this day. Claire wouldn’t pick up a camera until college, and it was love at first sight. She graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2006. Since, her work has been put on display at SCAD’s Atlanta Campus. Later earning a place on the 2012 & 2013 Forbes “30 under 30 brightest”, and the list goes on for Claire’s achievements. Today Claire resides with her family in Chester County, PA. Where they are restoring a historic Warwick Furnace Farm. The farm has thirteen class-one historic buildings, and breath-taking lavender hills.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

The concept of Nostalgic Serenity focuses on bringing the client back to their creative roots. Symbolic elements are placed throughout to create the sublime. By bringing the serene outdoor environment within the space with the use of texture. Proportion and scale are used to define the space to be a collaborative while creating unity. With Pops of bold colors to create emphasis and hierarchy. The use of Natural and Artificial light establishes balance and rhythm.

Where the Threads of Lives Intertwine

At Canterbury Court, every resident is welcomed into an environment that provides a strong sense of unity and hope. This community is designed to accommodate residents who might need various levels of assistance with their personal daily lives. Even though residents have led impactful lives before, they are encouraged to continue to do so. The foster environment influences social connectedness and provides new opportunities to learn. The purpose of this Studio II project is to design a new community and corridor space for the residents of Canterbury Court.

CLIENT

For the renovation at Canterbury Court, there are two main clients the community itself; and the residents who reside there. For designing the renovation of Canterbury Court the brand and demographic of the established community was taken into account. The overall mission, goals, and demographic were all kept the same as the exisiting project.

Canterbury Court Where Life Blossoms

Prelimnary Concept

CONCEPT IDEATION

This photo was taken myself on a daily walk with my dog. What I found interesting about this photo was the intertwining of two opposite things. The tree has been alive for hundreds of years, and the metal gate is a modern man-made object. The tree, no matter what is placed in its circulation, doesn’t stop the growth. The tree continues to grow and intertwines modern innovation within the tree rings. The term intertwining can refer to anything that holds a sense of connectedness. For Canterbury Court, intertwining became the general concept for the community.

MOODBOARD

CONCEPT STATEMENT

The concept of intertwined forms will promote wellness on every level at Canterbury Court. Inspired by the organic process of existing nature intertwining with modern innovations. Forms within the environment will resemble connections among the community. The use of bringing intertwined textures, it will emphasize unity and comfort throughout the space. While Building on connections between the inside and out; Biophilic design will foster humans’ connection to nature. Color defines space with wayfinding and triangulation to create smaller communities for maximum connection.

The psychological research around colors is considered in each room to convey feelings or energy. Natural and artificial light establishes balance and rhythm throughout the community. Overall, we are celebrating the threads of lives coming together.

It all b E ga N i N

2012...

A small group of people who envisioned a diverse, welcoming community where people with creative minds are encouraged to explore. Founders Garrett and Lew wanted to create a space where a diverse group of kids and adults could use tools and work together to learn skills and build things. To the city of Decatur, Georgia Garrett and Lew thought it would be a great resource for the community.

t h E first M ak E rspac E

Decatur Makers is the only All Ages makerpsace community in Georgia. Located in downtown Dectaur the 2,500 square foot makerspace has a woodshop, electronics shop, biolab, textiles shop, 3D printers, laser cutters, metal working, and more under one roof. This building was previously occupied by the First Christian Church Decatur as their gym space. Now it is a neculus for creatives in the Atlanta area to use this makerspace as a playground for imagination, a space to learn, feel empowered, and make new connections.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

The concept of unifying artistry will be the blueprint for blending the two innovative environments of a makerspace and an office. With the importance of unity, the open office layout and lack of hierarchy will make employees feel like they’re not working alone but with a community. With a unique array of amenities to establish and promote a work-life balance amongst the employees. Artistry is the process of creating and designing, and the interior environment should only feed creativity. Color and texture will be implemented to create a deeper story to be inspired by. Rythm and repetition will be used to emphasize the feeling of unity. With the end goal of designing Decatur Makers, an office that brings the imagination playground outside the physical maker space.

Color will play a key role in emphasizing the concept of unifying artistry and aligning with the branding of Decatur Makers. The original colorway didn’t seem to reflect what Decatur Makers truly provided to the community. Taking inspiration from these natural crushed shells that pull out the true colors of the materials these creatives within Dectaur Makers work with, while holding true to the green and blue colors of the original logo to bring familiarity to the interior environment, Color will be a driving force within this design to promote inspiration, with materiality having a deeper meaning just like the projects that are produced through Decatur Makers.

THE RY

CONCEPT STATEMENT

I was very hesitant at first when this project was introduced in class because I had a beautiful image pictured in my mind. Creating what I saw in my imagination was scary because it can look amazing in my head, but executing it to look how I pictured isn’t as easy. Three years ago I lost my childhood best friend to taking her own life. This is why it is called "The Ry". I wanted to show in this piece a time when I struggled with my mental health but have been able to overcome it. There is a dark base made out of ½ in. basswood and is painted black. The structure shows the darkness or demons in life. (think of a time when you had a demon in your life). The colorful string being laid on top of the structure is a representation of being able to overcome your demons and seeing the beauty in life. The strings that are spaced apart show the black structure. Its a representation that you might fall a couple of times but getting up and fighting again. The one statement I have believed in for the majority of my life is that "everything happens for a reason". Which is truly what has been able to get me to overcome the demons in my life.
