Madeline Sevigny Interior Design Portfolio

About Me

Born and raised near the Twin Cities in Minnesota, I have been surrounded by design and architecture from a young age. Having found my passion for art and design at the mere age of five, I have grown up living life through the arts with a creative eye and need for creativity. After high school, I continued my education at Iowa State University at their CIDA Accredidated Interior Design program where I have immersed myself in hospitality, retail, residential, and commercial design. I hope to continue my career in design after graduation to develop into a world-class interior designer.

Come, Travel With Us...

AMA Plaza, Chicago, Illinois - approx.136,000 sq. ft.

Design Concept

Come, Travel With Us is rooted in creating a nurturing and welcoming environment specifically tailored to travelers seeking comfort, security, and a touch of wanderlust charm. It merges the warmth of a familiar home with the allure of global travel, offering our assisted-living residents a unique and enriching experience. The project was designed to encourage team collaboration to create a cohesive display of graphics with a centralized concept.

The design envisions a space that not only provides exceptional care but also honors the wanderlust spirit of our residents. The clients have a country club feel; they are an exclusive group of affluent, older individuals who have worked hard and accumulated substantial wealth throughout their lives. The retirees have chosen to spend their golden years in an environment that offers luxury, comfort, and a sense of community. Travel is a shared passion among our clients, and they have a deep appreciation for exploring new horizons. However, the passage of time has brought with it certain age-related restrictions and considerations. While their adventurous spirit remains undiminished, they now must carefully navigate the challenges that come with aging. By harmoniously blending comfort, accessibility, and a global aesthetic, the AMA Plaza creates a haven where travelers can find a comforting retreat and a source of inspiration.

Hidden Gem 02

British Columbia, Canada - 270 sq. ft.

Design Concept

The microhome project is designed, hypothetically, for a young professional couple with a passion for plant and wildlife rehabilitation. The couple has learned the importance of living small to create a bigger impact in the flora and fauna community. Inspired by the concept of greenhouses, Hidden Gem, is a sustainable “greenhome” embodying authentically sustainable values. Its modern design, veiled with glass, creates a sanctuary for wildlife revitalization. Not only providing an oasis to its residents, the microhome is a paperless structure using a natural water filtration system while functioning as an oxygen-rich habitat powered by solar energy. Hidden Gem allows the couple to grow together and flourish seamlessly with the surrounding wildlife.

The purpose of greenhouses is to provide warmth and humidity to enhance plant growth. Plants need moisture, warmth and light to grow. A greenhouse stabilizes the growing environment by buffering the ambient temperature and protecting the plants from extreme cold. With increased wildfires around the world, forest fires have been a pressing issue. Recently, Canada has been unfortunate to have devastating fires near the British Columbia region. The loss of so many trees does not only cause mental and physical health issues for humans, but destroys the home of many various wildlife creatures.

Timeless Vintage in The Next Era 03

La Rinascente, Rome, Italy -- 247.57 sq. ft.

Design Concept

Timeless Vintage in the Next Era describes the new shop-in-shop of the luxury brand, Dior, which will be located inside the department store La Rinascente in Rome, Italy. The retail design project pushes the boundaries of designing for a different culture and location. The project focuses on creating a precise concept statement with a compelling attraction to bring customers into the shop. It also emphasizes the importance of working in a team environment.

Christian Dior, a French brand rooted in history, integrates chic vintage aspects into the never-ending changing modern era. The Dior shop-in-shop creates a space that fully encompasses the fundamental components of the brand. To maintain the historic classicism correlated to Dior’s collections, regal patterns will be accented throughout the store to create a sense of timeless couture. Contrasting natural materials such as wood with angelic marble will achieve an elegantly classic yet modern aura. Adding displays in geometric forms also compliments the ideas of elegant femininity. The new store enhances the next generation of Dior’s fashion with a refined color palette of sophistication, ameliorating the brand’s vision. Integrating a new set of luxurious materials, patterns, and accents to the Dior shop-in-shop provides the perfect atmosphere for clients to immerse themselves in a setting of upscaled haute couture.

La.b Pop - Up Shop 04

La Rinascente, Rome, Italy -- 1,075 sq.ft

Design Concept

The La.b Pop-Up Shop was designed as a temporary shop located in the atrium of La Rinascente, a department store in the center of Rome, Italy. The project focused on creating a design pitch to the creators of the brand La.b. La.b is an artisanal leather goods workshop that links the territory of Latina, Italy with its merchandise. The brand creates a bond between the individual and the foundation with cultural imprinting and indentification. The entirety of the retail design project was completed using the programs Revit, Photoshop, and InDesign.

The pop-up shop embodies the intimacy and strength of the seven women who created the start-up brand. As customers approach the store, they feel a sense of warmth and comfort with the pleasant ambient lights glowing between the organic partition walls making up the store. The shop also expresses an interactive element shown through touchable screens, which creates an aura of mysticism and attraction. With the primary color palette and soft materials, the La.b Pop-Up Shop attracts both an older and younger audience to help the brand’s message continue to flourish.

Emma Watson’s Aspen Chalet

Aspen, Colorado -- 5, 563.103 sq. ft.

Design Concept

With an emphasis on luxury residential design, Emma Watson’s Aspen Chalet portrays the importance of tailoring a design to a particular client. The vacation home focuses on creating a cohesive spatial layout throughout the various spaces. During the first stages of the design process, multiple factors related to the Place Attachment Theory were incorporated into the final design solution. The factors primarily emphasized within the design were familiarity, privacy, and personalization.

The Aspen Chalet is located outside of downtown Aspen, CO, overlooking a glorious lake. The interior is personal and inviting with a European influence portrayed through the architectural elements. The use of whites and creams makes the place feel familiar and comfortable. The home will have many luxurious amenities like a grand library to suit Emma Watson’s love for knowledge and daily journaling. The entire house will have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a den, a kitchen, a dining area, a living room, and a garage. Each space is perfectly tailored to Emma Watson’s ideals of an elegant, modern, and cozy home.

Inspired by natural beauty and wonder, the paintings reflect my interpretation of the world. Two different types of paints are used to create my portraits; acrylic and oil paint. The duller hue of acrylic paint provides a mystical aura to “Through the Woods,” while the vibrancy in oil paint make the colors of each season pop off the canvas creating visual interest.
