MATEO E. UMAÑA INTERIOR DESIGNER

Growing up in Canada, I had the opportunity to be surrounded by the amazing Rocky Mountains which are fully of beauty and life year around. I have always had a passion for sports and design, playing on multiple high-level soccer teams and from a young age trying to invent or design the next big thing!

While figuring out careers I went from industrial design and learning AutoCAD when I was 13. As I got older I started working in carpentry, plumbing, and renovations to finally going to Liberty University to study Interior Design. Now as I am about to graduate, I have a passion for commercial design where I can hopefully design spaces that are inviting individuals that are unique to client’s needs, embraces all cultures, and improves quality of life. Even though I am graduating I hope to continue to grow in experience and knowledge of our amazing and massive world of design.

Exterior Shot of the Building using Sketch Up and Lumion.

The vision behind MainVue Tower was to encapsulate the quintessential Virginia aesthetic with a red brick exterior, complemented by sections made of concrete to add a dynamic touch.

In response to Lynchburg’s remarkable growth and burgeoning population, my goal was to contribute to the charm of Main Street while embarking on something innovative. The building boasts a range of amenities, including multiple restaurants, a ground-floor cafe for convenient street access, and a distinctive two-story grocery store with diverse food options on the second floor perfect for both Lynchburg visitors and locals seeking a quick bite. Additionally, there’s a dedicated retail space and spacious hotel floors featuring an atrium that brings the beauty of greenery indoors.

Beyond aesthetics and functionality, sustainability lies at the core of the design. Incorporating sustainable attributes is not just a choice; it’s a commitment to resource conservation and intelligent design. The conscious use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and a thoughtful approach to environmental impact underscores the importance of creating spaces that contribute positively to our community and the planet.

MainVue Tower During the course of this project, I had the privilege of engaging in a constructive dialogue with the City Planner at the City of Lynchburg’s office. Our discussions centered around the essential elements that contribute to an exemplary urban environment, as well as an exploration of perceived deficiencies within Lynchburg’s downtown area. Informed by this insightful conversation and supplemented by ongoing research, I formulated a conceptual framework outlining key components for the project. Subsequently, I translated these ideas into visual representations through the creation of detailed sketches.

FOREST COVE NURSING HOME

Class: FACS 300 - Nursing Home Project

Welcome to Forest Cove Nursing Home, a visionary project where the essence of senior living is redefined through thoughtful design and a deep understanding of our residents’ needs.

At Forest Cove, we’ve strategically placed atriums throughout the facility to break up spaces while infusing nature and natural light indoors. This design approach creates a tranquil and captivating environment, acknowledging the therapeutic benefits of a well-crafted atmosphere. Beyond our walls, our abundance of outdoor spaces, coupled with a greenhouse and garden, beckons residents to embrace the outdoors, engage in multi-sensory experiences, and actively contribute to their community. We’ve embraced a holistic approach that goes beyond physical spaces, offering opportunities for residents to participate in growing fresh produce, fostering connections through shared fruits and vegetables. Forest Cove is more than a nursing home; it’s a home designed with empathy and tailored to the unique needs of those seeking an extra helping hand, ensuring they age with dignity, purpose, and a genuine sense of belonging.

The objective of this project was to acquire proficiency in a new software. I approached this goal by completing the project twice: initially using Revit to gain insights into its functionality and operation, and subsequently utilizing a combination of AutoCAD and SketchUp for the second iteration. To enhance the visual appeal and realism of the designs, I incorporated Enscape to add furniture and generate detailed renderings of the various spaces.

Class: FACS 442 - Lighting

I aimed to blend the natural ambiance of the ocean and ship docks with the serene experience of stargazing for Skippers Restaurant. Opting for darker tones in paints and materials, I utilized strategic lighting, including sparkling lights, glass chandeliers, and sophisticated elements, to guide guests’ attention and evoke a sense of wonder. Upon entering, guests are drawn upward, experiencing a simulated “night sky” while enjoying well-lit dinners. This design not only reconnects individuals with nature but also ensures a safe and captivating dining environment. The staff benefits from reliable lighting, enhancing thoughtful and secure guest service, while emergency lighting is incorporated for safety measures. Our ultimate focus is on prioritizing guest safety, comfort, and engagement.
