I graduated with honors in 1998 when I received my AA degree for Interior Design. Shortly before graduation I became an invaluable asset for Camille Fanucci of Interior Design Concepts. I quickly learned what a designer does, established contacts at SFDC, selected fabrics, furniture, and building materials. I met with clients professionally, created furniture plans, wrote proposals, purchase orders, and invoices with specialized interior design software.
In 2006 I began my own interior design business. I made true, long lasting connections with my clients, and their families. I continue to create exquisite designs leading a team of installers, fabricators, and contractors.
I have performed work in California, Arizona, and Seattle. I enjoy traveling for work and pleasure. Ideally, I would like to tackle projects throughout the United States and abroad.
I am affiliated with ASID, IIDA, and NEWH. I graduated with my Bachelors Degree in the Spring of 2023, and currently working towards the NCIDQ exam.
Team Assignment to select a site for an EcoBlock, and empty area that was previously disturbed land or a grey field site with the intention to a restore previously polluted areas. Client wants a mission/ concept statement.
The site is Pier 40 in San Francisco which is 89 King St., San Fancisco. A full study on climate, solar data, rainfall estimates for the area with a formal site plan and site section. Implementation of site analysis to form a SWOT (strength/ Weakness/ Opportunity/ Threat ) analysis.
Water reduction strategies need to be address for sustainablility: Capture, Recycle , Conserve- Catchment systems, plumbing, landscaping, storm water management.
Client Goals
Achieving Net-Zero and even Net-Positive outcomes for the EcoBlock is the project goal. Design ways to harvest energy on the site. The goal is to offset your energy use with on-site renewables so your net energy use annually equals zero, or netzero with solar thermal, passive heating and cooling/ Daylighting/ and onsite renewable energy.
Team Name: Evergreen Experts
Team Members: Allison Ayers, Ana Vatavi, Wen Wei, Melody Fields
The Mission
Our Mission is to provide a sustainable, environmentally friendly place to help ease the burden of those experiencing homelessness.
Pier 40 is located along the Embarcadero, south of the Bay Bridge, in the South Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. The site is managed by the Port of San Francisco. Pier 40 and the adjacent waterfront was recently redeveloped to provide improved boat launch facilities, restrooms, parking,
Proximity to Other Sites: The closest existing site to the south is the Mission Creek Boat Launch (SF15), which has a low-float dock and ADA gangway. Further to the south is the Pier 52 Boat Launch (SF7), which has a low float dock with transfer step and kayak assist from an ADA gangway. To the north, Pier 1.5 (SF16) provides a high-freeboard dock from an ADA gangway. is managed by the Port of San Francisco. Pier 40 and the adjacent waterfront was recently redeveloped to provide improved boat launch facilities, restrooms, parking,
The Concept is to create a sustainable, net-zero place in San Francisco to help ease the burden of those experiencing homelessness through community outreach programs
Inspired by the need for mental health awareness and lack of quality facilities in the Bay Area that allow the public healing so they can advance in their lives.
The Interiors will be rich with Biophilic Design, bringing nature indoors with clear views and use sun for daylighting to minimize interior electricity. Layered open areas will utilize the sun in healthy ways with terraces that provide water filtration and room to step outside for fresh air and natural sunlight.
Sun Study
To evaluate the sun’s patterns throughout the year and locate best location for windows, doors, daylighting abilities, green roof, solar panels,
Daylighting
The Sun Studies give direction for window placement, size, & best use of interior room planning. Note: Sun Study and Daylighting done by teammate Allison Ayers
