Interior Design Thesis I
ID 373 This senior level studio course covers the physical and psychological factors that impact hospitality environments. Students are expected to graphically demonstrate original and viable solutions. Research on human factors, codes, and lighting are combined with product mix and multi-sensory aspects of design to influence perceived value to the customer.
ID 401 Internship is a monitored program for senior-level students work part-time within the interior design industry. Field experience is an opportunity for students to apply and advance their knowledge, skills and professionalism under the supervision of a qualfied mentor.
ID 414 This senior level studio is a study of materials and fabrication techniques used in the design and construction of interiors and how these details are communicated threedimensionally and in construction documents. Content includes interior construction detailing of ceilings, walls, flooring, and millwork. Project solutions will consider the integration of building technology such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other relevant systems.
ID 325 In this advanced course, the design of an upscale, global, corporate interior reflects the comprehensive synthesis of problem identification, research, programming, preliminary design, design development, and construction documents. Problem solving centers on the creative and technical aspects involved in the universal design of commercial environments including space planning with code compliance, way-finding techniques, and specifying corporate furnishings, and materials.
ID 376 This senior elective studio covers the total process of residential design from concept development through two-and three-dimensional presentations. Building codes, covenants, restrictions create the guildelines fpr solutions; while knowledge of sustainable practices, residential business practice, construction methods, materials and custom interior architectural details are applied.
ID 302 This studio course focues on environmental issues concernting interior designers and the construction industry. Students participate in discussions on green design topics and learn about resources for improving indoor air quality and more responaible design choices. Following LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) analysis, a final project implements sustainable design methods technically and creatively.
ID 275 This course challenges students to use planning reqirements to create universal and accessible designs. Construction, electrical, and basic plumbing are taught with emphasis of these application within residential kitchens and baths. Industry relevant nomenclature and product information are used to create technical documents and custom aesthetic solutions.
ID 420 In this senior-level course staduents use critical thinking skills through research, writing, and discussion, and problemsolving. emphasis is on the identification of a design problem that could be met through more responsible design. Students choose a reserch topic with instructor approval.
Computer-Aided Design III
ID 340 Students successfully completing this course will be able to use Computer-Aided Design software to assist them in their threedimensional project development. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the integration of computer technology into the design process and an introduction to BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology.
Interior Design Thesis II
ID 421 In this senior-level studio course, students develop a viable and visual solution for the project typically researched in ID420. Solutions incorporate environmentally sound, cost effective, and responsible design methods to influence an audience using creative delivery methods.
Iceland is known for its volcanos and many large glaciers. Fire and ice are seen in many areas of Iceland’s culture. This resaurant was inspired by just that - fire and ice. The fire motif was used throughout the lower level as the fire bar. Conversely, the upper level was isnpired by ice, with the cool colors and the ice motif. The lower floor plans are part of the schematic and concept development phase. The plans are sketched design ideas for space shaping and traffic flow of the resaurant.

This project began with a SketchUp model of the reception desk as part of the specialty project. The desk was then created in CAD as an accurate 3D model. After validating the design and the frame/ support and finishing systems were done, a complete set of detailed construction documents with orthographic renderings were produced.

This group project was focused on reverse engineering. With a photograph of a built furniture piece, the goal was to produce a complete set of detailed drawings and a 3D model of the furniture. Hand sketches and descriptions were created that were to be built later. Once the drawings were entered into AutoCAD, the piece was modeled with all its structural components and finishes. 2D orthographic drawings were extracted from the 3D model in order to organize, annotate and enhance a detailed set of drawings.

This craftsman style loft has a warm and comforting feel. Different textures and lighting give the room variety. The natural colors, warm wood tones and symmetric feeling unify the space. This loft has a welcoming feel, a place for relaxing but also a place to entertain. Eco-friendly flooring and other recycled products were used throughout the space.
The floor plans to the left are for the first and second floor of the loft. They are sketches that were created during the schematic and concept development phase. These sketches help formulate ideas for the furniture layout. The floor plan above is also part of the schematic and concept development phase. It is the red lining plan, which highlights the existing structure of the building.

This modern kitchen with a vintage feel was designed for a young growing family. The kitchen’s open floor plan allows the client to be a part of the family while preparing meals. Different elements, from the custom distressed teal finish on the cabinets, the stainless appliance; hardware, pendant lights, and tile backsplash, add a variety of both modern and vintage designs. The simple, yet fun, color scheme of teal, white, and stainless, unifies the kitchen in a playful way. The two different wood tones warm the cool color palette, providing balance to the room. The built-in seating provides a workspace for anything from family dinners, eating a snack, to doing homework. The seating also provides extra storage under the benches. The use of oversized tall cabinets give this kitchen the pantry it needs.

THE CHAMBERLIN HOUSE Residential Architectural Drafting
This course is a study of basic drafting techniques that includes lines, lettering instruments, and orthographic projection. Students develop floor plans, elevations, sections, and building specifications for a single building. The Chamberlin house was as a whole designed from the ground up by me for a friend. Starting with just a site plan (to the right) of a corner lot, each student could design theirs or a friend’s dream home. This is a 6 bedroom, 10 bathroom dream home. Mr. Chamberlin has a love for music, so the basement is designed with a full sound studio with sound proofing elements.

Using SolidWorks software, this course focuses on 3D solid parametric modeling in an engineering design environment. Hands-on learning in basic sketch profiles with constraint based 2D shape control is studied. Part design, Boolean operations, placed features, parametric features, dimensions and constraints, design modification of solid parts, analyzing and documentation of the part or parts are also covered. Bi-directional control of 3D model to 2D part drawing is studied. The use of rapid prototyping techniques for model creation and design, analysis and redesign are incorporated.

Overall, interning at Interior Perfections has provided plenty of hands on experience in design, with a small business aspect. Amy, the proprietor, was very welcoming and dedicated her time to teach me as much as possible in the brief time. I am forever thankful for this enriching experience from Amy Dineen for making me the stronger designer that I am today.
