PROJECT BRIEF

evelop a unique microbrewery brand and design for its analog and digital environments.

Explore the interdisciplinary nature of design, where interior design intersects the realms of branding, visual communication, way finding, architecture, adaptive reuse, urban design, furniture, signage, and lighting. Apply principles of universal design, ergonomics, and proxemics to the design. You will also articulate a vision for the microbrewery’s impact to communities or ecosystems beyond the physical walls. In the spirit of systems thinking, the microbrewery design will work across a variety of scales and modalities to be greater than the sum of its parts. The site will be the Ludlow Garage in Cincinnati, Ohio.

CONCEPT

The concept for Spectrum Brewery is transparency in all that we do. We strive to be transparent about who we are, what we do, and what we believe in. We have opened up our brewery to make our processes transparent. We give tours, explaining why we do what we do and helping you learn more about us and our beer.

FULL BRAND STORY

Spectrum Brewery strives to support all people, especially those who identify as a part of the LGBTQ+ community, providing a certified Safe Space in Cincinnati, Ohio. We have partnered with Brooklyn Brewery, the Human Rights Campaign for the Greater Cincinnati Area, Cincinnati Pride, and other local LGBTQ+ organizations to organize events and promote equality and love in the area.

We strive to provide a colorful, clean, and sophisticated environment to create variety in the area.

Our company and all our employees have gone through the Safe Space Training Program which “aims to reduce the often unwelcoming and even hostile environments in which LGBTQ+ people navigate in their daily lives.” They work to create “a more welcoming environment at work, school, and in our communities’’ (Safe Space Training Website).

COMMUNITY SPACE

The large, infinite, community table is meant to be a space for all to sit together.

The wall mural is inspired by the current pride flag.

WINDOWS

The views into the brewery and large windows in the facade allow views of everything that is going on. Spectrum’s goal is to be transparent in all we do.

ACRYLIC PANELS

The clear acrylic panels allow all guests to see everything that is going on both in the public spaces and in the private brewery.

ARCHES

Throughout the entire brewery, the idea of this abstracted rainbow was used in the form of arches: in opening, the logo, the wallpaper, tables, and overhead panels.

SPECIALTY BEER

The brewery offers many types of beer, but our two main types are our classic Spectrum IPA and our Obergefell IPA, celebrating Jim Obergefell and his contribution to the LGBTQ+ community.

PROJECT BRIEF

PEX Spine and Performance Chiropractic office reached out wanting to redesign their office. The layout and design no longer fit their needs. They asked Elysa to create a re-design of their space including changing the floor plan and layout, the finishes, and designing new custom desks for their reception and offices. or this project I drew the existing layout and workshop-ed new ideas with Elysa. I helped source inspiration on the front end of this project. I helped her pick out and send sample finishes to the owner. I drew up sections and elevations of the new additions such as the desks, offices, and privacy walls. My biggest contribution is the renderings of the re-design, making adjustments as the project has progressed.

ABOUT HAVENLY

From there they collaborate with the professional interior designers online to design their dream space. They boast “interior design for real people.”Clients can choose from a mini or full package. The full package includes idea boards, a concept board, and 3D renders. Virtual meetings are encouraged but not required.

IDEA BOARDS

Idea boards help discover the client’s style direction and what they need in their space.

Designers use the Idea boards to gather feedback from our client on how they are interpreting their style and the initial products you have sourced.

Idea boards consist of 3 inspiration images, a title and description, textures, and call-outs.

CONCEPT BOARD

The Concept board is a 2D visual that showcases all of the product recommendations and gives the client a chance to provide feedback on the design direction before seeing it in their space. The goal of the Concept is to provide your client a complete picture of all the items you’re recommending based on their style, budget, and preferences. The designer gathers all the information and feedback that the client has provided so far, and translates it into a 2D representation of the design as a whole.

3D DESIGN

The Design phase shows the client the vision in a 3d version of their actual space. The 3d design phase will be the highlight of the design process and provide a “Wow” moment to your client when they see their home’s potential. The 3D Design phase will allow the client to experience the potential of the design crafted together by seeing it come to life in their actual space These renders are made with Havenly’s own rendering software, Studio.

PROJECT BRIEF

he Hollis House Transitional Shelter strives to create a space that can provide housing for those who need it, and teach them valuable life skills leading to independent living once again.

The intention of this shelter is that those who pass through our threshold will enter into a new life of independence and joy.

T

o begin this project, the designer began with 6 months of research and compiled it all into a comprehensive research paper. This paper created the outline of the project with research on the users, the site, the project type, and many more aspects of the project.

CONCEPT

The concept of this project is thresholds. Merriam Webster defines threshold “as the place or point of entering or beginning.” By passing through a threshold, you are entering into something new.

This can be a physical threshold, like a doorway that leads to a new room or space. As a person heals or enters a new chapter of their life, they can pass through a figurative threshold. Whether physical or figurative, this threshold signals something new.

This concept of entering into a new space is important for spaces like shelters, as residents hopefully come to get the help they need to enter into a new life. As they enter the first physical threshold into the shelter, they are entering into a space where they are supported in this journey to independence. They are taking that first step towards the figurative threshold that marks the change from their life of dependence to their life of independence.
