IMPACT OF CULTURE ON DESIGN; RESIDENCE FOR THE ROGER FAMILY

SPRING 2023

LOCATION: 2 EAST 67TH STREET, NYC, NY

PROGRAMS USED: CANVA, AUTOCAD, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP AND HAND RENDERING

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The renovation project at 2 East 67th Street in Manhattan involves two apartment floors in a pre-war CoOp building designed by Rosario Candela in 1928. The twelve-floor building with fifteen residential units offers key amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, private package storage, elevator service, and central facilities like a laundry room and gym. With its spacious design, high ceilings, and numerous windows, the Co-Op provides an airy atmosphere Its prime location across from Central Park not only offers a spectacular view but also fills the space with abundant natural light

DESIGN CONCEPT

As you strolled through the bustling streets of New York City, you were surrounded by the excitement of one of the world's largest cities. The apartment's design concept sought to replicate the avant-garde energy of city life by incorporating vibrant colors and dynamic lines. Contrast was emphasized, with bright colors set against neutral spaces, creating a lively atmosphere. Texture and pops of color excited the eye, maintaining a lively feel. The result was a harmonious blend of contrast, repetition, and movement, offering both comfort and luxury reminiscent of the Upper East Side community.

MASTER BATHROOM

S I T E P L A N

The site for a co-op building was developed in New York City, situated across from Central Park, at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 67th Street.

A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT LOCATED IN MARFA, TEXAS.

SPRING 2022

LOCATION: MARFA, TEXAS

PROGRAMS USED: CANVA, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP AND HAND RENDERING

PROBLEM STATEMENT

A couple in their forties, relocating from Austin to Marfa, purchased a 1920s single-family house. Client one, a full-time painter working downtown, and client two, a freelance writer, seek a redesign to fit their needs They value design and art, frequently entertaining guests Priorities include a luxury kitchen, an open entertaining space for thirty people, and modern living and dining areas seating six to eight. The chosen color palette will be inspired by a painting, and a wall of windows and doors will highlight desert

mountain views While a full guest room isn't necessary, they desire a multifunctional space that perfectly aligns with their artistic and entertaining lifestyle in their new Marfa home.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Imagine walking through an open field, enveloped in the warmth and light of the sun. The Marfa Casita

Project aims to replicate this feeling of serenity and peace by infusing movement into the space Large windows ensure ample natural light, while neutral colors create a serene atmosphere. Modern clean lines guide the eye seamlessly, and contrasting textures add excitement. This combination of elements forms a harmonious flow, echoing the peaceful rhythm of an open field

A warm amber glow flooded the space inhabited, providing a sense of comfort and invitation. Embracing the sophistication of the Art Deco movement entails incorporating sleek geometric lines, warm inviting tones, luxurious materials, and exquisite craftsmanship to promote a cozy elegance. The geometric forms, bold angular shapes, and sleek curves created an interesting appeal to the lights. The warm palette of materials such as bronze, black polished metal, opulent and etched glass created amber hues that flooded the space. These tones emitted a comforting and inviting glow. Natural light revived the space that was dark and cold, and the consistency from the amber glow repeated throughout the building. The classy Art Deco lighting did not compromise the functionality. The objectives of the fixture were to illuminate the space and serve as a statement piece.

CREATIVE MEDIA

As we brainstormed fixture ideas, repurposing old books caught our interest. Books tell stories, much like the interior of a space. This fixture could serve various purposes, such as a reading lamp in a bedroom or office. The words on the pages formed patterns and rhythms, while the paper's shape created intriguing shadows. Despite the sharp edges, the crumpled pages emitted a peaceful ambiance. Our choice was to use refurbished pages from "Peace Like a River," along with a stained lampshade and an electrical light kit. This creative approach resulted in an antique-style fixture.

SKETCHES WHILE ABROAD

COLOSSEUM SKY LINE OF FLORENCE, ITALY CANAL OF VENICE, ITALY

During my Maymester in Italy, I sketched numerous scenes capturing the beauty of the Italian landscape and architecture. Each sketch reflected the unique charm and character of the places I visited, from famous architectural buildings to tranquil canals.

Drawing in Italy was a memorable and enriching experience that allowed me to immerse myself in the rich artistic heritage of the country. These sketches hold cherished memories of my time spent exploring amidst the stunning backdrops of Italy.
