"Design should never impose limitations."

-Jake Arnold

Designer Statement Travel has been a large influence on my life. When visiting anywhere, the small details always stand out to me whether that be the carving in the stone at The Vatican or the detailing in the floor of the bathroom at my local mall.

Sure, the big picture is the thing that most people see, but the small things are the most important part of a project, working together to make the space come harmonious. As someone who prides themselves on thinking of the small things, my passion is working to blend all of the details together to finalize a space.

TA B L E O F CO N T E N T S This course provides an in-depth study of the design, detailing, fabrication, construction, specification, and installation of interior architectural millwork, case goods, and custom furniture. The relationship between the designer and the manufacturer will be explored.

This intermediate studio course is focused on human factors in the built environment. Emphasis is placed on the principles of lighting, acoustics, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality to enhance the health, safety, welfare, and performance of the occupants in the context of a large-scale commercial project.

INTERNSHIPS

This intermediate studio course focuses on the principles of universal design as a sustainable design approach for interior living environments. Emphasis is placed on housing trends and design solutions within the context of residential, assisted care or alternative living environments.

This course introduces Revit as a digital modeling, (BIM) building information modeling, rendering and virtual reality tool for the development of residential and commercial projects.

Students learn how to interact with the Revit platform as a building design and documentation system that supports the design process, documentation, construction, and testing of a building.

This course applies the principles of best practices for experiential education to the internship field experience. Students acquire new knowledge and skills through observation and participation at an interior design firm, architectural firm, or other allied business.

This course meets the university Experiential Education graduation requirement.

01 Rogers Residence Universal Design

Client Description

Design Statement

The client is a couple in their 60’s, downsizing and moving into a home they can age in place in. The husband has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis; a degenerative disease that will eventually result in him being wheelchairbound. The wife works from home and will require a space to work. Both the husband and wife live an active lifestyle and plan to continue to remain active while living in this home. The clients have two children with children of their own that will also be visiting the home. The grandchildren are 4, 8, 12, and 14.

The Rogers residence is a rural modern home in Maine designed to accommodate the owners to age in place. This home will be considerably open and accessible to fit them, their children, and grandchildren comfortably. The priority of the home is to incorporate the design principles of Universal Design as well as ADA regulations. To keep the owners active, there is an outdoor space with a roll-in pool and hot tub and a gardening section with accessible raised planters.

Definition of Universal Design

Definition of ADA Compliance

Universal design is the design process that meets the needs of all people no matter what size, age, or ability/disability one may have. This type of design incorporates important features that may be needed for an environment in the future.

The American Disabilities Act is a civil liberty law that protects individuals with disabilities against discrimination in public places. This ADA standard gives designers dimensions to make sure a space is accessible for people with disabilities.

Custom Cabinetry Elevation

This custom made storage and cabinet system has been made to fit into a home with a person with limited reach, or someone who is wheelchair bound. These measurements are incorporated to make sure that the owner will be able to use almost every space in the cabinet. With soft close doors as well as accessible open storage this help us to complete our dining room. We also managed to fit in wine storage, which was a big ticket item for the client.

Precedent Case Study

Green Mountain Ranch

The whole home has slip resistant flooring. It also has a ‘step-free’ entrance through the garage, which is also equipped with a door opener by remote.

Although there is a step down in the living space, it can be removed and switched with a ramp for easy wheelchair access. There is a gas fireplace in the dining room that is remote controlled for easy use, there is also a remote for the thermostat.

There is a custom wheelchair accessible dining table and can expand to fit 14 guests. The kitchen has a pot filler to illuminate the carrying of heavy pots.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

Two-Point Perspective

Inspiration

Design Statement The Martin Media Room seeks to seamlessly blend the warmth and authenticity of traditional rustic elements with the clean lines and contemporary aesthetics of modern design. This space is a harmonious fusion of nature-inspired textures, reclaimed materials, and sleek, minimalist furnishings. Earthy tones, such as warm browns, deep blues, and soft grays, dominate the color palette, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Large windows allow an abundance of natural light to illuminate the room, highlighting the raw beauty of exposed wooden beams. The juxtaposition of these rustic elements against a backdrop of neutral walls and a polished concrete fireplace creates a sense of balance and sophistication.

Furniture is carefully selected to reflect both comfort and style.

Plush, oversized sofas with a colorful fabric upholstery offer a comfortable seating arrangement, while a harder square coffee table, made of reclaimed wood introduces a touch of modernity.

Adding in a rug with texture creates a cozy space to relax and enjoy the indoors while having an unobstructed view of the outdoors.

This project helped me to hone my Revit Application skills. We practiced making furniture from scratch as well as bringing in pre-modeled furniture. We also learned how to make and use materials, which brings the renderings to life. I took the opportunity of this class to make things that I would not normally do. I incorporated bright colors and textures such as the light pink walls and the blue and pink flooring. I also used this opportunity to use more fun artwork, as I tend to go more abstract with my art, using these posters was very fun.

04 Landor Associates OFFICE DESIGN

Inspiration

Client Description Originally started by Walter Landor in 1941, Landor & Fitch is the world’s largest Brand Management and Brand Consulting Firm. They brand themselves as being a company that will work with each individual, using both creativity and business smarts. Landor also states that they want to ‘make a positive difference’ in the world.

Compared to other brand management companies, Landor & Fitch is always right on the cusp of technology.

Using products and techniques that keep their clients relevant and interesting, they create beautifully colorful and fitting company branded products. They have had clients like Adias, Kelloggs, and BBC, ranging from television, airplanes and food. They will need individual work areas as well as some collaborative spaces in their office.They will need the newest modeling and animation technology as well as monitors with great displays.

Design Statement Landor & Fitch and Riley Martin Designs plan to make their latest office addition in New Orleans, Louisiana a chic, fashionable and state-of-the-art work environment for employees as well as visitors. By using Contemporary architectural details mixed with French Colonial inspired decor and furnishings, the office will blend seamlessly into the landscape of the french quarter. Keeping this history of the area will insure the success of the new office in a new location.

Team Space Selected Furniture

Using the french colonial style as inspiration, I chose to take the shapes I had found in furniture pieces and architecture to incorporate into my design. Items with delicate framing, rounded edges and soft lines stood out to me. Choosing a warmer tone for the wood in the space helps to bring in the warmth of the environment as well as making the office more welcoming.

One thing that I chose to focus on when designing this Office was community. I wanted to create a space where people could work anywhere, their desk, the lobby, the cafe, and still feel connected to their team and the work environment.

I accomplished this by having multiple different places to sit and work as well as different seating options like couches, comfy chairs, tall tables with bar stools, dining chairs and office chairs. This gives each individual working in the space the option to choose where they feel they will be the most productive or the most comfortable. Another thing I made sure to include in my office is nature. Not only did I choose wallpapers with motifs of plants, above the smaller downstairs conference room in the team space, there is a green space with local to New Orleans plants. This brings a much needed touch of life into the office. The plants in the greenspace are watered through a water collection system located on the roof of the building to maximize water usage.
