ABOUT ME SHANNON McNAMARA I am an aspiring Interior Designer in my third year of the Interior Architecture and Design Program at Florida State University. I believe that every space should be an experience and with use of a carefully curated design, the designer has the ability to enhance the user’s experience. I enjoy creating spaces that are not only thoughtful, but inspiring. I am highly-motivated and enjoy the cohesive combination of creativity and planning that Interior Design offers. My goal is to positively impact those that encounter the space I have designed. I am currently looking to find an internship with a commercial Interior Design firm that specializes in hospitality design to gain experience and amplify my creative abilities.

RIPPLE FOODS OFFICE PROPOSAL CHATTANOOGA, TN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Assigned with the task of designing a workspace for an innovative company within the wellness market sector, Ripple Foods was selected. Extensive pre-design research was completed, including workplace design studies and location analysis. The company’s organizational stucture and values were researched and a site location that would support the client’s future goals and growth was chosen. The space was designed in accordance to the project parameters and offers flexibility of use and intentional spaces to promote creativity.

We are Ripple.

We are built on th even the smallest have far reaching

ANALYSIS & SUMMARY OF CLIENT Ripple was started in 2015 and they make plant-based protein beverages that are dairy-free. The two CEO’s and founders are Adam Lowry and Neil Renninger. Both are scientists, with Neil Renninger having an impressive background of environmental work- including helping develop an anti-malaria treatment. Adam Lowry is the founder of the brand Method and used his prior knowledge from that company to help build the foundation for Ripple. Ripple’s values include making the most out of life and helping our planet in the process. Their goals align with their values as they wanted to create a food source that tastes good and nourishes one’s body, while helping keep this planet healthy and reduce their carbon footprint. Ripple set out with the mission to change the way people think about dairy alternatives and become a leading brand among the dairyfree world. They have succeeded in meeting both those goals as they have now “pulled in $110 million in capital since 2014” and offer products that have smaller carbon footprints than both milks and nut-milks. Ripple only uses natural ingredients and their product bottles are made from “100% post-consumer recycled plastic that is 100% recyclable”. Lowry believes that “raising money is not an indicator of success” and sustainability is more important to this company than the amount they make. Ripple embodies their philosophy of “the ripple effect” and acknowledge that while making plant-based foods won’t save the world, they believe it can help make a difference.

DESIGN IMPLICATIONS • • •

RIPPLE FOODS OFFICE PROPOSAL CHATTANOOGA, TN

DESIGN CONCEPT Ripple believes that any small change has the ability to make a larger impact on our world. Inspired by the company’s motto, this space will be created LOUNGE with the concept of the ripple effect in mind. The fluidity of water is always changing and spaces within this office will offer flexibility of use and adaptability WORK for the user’s needs. Adhering to the client’s STATIONS desires of promoting well-being within the workplace, the idea of the ripple effect inspires movement and creativity. Organic elements will promote tranquility throughout and ample natural lighting will help incorporate the outside world into the workspace, as environmental awareness is a driving factor behind Ripple’s goals. An open floor plan will be utilized to encourage collaboration between employees and circulation will be directed through various methods, including lighting and contrast throughout the space. A single drop of water into the ocean may seem small but it still causes a ripple and has the possibility to create a large wave, much like what Ripple has done by creating a plant-based alternative to dairy.

LEVEL 2 WORKSPACE PERSPECTIVE

10

This space is where the Sales and Accounting department workstations are located, pictured on the left side of the image.

An open floor plan was utilized with flooring transitions used to distinguish separate spaces. Pictured in the foreground on the right side of the image is the feature staircase, which was inspired by the company’s own name. In the background, the private offices of the CEOs and CFO can be seen. These circular offices were chosen over the traditional office to incorporate the concept of the ripple effect into the space. Each office is 10’ across and offers 80 square feet of space, more than the traditional private office provides. To ensure privacy, the glass is frosted halfway up the wall.

FEATURE STAIRS Inspired by the rippling of waves, this custom staircase is an eye-catcher from both levels. A semi-circle glass wall is placed on Level 3 that acts as a railing system as well as a decorative element. A glass tube is centered between the spiral stairs with a custom raindrop chandelier located inside, both extending the length of the two floors. A circular bench is wrapped around the base of the tube on Level 3, providing cane-detection and a place to sit.

The Workcafe is located on Level 2 and is a space for employees to socialize and rejuvinate during the work day. *NOT TO SCALE

RECEPTION PERSPECTIVE Drawing the eye as soon as one walks in, the neon logo of Ripple is placed in front of a water wall. The water wall was chosen to embody the concept of the space, with literal ripples of water flowing. This feature also acts as a white noise to help with the acoustics of the open reception area.

RDI STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION GROCERS INC.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION An annual student design competition put on by the Retail Design Institute’s Ohio Chapter. This year’s chosen category was “Beauty Inside a Grocer”.

A space was provided inside a grocer’s aisle system that can expand up to 200 sq. ft. larger than the retailers’ program needs. Store design is a holistic process, where retail design consultants that have turnkey design services have the advantage of understanding and delivering the marketing brand promise at the retail level. Services now offered by retail design consultants include; brand strategy, consumer research, identity design, graphic design, lighting design, interior design, architecture, technology integration, store planning and merchandising. The process was divided into three phases: programming, concept design and final concept design development. As industry experts, RDI is concerned that the ability to conceptualize and ideate on paper is being lost to the limitations of 3D modeling computer programs, so initial concept ‘line work’ is required to be hand drawn. Research was conducted on the potential consumer market and branding was apart of the creative design process.

RDI’S REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Grocer Inc. (“RETAILER”) intends to create a conceptual beauty “experience” shop-in-shop prototype to attract key cosmetics brands to migrate into the supermarket channel. The fixture level concept must be suitable for the future roll out and reinterpretation into other format types. Retailer intends to select a concept and design process suitable for the future roll out of Retailer stores.

The objective is to design a supermarket beauty fixture concept that will speaks to the concerns of the cosmetic companies, but still will adapt to the needs of a traditional supermarket. To creat a propietary over aching ‘envolope’ concept and brand positioning; the alows for indiviual cosmetic brand apaptations. To align the experience to the store environment and intended consumer journey to create an effective design that conveys the physical brand to the guest while innovation though merchandising, sales process, services, technology, and operations.

COSMETIC ENTRY PERSPECTIVE

18

In this perspective, one can see the drop-down banner featuring the “Purely Cosmetics” branding. The suspended ceiling grid is located inside the banner, with built-in linear lighting panels. The feature end shelves are located on either side of the entrance. These shelves are intended to feature the current trending brands and include bottom shelving for back-stock product, back-lit displays for branding and a marquee on top for brand’s names. Located in the center are dual digital touchscreen displays to aid consumers in locating products or discovering new ones.

RETAIL DESIGN STUDIO III

The main area of the cosmetic shopping space is featured in this perspective.

Gondolas are shown on either side, with each 4’ of space allocated for a particular brand. The “Beauty Bar” is seen in the back of the perspective, a space where consumers can sample cosmetic products in the store. Located in the center are two tables with marble counter-tops, providing an open space for customers to set down their goods as they shop or an extra space for the retailer to place more feature products.

Additional storage is located underneath the center tables and bottom of the gondolas to store back-stock. Rose quartz terrazzo is used as an accent flooring feature to incorporate the pastel pink color scheme. The bright pops of yellow accent color are incorporated with use of acrylic panels to divide the gondola spaces.

COSMETIC SPACE PERSPECTIVE CONCEPT Influenced by the surrounding grocery store, this beauty stop-and-shop will promote a feeling of being “so fresh and so pure” to those who encounter the space. Only natural and organic products will be carried and the well-being of the consumers is the main priority. Clean and linear elements with help enhance one’s equanimity as they browse the “Purely Cosmetics” aisle.

CONCEPT

C B The library attracts many visitors for various reasons.

Often, one may visit a library to study A

for an approaching exam or prepare for an event that will require mental clarity and focus.

Studying is often stressful for most individuals and the surrounding space can often play C a role on one’s mental dexterity. This space will promote the concept of equanimity, which is defined as the “evenness of [one’s] mind under stress”. Organization, tranquility, and the promotion of one’s well-being will be prominent throughout the space. An open floor plan will be used with distinguishable public and private spaces. Organic forms integrated with linear features will be used to give a natural and modern feel to the surrounding space.

Ample natural lighting will be provided as it is proven to improve one’s mental health and focus. Earth tones and green accents will be used throughout, as green is proven to enhance cognitive ability and will have a positive effect on the user experience while occupying this space. Guests of the library will experience composure and a clearer state E of mind by interacting with this space tailored to help one achieve equanimity.

LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE In addition to redesigning the ideal library space for Strozier Library, the second segment of the project was to create a library space one might use ten years into the future. This requires the designer to consider the needs and wants of future users and critically analyze what might change within the next ten years. The concept of equanimity will be applied within this future space. The color scheme will be consistent to the one used for the Strozier Library space, including the use of green as an accent color to enhance the user’s cognitive performance.

THE BACH LIFE SENIOR CO-HOUSING PROJECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The community the designer worked within was inspired by New Zealand’s Bach lifestyle, symbolic of the country’s holiday customs. What makes this community unique is that its residents ‘summer’ in one location and ‘winter’ in another. This allows them to escape unsavory climates and enjoy fresh scenery twice a year. The clients for the Senior Co-housing Project are a retired couple who have recently purchased two unfinished units, approximately 1500sf each. They hope their new homes will accommodate their hobbies as well as visits from their grandchildren (aged 14, 8 and 7). The homes must allow them to age in place and for continuity, each will have the same floor plan. However, the clients want each home to have a different palette, each embodying the local character and materials of the area.

Since the couple has saved their entire lives for retirement, they are now able to enjoy more luxurious accommodations, yet do so in a smaller and more sustainable footprint.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The summer home will be located in Portland, Oregon and the winter home will be in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The family enjoys natural lighting, open floor plans, and the kitchen and living areas need to be connected.

Steps and staircases are undesirable features and each space throughout the home should be compliant with ADA standards. Carpet is an undesirable feature and will not be used in the homes. The atmosphere of the homes shall be relaxed and inviting as family is an important value to the residents.

THE BACH LIFE PORTLAND, OREGON

CONCEPT Each day the sun sets, splashing vibrant colors across the sky, always different than the day before. For many, the sunset may signal the end of the day, but it also brings promise of the sun rising again the next day.

The sunset inspires the concept of a chapter of one's life ending but another chapter beginning. Bob and Karen Zielaskowski are a retired couple embarking on a new chapter of their life. Two different homes will be designed for them in accordance with universal design and appropriate for aging in place. These homes will be designed to fit the vernacular of the locations they are in, but also drawing from the inspiration of the sun setting. Just like every sunset, these homes will be unique and enhance the tranquility that Bob and Karen wish for. Portland, Oregon is the location of the summer home. This home will also incorporate an open concept design and will include many large windows throughout to aid in bringing the outside world in. Organic elements will be used but with a modern twist, similar to the city of Portland itself. Bold lines will be used throughout this home to enhance the dramatic reaction a sunset may evoke. Throughout history, people have looked to the sun for guidance, even regarding it as a god. This home will aid the residents in adjusting to a new chapter of their life, mirroring the tranquility and stability one may find from watching the sunset.

The location of the winter home will be in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Overlooking the mountains and desert, this home will not only have great views of the sunset from the large windows, but the consistent influence of the sunset will be incorporated into the interior as well. Organic forms and lines will be used in shaping the home and the large, open sky the sun sets across will influence the open floor plan used throughout. The color scheme used throughout this home will include earth tones, blush pinks, muted oranges and neutrals.

BACKGROUND

METAL SUPPORT RODS

Hopetown is a quaint village located on Elbow Cay, found in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas. It is said to be one of the Abacos best kept secrets, lately becoming a hot-spot for families and tourists hoping to enjoy a relaxing getaway. Fishermen and sailors have been frequenting this spot for decades, with the convenient Hopetown Harbor being a perfect cove for shelter from the oceans. Elbow Cay is adjacent to the island of Marsh Harbor, where the airport is located, allowing visitors ease of transportation. Everywhere is just a boat ride away, including various other islands that also boast their Bahamian charm.

Transportation around Hopetown is often by golf-cart and it does not take long to get from one end of the island to another.

Local cuisine, such as “the seafood diet”, and island culture, like the annual Junkanoo, are just some of the experiences visitors may encounter when living the true island lifestyle that Hopetown offers.

CONCEPT

30

Hopetown is home to the famous Elbow Reef Lighthouse, one of the last manual lighthouses in the world. Completed in 1864, it is still manually run to this day. The traveling kiosk is inspired by this iconic landmark located in Hopetown Harbor. The bands of red and white will attract visitors and upon entering the kiosk, one will be immersed in what one might experience while actually vacationing in the Abaco Islands. LED screens will showcase the beautiful blue waters of the Bahamas and also provide enough information to convince one to book their ticket that day.
