SHELBY COATES
Hi! I am an aspiring third-year interior architecture student with a will to learn and a love for design. My whole life I’ve been surrounded by creativity, and in high school I took as many art classes as I could. After studying IA for a year at UW-Madison, I decided the school wasn’t for me and transferred to KU where my passion has flourished further. I plan to graduate with an undergraduate degree in Interior Architecture, and continue my education at KU or elsewhere to receive a master’s degree in Architecture.

01 SUSTAINABLE SMART HOME
PROJECT TYPE: Individual PROGRAMS USED: Revit, Enscape, Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop
In this project, I designed a home for a blind child who attends the nearby school for the blind. In the design I made sure to follow the laws and codes of the given site in Kansas City, Kansas. I also incorporated smart technology and sustainability factors including WELL and LEED. While this home was designed for a specific user, the house is extremely adapatable for anyone who choses to live there in the future.
CONCEPT: HAPTICS
The concept of Haptic comes from its direct meaning: the perception of objects by touch. Because of their loss of sight, blind people use their touch sense to understand the world around them. Feeling their surroundings gives blind people an idea of where they are.
GOALS:
FAMILIARITY: an organized space containing permanently placed objects.
UNDERSTANDING: differentiation of spacing through materiality and design.
HOME: comfortability for anyone yet designed for a specific user.
SENSORY: strategically placed textures, contrasting colors, and heated flooring.

USER PERSONAS
Blair needs a home near her new school, the Kansas State School for the Blind that also fits her needs as a fully blind person. The home needs to be designed in a way that Blair can move throughout the space with an easy flow and know where she’s going using different textures and technology.
LUCAS SCOTT BLAIR SCOTT

SMART TECHNOLOGY
AUTOMATIC MOTION LIGHTS: incorporating a system of automatic motion lights in circulation and task areas is very helpful for the blind user because they can see some light, and determine where they are in the space.
SWITCHABLE SMART
GLASS:
window walls visually expand the narrow home and can be made transparent or translucent with the flip of a switch. The window walls help the blind user to navigate the space due to their thoughtful spacing throughout the house.
HEATED FLOORING SYSTEM:
the concept of Haptic comes into play in this technological integration, as the heated flooring allows the blind user to follow a heated path on the floor and navigate the space from the front entrance to the back of the house.

JAYHAWK D-LAB
PROJECT TYPE: Group to Individual PROGRAMS USED: Revit, Enscape, Illustrator, Indesign
For this project we were tasked to design the Jayhawk D-Lab which includes the first floor of Marvin Hall, the second floor of Chalmers Hall and the first floor of the newly anticipated KUbe on the University of Kansas’s campus. I worked alongside Kellen McGowan and Emily Huey for the research and programming parts of this project.
CONCEPT: KUmmunity
Each building of the Jayhawk Design Lab: Marvin Hall, Chalmers Hall, and the KUbe creates a community that achieves three major goals. For the floors we are designing, Marvin Hall will house spaces for research and testing, Chalmers Hall will hold the makerspaces, and the KUbe will embrace everyone, from the School of Architecture and Design, and other majors as well. With its Historic Preservation Lab and room for advancing technology, the first floor of Marvin Hall is a place to cultivate knowledge. With the woodshop, laser lab, 3D printers, CNC, and soft goods lab all in one place, students will be bustling and exerting creativity on the second floor of Chalmers Hall as they work on projects all throughout the year. And with the cafe, lounge space, robotics lab, pin-up space and more, the first floor of the KUbe is an exciting lobby for collaboration of all majors. The Jayhawk Design Lab not only achieves these goals of Cultivate, Creativity, and Collaboration, but it also focuses on the health and well-being of the students and staff it shelters, and the enviornment it sits within as it encompasses sustainability.

03 PEDIATRIC CLINIC
PROJECT TYPE: GROUP PROGRAMS USED: Revit, Enscape, Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop
In this project, I designed a pediatrics clinic with Jordan Cochran, Sabrina Allan, and Brady Jungmeyer. We followed the guidelines of the 2024 IIDA Student Design Competition, incorporating Biophilic Design and positive distractions that meet the users’ needs.
CONCEPT: CLOUD
Children are drawn to the spaces around them, looking up at the sky viewing all of the amazing commodities it features. Cloud Pediatrics Clinic is a fanciful and magical space that promotes the health of the younger generation. This concept is established through the dreamy ambiance of sky-inspired elements –cozy, whimsical, and wonder-filled– acting as positive distraction and inspiration.
GOALS:
CALMING ENVIRONMENT: clouds and gentle, pastel colors to create a relaxing mood.
POSITIVE DISTRACTIONS: engaging and developmentally appropriate play areas.
WAYFINDING: direct kids around the clinic and foster curiosity to improve their experience.

PROJECT TYPE: Individual PROGRAMS USED: Illustrator, Indesign, Revit, Twin Motion
In this project, I designed a co-working space based in the Two-Light building in Kansas City, Missouri. Following the guidelines we were given on types and amount of spaces, we were also given the freedom of creating areas in the office that best fit our concept.
CONCEPT: REJUVENATE
The best ideas come from stepping away to think, and maybe grabbing breath of fresh air. This light and open space is flexible and comfortable with tons of natural light and muted, contemporary finishes to create an immense feeling of relaxation and newfound motivation and energy. Waved ceiling panels, colored walls, and sliding glass doors with curtains allow for wayfinding and open-air sensations to keep workers rejuvenated wherever they are in the office space throughout the day.
GOALS:
FLEXIBILITY: adaptable spaces and movable furnishings to align with user needs.
MOTIVATION: pops of color, natural lighting, and regenerative spaces.
RELAXATION: comfortable furnishings and dedicated lounge areas.

HOT DESK WORKSPACE
ENLIGHTENED SPACE
PROJECT TYPE: Individual
PROGRAMS USED: SketchUp, Indesign
In this project, I designed a structure for religious practice. I focused on the way light travels through the space, purposefully placing openings to represent means of the religion. I conducted research on the religion and explored it artistically. For the digital designing of this model, I used Sketch Up, then made the physical model out of foam core and plastic.
RELIGION: JUDAISM
Judaism is a monotheistic religion that was established circa 2000 BCE. There are two different types of Jewish followers, Ashkenazic and Sephardic. The Ashkenazi Jews descended from Central or Eastern Europe, and Sephardic Jews descended from Spain. There are also different levels of Jewish followers including Orthodox Jews, Conservative Jews, and Reform Jews. Orthodox Judaism is the most involved worshipping daily, eating kosher, separating men from women in synagogue and sometimes in bed, and married women wearing head coverings. Conservative and reform Jews follow less of these practices, reform Jews following the least. Judaism also has a ton of holidays throughout the year inlcuding Hannakuh, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Bar and Bat Mitvahs, and Shabbat which is celebrated every Friday night into Saturday. There are many symbols to represent the religion. The most obvious symbol is the Star of David which represents harmony and protection from enemies. The torah is the religious law, Challah is a sweet braided bread that is blessed in pairs on Shabbat, and the Chai is a symbol of life.

06 ART GALLERY
PROJECT TYPE: Individual PROGRAMS USED: Auto-CAD, Indesign
In this project, I designed an art gallery based on the existing work and design ideas of a famous architect. I researched and sketched out my favorite of the architect’s work, designed multiple different art gallery plans inspired by the architect’s work on Auto Cad, and built a conceptual model of my final design at a 3/32” scale.
NAME: THE GYO-LLERY
I am inspired most by architect Gyo Obata. It was during this project that I discovered him, his backstory, and his phenomenal work. Being from St. Louis I have been able to see much of his work in person, my favorite building, the Priory Abbey Church was one of my main inspirations for this gallery. The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, the McDonnell Planetarium at the Saint Louis Science Center, and the Community of Christ Temple were also a few of his buildings that I focused on while designing my art gallery.

EXPLORATION
During my second semester of freshman year at the University of WisconsinMadison, we worked on exploring design. We studied how shapes worked and fit together. We played with constrasting textures. We even learned how to use the 3D printers in the maker space. We collaborated with other fields in the School of Human Ecology on our projects as well. For my Foundational Studies project, I used styrofoam, then bristol paper, and lastly clay to understand the relationship between shapes and how they work together. Following different guidelines such as using dominant, subdominant, and subordinant parts for the styrofoam and bristol structures. These projects are the foundation of all that has to come of my work featured in this portfolio.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONTRASTS
For my Three-Dimensional Contrasts project we were given one container or air-dry foam clay. We began by creating six tiles, each with a different 3D contrast. We then took our favorite two, and turned the designs into masks. My favorite designs used the positive to negative and flat to folded contrasts. I worked to create masks that differed from the typical mask design that first comes to mind. After designing these masks, we again, chose our favorite and created a pavilion. I made multiple of the same design to perfect it as much as possible, and experimented using those drafts together at differing positions to add interest and usable space.
FUNCTIONAL ART
For my Functional Art project, we worked with students from the Textile and Fashion Design major in the School of Human Ecology to discover the hundreds of textiles in their colection. I found and researched a textile from the Qing Dynasty. Not only did I create a chair inspired by the textile, but I also learned about the history of the textile and the chairs made during that period. I sketched the design on paper, created a 3D model with cardboard, then ultimately designed the model on SketchUp and brought it to life with a 3D printer. We even had fun creating pamphlets with the history of the chair, and putting them in boxes as a finishing touch!
