01 THE STUDIO spacial fragment

Interior Design Studio 1 Professor: Nina Freedman Teammate: Nop Chungsawanant

This work is based on the social issue of the global fertility rate decline.

We focused on the relationship between people and space.

The project started with designing and creating five conceptual models that inspired the design component that was applied in the final product. Then, through evaluation, the final spacial fragment resulted in a flexible studio space.

We believe Studio is where ideas are born. A studio is a place where designers gather and work cooperatively. Just like the population of the world is constantly changing, the people utilizing space change. This concept led us to create a transformable space to serve the environment where population fluctuation could not be avoided.

02 NARA TEAHOUSE

Live + Work and Retail Space in New York City Interior Design Studio 1 Professor: Nina Freedman Individual Project This work is based on the social issue of the global fertility rate decline. This project is located in the soho district of New York City. The purpose of the project is to design an area that can have both public retail space and private living and working space. The users of this project are two imaginary lesbian couples from Japan named Nana and Lia. Since they are expecting their first child through IVF, Nana and Lia, a lesbian couple from Nara, Japan, decided to get married in New York this year. In the Soho neighborhood of New York City, they wished to start a traditional Japanese tea house. Since Nana was pregnant, Lia wanted to turn their home into a tea room so she could be there for Nana when the tea house opens.

Nana enjoys crocheting bags and accessories in her free time, and she wants a place where she can show and sell their tea. They unanimously decided to return to Japan after Nana had given birth and recovered, which meant they would spend the next six months living here and running the tea house.

Models designed based on Deconstructing and Folding.

The purpose of these models is to break the properties of the material itself to achieve forms that are contrary to its characteristics.

04 DYNAMIC EFFICIENCY Google Fitness Retail Store

Interior Design Studio 2 Professor: Lani Adeoye Teammates: Nikki Yablon, Cici Wang Role: Creating floor plans and sections This work is about a dynamic retail experience by incorporating technology into the design strategy, drawing customers to Google’s virtual reality offline store in an era where online shopping dominates the world.

Design uses transparent materials to allow natural light to enter and navigate the space, while the interior lighting will be energetic and exciting at night. In addition, the virtual reality fitting mirrors on the second floor will allow customers to quickly and efficiently choose their favorite outfits. In the meantime, the conveyor belt that seamlessly connects the second and third floor will efficiently deliver the selected items to the customer just in a few seconds.

05 AND

Community Kitchen + Youth Hostel Interior Design Studio 2 Professor: Lani Adeoye Individual Project AND is a multipurpose community service center consisting of an open kitchen and a youth hostel, designed to provide meals to the homeless in the community and to host volunteers around the world. Through connection, relaxation, and collaboration as guiding values, the space is designed to allow people to better link with others. The second-floor grass stairs highlight moments of connection, in which people could sit or lie comfortably and chat with friends. In addition, using soft materials like carpet and fabric reduces the sharpness of the design visually, creating a warm and harmless atmosphere. This design hopes to give the underprivileged more care so they don’t feel excluded by society.
