In the dining room of Evergreen Meadows, sustainability and durability are seamlessly integrated into the design, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and practical longevity.
FLOORING:
The flooring boasts resilient wood, selected not only for its natural beauty but also for its durability and sustainability. Engineered to withstand daily wear and tear while maintaining its elegant appearance, this flooring choice is environmentally conscious, sourced from responsibly managed forests or made from recycled materials.
ACOUSTICS:
The ceiling features acoustical faux wood beams, which contribute to the room’s warm ambiance while also serving a practical purpose. These beams are crafted to mimic the natural look of wood while providing sound-absorbing properties, enhancing the acoustics of the dining space.
TEXTILES:
Fabrics used throughout the dining room are chosen with sustainability and durability in mind. Upholstered chairs and cushions are made from high-quality materials that are easy to maintain and resistant to stains, ensuring longevity without compromising on comfort.

HARMONY WITH NATURE
Features: Open window views from each room will allow guests to see the surrounding outdoors. The furniture must be cohesive to the building. Wood and other natural materials will be used to bring the outdoors into the space. A lounge and breakfast bar will be incorporated into the shared space of the social area.
Client requirements: The client has asked us to create a breakfast/coffee bar located in the social area, as well as seating for 8. No specific requirements have been given for the king suite. However, the spaces must be cohesive. List of spaces and areas: For this project, we will be designing a social area and a king suite, which includes a living space, a bedroom, and a bathroom.
Code review: Doorways will be at least 32” to accommodate ADA regulations. Grab bars will be installed in the shower. Many of the proposed materials that will be used are naturally slip resistant, like the wood and natural stone for the floors. All textiles will be flame resistant.

Different lighting can profoundly influence the mood of a home. Soft, warm lighting creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere, ideal for relaxation and intimacy. Bright, white lighting promotes alertness and productivity, making it suitable for workspaces or areas where clarity is essential. The strategic use of lighting can transform a space, enhancing comfort and functionality while setting the desired ambiance.
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
THE STEWART RESIDENCE
Cohesive Compartments
Concept: Creating a home that seamlessly blends distinct living spaces while maintaining a sense of unity is a design challenge that requires both creativity and functionality. My vision for the Stewart family’s home is to ensure that each area retains its individual identity while contributing to the overall harmony of the home.
Sliding Partition Doors: The sliding partition doors between these areas are a key design element. The doors will have a black metal frame and frosted glass panels to maintain privacy while allowing light to filter through. When open, these doors create an expansive, interconnected living space, and when closed, they define each compartment without creating a visual barrier.

DINING AND BAR
Dining Room: The dining room is an extension of the living space, seamlessly connected through sliding partition doors. A solid wood dining table surrounded by wishbone chairs adds a playful bohemian twist. A bar area with open shelving will display glassware and spirits. Pendant lights in black and brown create a cozy ambiance.
