@valerie-huguet

Hello! My name is Valerie Huguet and I am a fourth year student at Virginia Tech pursuing a degree in Interior Design. My enduring passion for design began at a young age, as I was always eager in helping my parents with small projects around our home, decorating for events, and redesigning my room nearly every year, if not every month Since childhood, I have consistently cultivated an appreciation for the spaces immerse myself in

Today, I am fascinated by the study of how interior spaces can have an influence on the users, whether that be physically or psychologically. Designing a space that encapsulates wellness, inclusivity, and sense of belonging are what motivate and inspire me to excel in this field. Virginia Tech has impacted me greatly throughout the past four years as it has taught me to enjoy discussing ideas and collaborating with like-minded designers to create unique and functional spaces.

CONCEPT

The space is created into an inviting and immersive environment that enhances the cultural warmth and rich energy provided by the comfort of reggae music. Through the use of bold colors such as black and gold, the space is transformed into a luxurious and sleek design while incorporating modern elements such as marble throughout. The furniture layout allows the overall design to be consistent with Reggaes value of “oneness”, encouraging communication and collaboration The curvilinear space planning and furniture enhances the exciting energy of “flow” provided through the movement of the music

DESIGN CONCEPT

Tuckman's group development theory explains the stages of development that a group goes through to effectively collaborate as a team It has become the framework for comprehending group dynamics and was created by Bruce Tuckman, a psychologist, in 1965. The five stages of development are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.

The aim is to create an environment that supports each stage of group development that fosters comfort, flexibility, and collaboration. By understanding these stages, teams can better anticipate potential challenges and work together more effectively The garden aspect creates an indoor space that is a sanctuary that reflects the ambiance and benefits of an outdoor garden taking in all the natural light the flex space receives A sanctuary, by definition, is a place of refuge, safety, or a nature preserve With the natural light and garden aspect, it's a sanctuary for team working and collaboration rather
