.about me
My name is Wallace Carpenter, and I am a third-year student at Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas. I am expected to graduate in May of 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in Interior Architecture and Design.
Having spent years honing my skills, I approach each project with a unique blend of artistry and technical expertise. My design philosophy is centered on the belief that well-designed spaces can profoundly impact the way we live, work, and interact. It’s not just about making things beautiful; it’s about creating experiences and enhancing lifestyles.

Each summer, eight weeks of summer camp are offered between May and July. During these two months, kids from all over the country gather at camp where they are immersed in many adventures. Everything is planned to positively affect four key areas of a camper’s life: spiritual, physical, mental, and social.

.introduction
NEXT, a progressive architecture and interior design firm is looking to open its twenty-eighth location in Dallas, Texas. NEXT was originally founded in 1976 in Los Angeles, California, and since then the company has led with a growing and learning mindset.
In the new location, they are looking to connect in a meaningful way not only with their clients but with the staff and community as well. This will be made possible through their partnership with Steelcase, as well as having a wide variety of workplace settings. This is not only considering the physical needs of employees but also their emotional and cognitive needs because feeling good at one’s workplace drives business performance.

.concept Incorporating the concept of intersections, the aim is to create a harmonious and dynamic space where various design elements, materials, and functions intersect seamlessly. These intersections will not only serve as focal points but also as opportunities for visual intrigue and functional efficiency, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the interior environment. By strategically blending lines, forms, and textures, the intention is to craft an engaging and balanced interior that celebrates the convergence of creativity and practicality. Bringing this concept into the NEXT project will provide depth, complexity, and interest through the convergence of different ideas, elements, or paths. This concept can be a powerful visual and conceptual tool.

The strategic design of a reception area, stadium seating, client presentation room, and a work cafe all being centrally located promotes engagement while adhering to the Fixed to Fluid design principle. This balance between professionalism, adaptibility, custom-built ins, and a brand reflection creates a dynamic and adaptable workspace that fosters a positive and inclusive atmosphere.
BALANCE
A well-designed work cafe promotes balance within an office space by offering a flexible and comfortable environment. The integration of the Open + Enclosed design principle supports individualism in an open setting, allowing employees to choose their preferred work style while providing opportunities for collaboration and balance. Promoting a casual and relaxed atmosphere for all.

.introduction
Technical drawings serve as crucial communication tools, conveying detailed information about spatial layouts, construction methods, and material specifications. These drawings provide a comprehensive visual representation of design concepts, facilitating collaboration between designers, architects, contractors, and clients.
Through my building systems class, I gained invaluable insight into the intricacies of technical drawings and their practical applications within the field. From understanding the assembly of walls to delineating the placement of furniture and fixtures, technical drawings elucidate the structural and functional aspects of interior spaces.
