Designer brief

• Design brief: We have been asked to created and design a 3D model which is to represent a space for living or recreational purpose in response to the needs of a designated client. We have been told to research the place and get as much information as possible to be able to create a living place.

Client profile

• After completing my survey with my client, 20 years old who is planning to live with another house mate and two dogs, I have been able to fine out her likes and want for her living environment. It’s been noted that is interested in primary colours, which create a vibrancy and life to her room. This means that I will research colours like, reds, blues, greens, yellows, pinks and purples. is interested in the retro, modern, club-party style, and fashion but at the same time she dose enjoy reading which means I will need to create a space which can deliver an eye catching feel and also relax able. She like natural light so big windows would be essential and also at night bright vibrant lighting. I will need to create this in a budget of $30,000.

Analysis of concept board and initial ideas

• Old ideas:

• After our final result with the colour scheme and trend we have come up with a final design. This design is stylish, retro, and a relaxed environment which can be changed into a entertain area. With primary colours, stylish retro furniture. also the raised surface covered with a furry carpet reminding us of the days of the 1960”s. wooden floor boards on the bottom surface. Large windows create natural light, but a feature light in the entrances way creates a nice mood at night and also the feature lights beside the TV. But if my client doses not want this there will be halogen spot lights placed around the factory apartment, to give enough lighting if need be.
