Loft Design“A Peaceful Enclosure”
My concept for the loft is “peaceful enclosure” and is
derived from the location and my love of seclusion and
peaceful living. I chose to reside in the city of York in England
because of its history and charm with its enclosed narrow
streets and open country just a few minutes away. The town
is a combination of old Roman and English architecture and
the busy metropolitan life. I’m really intrigued by the old
world combined with living in the current one. Growing up
I lived in Eastern Europe and the cobbled streets were my
Design Objective:
To design my ideal living space with a set floor plan and
guidelines.
Biggest Challenge and Learning Outcome:
Utilizing 3D Studio Max Software

This became the largest area of
the house because although I like
enclosed spaces, I also need a
space that is both secluded and an
open one to let the world in.

Kitchen & Dining
For the kitchen design
I wanted to create a
space that had the
American sensibility of an
openess but still be its own
entity coming straight
from the closed corridor
entrance.
The opening into the
dining room helps bring
these two spaces togther.

Sleeping & Vanity
Small and secluded in the rear of the flat at the end of the hallway, this space was designed for only
the purpose that I use my room for, which is sleep and getting ready. The function of the space
is to create a peaceful refuge utilizing the principles of harmony with the elements of color in the
materials and space.
In the Details:
Details of the location
of this site was shown
through the layout of a
closed floor plan and
the heating system that
utilizes the hot radiators
that are placed
throughout.

GARDEN VIEW HOSTEL
Blending the lush
natural beauty of
Sarasota with the laid back and friendly
community that
blossoms when staying
at a hostel, the concept
for the Sarasota Hostel
is Garden Hideaway.
This concept was inspired by the early
settlers who came to
Sarasota Florida and called it paradise with
all of it’s natural beauty.
My hope is to inspire
guests to come and experience Sarasota by staying at Garden View Hostel and hideaway in
the cool green shades of the lobby, the rays of
light at the Conservatory cafe and
a reclusive warm bed at
the end of an exciting day.
It will embody the principles of rhythm
through its orgnaic
patterns and design, harmony with a unified
color scheme and lighting and through
proportion emphasized between the organic
forms and space.

Lobby
The design for the front lobby resembles that of a semi outdoor atrium.
To create this dramatic and airy entrance I incorporated a recessed ceiling in the center with light panels to resemle sunlight filtering into the atrium.
Live trees are also part of the experience,bringing the florida nature into the space through color and form.
Behind the Front desk is a green wall that not only adds to the welcome desk but also helps purify the air.

Pop Up Retail PAVE Competition
This project was submitted for the 2011 PAVE Retail Competition under Store Design.
The main challenges involved in this project:
• creating a cohesive new store design that was still apparent of Sephora’s signiture brand
• designing a store that had the ability to manufacture itself into any setting for the sake of a temporary store setup
• utilizing previous observational research studies and designing for both client and user
Natural FemininityInspired by the belief that a woman’s most noticeable beauty comes from within. The Sephora brand inspired this retail by embracing ecological and organic cosmology that focuses on the Natural Femininity. This pop up retail will express Sephora’s iconic beauty brand, innovative design, and immersive and interactive technology with the everyday woman
Principles of design that will be utilized are rhythm, emphasis, and balance with the elements of organic form, emphasis with light and color balance of black and white and vibrant reds.

Evernote Corperate Office Project Melinda Capps & Kelsey McKiernan
Concept Statement:
The concept for the corporate office of Evernote is Organized Chaos. This idea was inspired by the company’s vision of creating a program to serve as a second brain, keeping thoughts and ideas stored. The environment for the employees of Evernote will be designed to successfully maintain a balance of the left and the right brained individuals. Direction of lines and shapes will bring you through the atmoshere of Evernote. Unity and rhythm will be shown through the use of colors and textures.
SOFTWARE USED: SKETCH UP

Group project that involved learning about client and company culture in order to create a custom designed environment and workplace that embodied Evernote’s philosophy and it’s team members.
Office- Evernote Cooperate Office
Floor Plan Design:
With the driving concept of Organized chaos the Evernote Corporate Office space was developed as separate functions of the brain that were conncected by a common thread.
The areas were grouped as the client requested by departments. As you enter the lobby you have the Business Team that houses the managerical aspects of the company distinguishing those areas in blue seating.
The next area included the Design Team in more energetic colors of orange and purple. In a separate area you have the Engineering Team in green.
All areas are conncected with communal spaces that make this a fun place to work, play and meet. In the center is a kitchen/cafe area with a lounge area called the Game Stop with fun colorful seating and a place for video games.
Adjacent is a quiet coffee space good for meetings and research.

The Robert Bruce Thompson Annual Student Light Fixture Design Competition 2012
IRIDESCENT PATHWAYS
CONCEPT STATEMENT
The concept of my light design was inspired
by the experience of traveling. In airports
the atmosphere is that of anticipation
and stress. Most people are not aware of
their environment and just want to reach
their destination with as little problems as
possible.
This light fixture will bring iridescent light
that is soft and warm and inviting but still
provide adequate work light.
Since the ticket counter is one of the first
steps to the journey, I wanted it to be a place
that was inviting and that would infuse the
traveler as well as the agent a sense of calm.
The concept for this became Iridescent
Pathways because I wanted to utilize not only
the idea of lighting up the travelers path and
journey but also to manipulate the pathways
of light to serve the function and design.
INSPIRATION
In the process of designing my light fixture it evolved from a complicated design into a more simplistic form.
I played around with different shapes to see how I could manipulate the path of light and keep the versatility for both the ticket agent and the traveler as well.

Experience
As the guest approaches the counter they are greeted by the warm and glowing light from the fixture and it’s iridescent and translucent panels.
The pathway of light illuminates both sides of the counter and gives off ambient light as well.
Versatility is key in the design and can be switched on and off manually by the agent to indicate whether or not the counter is open. Another option given is the ability to rotate the fixtrue to give more task lighting to the agent or more light to the guest.
The exchange between both parties are basked in both an aesthetically pleasing and fully functional light piece that can bring light to the users future pathways.

DETAILS
The lighitng fixture will incorporate simple linear design and subtle curved edges. Following the shape of this fixture the negative space gives a reprieve of the linear piece. It can rotate at the axis located on the right base corner. There are different angles shjown in the above perspective with the option of having the “task” lighting facing the ticket agent or facing the guest.
MATERIALS AND DETAIL
Iridescent pathways are exemplified in the soft multi colored glow of the resin panels that reflect light and emit a subtle glow.
This is juxtaposed by the cool metallic sheen of the recycle led aluminum base and the transparent 3 Form panels that serve as task lighting.
The center void will illuminate ambient light to the surrounding area, creating an inviting

The concept for the Children’s Medical Center in Ashville, North Carolina is “Storytelling” with heavy influence and inspiration from North Carolina’s natural beauty and the whimsical aesthetic of Art Nouveau. It is our goal to tell the story of North Carolina through storytelling in a way that invokes inspiration and imagination that can only come from nature.
The three main components of North Carolina being portrayed are mountain, forest, and beach, encompassing the wide variety of terrain that the state has to offer. And by adding a touch of whimsy, Art Nouveau captures the wonderful and mysterious aspect of nature that will be brought into this space through curved lines and asymmetry throughout the space.
New state of the art technology will be used to provide flexible lighting solutions and affects. Also incorporated into each room, architectural projections will be illuminated onto the walls that will include interactive systems where children can control their room theme, play games, watch movies, order food and contact the nurse through this central interactive experience.
The principles of design that will be incorporated include form, shape, and emphasis. These will be manifested in the detailing and treatment. The elements of design that will be used will include color, texture, and light that will be represented in our materials and architectural elements and lighting design.

Each floor is designated by a different natural landscape feature and color. This creates a system of wayfinding that is not only cohesive throughout each floor but makes it easier for children to identify which floor they are on in case they get lost.
Room Tags
By reiterating the colors into the floor pattern and the roomtags children can easilt identify where they are.
The plan is set up so that you enter into the themed lobby and experience the play areas, the patient room are in a more secluded area with views onto nature as well as 3 outdoor patios.

Main Challenges:
- Building the ENTIRE facility for digital walk through purposes in sketch up. Pros: Great visual/ experience Cons: Time consuming Solution: Teamwork/Communication
With the implementation of digital screen projections, patients can control their environment like never before.Colors can be changed and scenery and wall paterns as well. For this reason we left the walls neutral with wood and soft natural tones that are aesthetically pleasing and serve as a good backdrop.
Evidence Based Design:
A large part of this project was about implementing evidence based principles and observations into healing spaces.

Concept and Concept Statement
The concept for Clearview Community Rehabilitation Center is based upon the idea that the process of rehabilitation requires perseverance and time. Although strenuous the end goal is to achieve a new form of balance, clarity and rebirth.
For this reason the concept of the facility is Crystal Metamorphosis, the patient is being reborn and transformed in the same way that minerals and rocks go through intense pressure and heat in time to become unique and vibrant

Classrooms
As part of my research I wanted to implement resaerch and education into this healthcare facility to not only inform and educate new employees but also for constant learning within the staff for new treatment.
In addition, I also wanted to design a place where patients can learn about how to maintain their health and for loved ones to be part of the at home care.
Therefore this space is meant to be for multiple users and to be accomadate different uses.
I designed two separate learning areas, a flexible classroom set up and a presentation-like space that can be divided with movable partitions and opened for larger events.
