Heidi Paige PetersonDesign Portfolio / 2012

This portfolio documents some of my professional work and the work, which I’ve produced while participating in the architectural program at CCSF. I enrolled in this program to supplement

previous interior design studies at the Academy of Arts University, SF (1986-1988), and the 15 years of design and A&D related work, which followed.

Through the study of architecture, I have worked towards the development of a more unified and complete design expression. My desire is to create interior environments, which are

informed by and connected to the project architecture.

Student Project: Cafe in Oakland, CA Transformation

This assignment involved the design of a cafe, which will occupy an existing ground-floor space in a historic, gothic high-rise in Oakland, California. My design concept is based on the ordering principal oftransformation. Inspired by the formations, which appear in sidewalks when plant life overtakes the grid, I attempted to create an abstraction of this phenomenon in my project.The concept is first expressed in the floor, with a linear pattern that uses the columns as points of connection. An abstraction of organic plant life is represented by a laser-cut wool felt ceiling canopy, which spans the entire length of the space. The kitchen,framed with polycarbonite panels is exhibition-style, using the spare, yet efficient and sustainable “Flow Kitchen”, by Studio Gorm.

The cafe containsa performance areaand a tiered, auditorium-styleseating arrangement,located at the narrow end of the space.Stage and seating elements to be constructed, using vertical plywood panels and endgrain floor and seating elements.

Transformation occurs in a sidewalk when the linear grid is overcome by cracks and organic infill.

This reflected ceilingplan illustrates a laser-cut, felt ceiling canopy, which becomes an organic transformationof the floor design.

The inlayed linoleum floor design acts as an abstraction of asidewalk, with cracks, which deviate from thegrid.
