The sketching begins...

I have started to develop an idea of what the interior of the space will look like. I like the idea of doing something rich and eclectic, but still fresh and full of conversation. These beginning stages are the best, and very exciting! I completed this in Google Sketch Up as well, just as another exorcise within the program, and I like the way it turned out! This is just a quick sketch to show some of my ideas for materials, and their application. yay for stone and reclaimed wood!


More to come! It's technically my Friday, so have a great weekend everyone! :)

Stacking Diagram

This diagram shows how each of the 3 different floors interact, with consideration to emergency stairwells, and the first floor restaurant in relation to the mezzanine. I have been learning Google Sketch up, and this was one of the first things I did with the program. It's a really great way to explain how the building works.

Restaurant Name and Concept

Inspired by fresh fruit and a variety of zesty seasonings, the concept for Union Mission’s residential, educational, and dining program in Sarasota, Florida is warm citrus spice. By providing guests with an inviting, comfortable, and intimate ambiance, they can experience the night of a lifetime, without feeling too far from the comforts of home. Surrounded by vibrant colors, flavors and an eclectic atmosphere, guests will be inspired to spice things up, and try something new! The concept will be expressed through the elements of space, texture, and color, as well as the principles of rhythm, variety, and movement.

Capstone Project

I can't believe it is almost mid-terms again! Senior year is here, and I can't believe that either! Part of me is in disbelief that I am almost done with school. It's a pretty exciting and invigorating thought, I am pretty ready to do big things in the design world!

We are working on our Capstone Project, a socially responsible project for Union Mission, a organization that provides living and working opportunities for those in the community that are at risk for homelessness. We have been asked to design a residence, office space and learning center/teaching kitchen for the members of the program that will prepare them for the work in the restaurant downstairs.

This is a 3 story project, and will take up all of Fall semester. I am really happy about what I have planned for this one!

I'll post some process work as it develops, so keep checking back!
