Design Philosophy

I am a junior interior design major at Washington State University. I have always been interested in design. I enjoy creating abstract and organized spaces. Figuring out corrections to problems through design is a process I believe is fundamental. When I design I want to meet the needs of a client in a creative way. I like to find multiple solutions to a problem to hear opinions to consider a different approach. I think design should have meaning, and that is what I strive to tell in my designs.

Depot Study Models

These are study models of my 3D development of my Depot design. I was able to plan floor plans in a way I could visualize. I also was able to think of ways to apply my concept to the project. This first model I made the residence on the far left too large, but I liked where the gallery and studio locations. For the second one I liked the radial symmetry of the gallery, but there were lots of tall windows on the exterior walls. This would not allow many paintings to hang on the walls. The third has the gallery on the far left and has walls on either exterior wall for easy viewing, but did not apply my concept very well. The fourth is pretty similar to the second model I just moved some of the central studio walls for different circulation. This fifth model is the most like my final floor plan. I used radial walls in the gallery that have different rotating positions. The "L" shape of the studio allows the residence and the studio entries to be on opposite walls for distinctive entries. I learned from this project to push for ideas that would not otherwise be tried because this was not meant to look perfect. It was meant to spark an idea that would not be explored on a 2D piece of paper.
