ID 342: Residential Interior Design II The University of Southern Mississippi, Department of Art & Design, Fall 2008 Project 1
Historic Metropolitan Residence
Project Description
You have been hired to research and design a condominium residence located on the sixth floor of a historical building in a metropolitan area. The space has breath taking views of the city, and is located in a very desirable area. Additionally, your client has a favorite color, and would like it incorporated dramatically into the space. The existing space is approximately 1800+ square feet of heated living area. You may not change any of the existing exterior walls or features (e.g. windows, walls, columns, etc…). All walls should be built within the property line. The final layout should be detailed and accurate, include all built-in features and FF&E, and incorporate proper space planning and clearances. The client has specified that historically accurate wall paneling, doors, moldings, and other details be incorporated into the space. The layout should be formal and reminiscent of the architectural period. Please review the floor plan provided for construction details.
Project Requirements
Floor plan should include: 2 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms Foyer Living area Kitchen Dining area Office Laundry area Mechanical closet(s) for HVAC, electrical/data panel, & water heater
Part 1: Programming
Project Statement
Include in project book.
The project statement is the introductory paragraph that introduces the project. The idea is that this brief statement introduces the reader to the project and provides the reader with a fairly concise description of what the project entails. The project statement should incorporate a limited number of clear, succinct statements (possibly one sentence each) that describe the project including: Brief description of the client Brief description of the site including the square footage for the project Historical background of your client The primary challenges should be discussed in this section Services you will be providing as the interior designer for this project Include a copy of the building shell/floor plan. Remember that the document should be written as if the audience knows nothing about the project.
Project Background
The background section is the existing state of affairs for the project. The background section provides the necessary background information needed to thoroughly understand and design the project. One should describe the context in which the project must be designed (Durek, 1993). In a sense, the project background explains the existing constraints or conditions for the project. Prior to designing the project, designers typically read the literature to find out what has been written about the topic they are investigating. The goal of the literature review is threefold: (1) to evaluate the current state of knowledge, (2) to gather ideas, and (3) to make sure you are not re-inventing the wheel. Include copies of all research pertinent to the project, along with any notes and summaries in this section from information retained from books, journal articles, magazines, and Internet sources.
Project Goals and Objectives Goals: what you and the client want to accomplish when the job is finished. Objectives: work needed to achieve the goal.
Activities Analysis
A listing of common activities that will be performed in the space. The activity is listed without reference to a space. For example: reading, computing, standing, talking, etc. Once the activities have been identified, potential problems and solutions to those problems are listed.
Space Analysis A. Space Summary 1. Each space, including storage/auxiliary areas, is listed with assigned square footage and indication of how each area was determined (e.g., recommended design standard, building code, or sq.ft. per person x no. of users = total sq.ft.) 2. Total net area B. Detailed Space Listing (this is your main programming information) 1. Room or area description/name and square footage 2. No. of occupants 3. Description of use/activities 4. Furniture/fixtures and equipment details 5. Environmental requirements (describe needs for each) a. adjacencies b. access c. degree of privacy d. enclosures (floors, walls, ceilings, doors, windows) e. mechanical f. lighting g. power/electrical h. acoustics i. life safety j. security

Part 2: Schematic Planning Include in project book.
Concept Statement
Select an object, idea, impression, feeling, sound, or such, as your concept or inspiration for the project. Create a statement describing the inspiration and the abstract conceptual ideas that formulate throughout the design process. Evaluation: Grammar/Spelling, Content, Presentation of Materials
Concept Sketches
Sketch ideas, images, inspirations that further define your conceptual theme in graphic terms. Evaluation: Visualization of Conceptual Process, Content, Presentation of Materials
Part 3: Design Development
Process Drawings
Include in project book.
Each student will document the design development of the space with a series of process drawings including bubble diagrams, adjacency matrix, rough layouts, thumbnail sketches, etc…. Drawing content should portray the development of circulation paths, lighting schemes, furniture and material needs, code issues, aesthetic considerations, and notations of any significant features. Evaluation: Visualization of Design Process, Content, Presentation of Materials
Part 4: Project Presentation
Include on presentation boards.
Furniture Plan
Scale: ¼”=1’-0”. Completed furniture plan should include all fixed and non-fixed partitions, furnishings, as well as notations of wheelchair turnaround space, elevations, details, special features, and materials and finishes. Include schedule with general furnishing selections. Evaluation: Grammar/Spelling, Space Planning, ADA Regulations, Fire Safety Regulations, Universal Design Features, Appropriateness of Design
Reflected Ceiling Plan Scale: ¼”=1’-0”. Completed reflected ceiling plan should be hand drawn and rendered. To include all architectural and molding details, mechanical and electrical components, and notations. Evaluation: Grammar/Spelling, Historical Accuracy of Content, Appropriateness of Design, Presentation Quality
Elevations & Detail Drawings
Scale: varies. Include elevations of the paneling design for the dining room and living room, details of door and cabinetry styles used throughout, and detail drawings of trim work for space (baseboard, cornice, picture rail, chair rail, and door/window surrounds). Evaluation: Grammar/Spelling, Historical Accuracy of Content, Appropriateness of Design, Presentation Quality
Project Book All materials should be professionally presented, labeled, and tabbed in an 8½” x 11” 3-ring binder. Writing can be typed or hand lettered. All drawings must be hand drawn and rendered. Free hand sketching is preferred. Evaluation: Grammar/Spelling, Content, Appropriateness of Presentation, Presentation Quality, Graphic Communication
Boards Completed furniture plan, along with any additional visual aids, notations of materials and finishes, concept statement, and supplemental information, should be professionally presented to

client(s). Each student will select an appropriate presentation board size and orientation. All boards must be the same size and include consistent title blocks with the project name on the front, and the student’s name, board number, course, date, and instructor’s name on the back. Boards should be constructed with matt board on both front and back, color side out, with foam core board in the center for structural stability. All work must be hand drawn and rendered. Free hand sketching is preferred. Evaluation: Grammar/Spelling, Content, Appropriateness of Presentation, Presentation Quality, Graphic Communication
Grading
This project is worth 25% of your final course grade. An evaluation sheet with the point system and evaluation criteria will be posted at a later date.
Due Date
Final Presentation Boards and Project Book Due Tuesday, October 2, 2008 by 12:00 p.m. Boards should be professionally dry mounted to foam core board as described above.
