Residential Design
For Presentation Techniques II, the class project was to measure a house and then build it in SketchUp. While building it in SketchUp, the kitchen in the front of the house and the living room in the back of the house where flip flopped, an unusable side hallway was rearranged into usable space, and a dividing wall was opened up for better flow. The end result of this class project was a wonderfully furnished and rendered living room in SketchUp and a beautifully hand drawn and rendered bedroom.
Drawn and Rendered by Hand
The Kaiser Kitchen
For Kitchen & Bath Design, the kitchen project was to take the kitchen space from the house used in Presentation Techniques II and design a kitchen around an existing space. To be able to accomplish that, the usable space made from the rearranged side hallway was folded into the new kitchen space to allow for a bigger and more open feeling kitchen. The design included an eat at bar top with seating, plenty of extra storage in the tall cabinets across the back wall, modern and updated appliances, and a wine rack to give the owners what they needed and check off what they wanted on their wish list. To achieve a modern and yet classic style, the cabinets are simple and dark, the floors are light wood, and the countertops are elegant and grey toned.

Modern Spa Bath
For Kitchen & Bath Design, the bath project space was a shell provided by the instructor with no budget to be considered. This allowed for uninhibited creativity with very minimal restraints. This project was also a partner project and team work exercise. After brainstorming as a group, an at home luxury spa style themed bathroom was decided on for the direction of this project. Now, while both partners were more than capable at producing the AutoCad drawings and the SketchUp model, the work was split in half as a time saving strategy. Caitlin Cassidy ended up taking on the task of making the SketchUp model after the finishes and fixtures were picked out collaboratively. The outcome of this partner project was a fantastic finished bathroom that the team was extremely proud of.

Internship
Drury Design Kitchen & Bath Studio
Drury Design is a high end, full service, kitchen and bath studio. A client focused design approach has set Drury Design apart from other kitchen and bath studios for the last 25 years. Over those 25 years, Drury Design has accumulated an extensive portfolio of beautiful and inspiring projects. That, along with the knowledge available to learn and a team of individuals willing to share that knowledge, makes Drury Design the perfect place for an inspiring kitchen and bath designer to intern. From day one, as an intern there, one starts to absorb information that is not taught in classes at school. Whether it be the people behind the scenes that go unnoticed by the clients on up through to the designer in charge of the project, every role in the processes is equally important and necessary. The role as an intern at Drury Design is part receptionist and part assistant designer. As a receptionist, an intern learns to interact with clients in the show room and on the phone. These interactions allow an intern to hear of both problems that arise and the solutions that are found. Then as an assistant designer, an intern gets to learn how a project is done from start to finish. From field measures, to rough designs, to AutoCad drawings and there revisions, an intern gets to see and learn the design ideas and thought processes. With open eyes and an eagerness to learn, an intern at Drury Design can get a good introduction to the kitchen and bath design field and a good foundation to start a career in the field.

For Advanced Residential Design class, the class project was to take the finished project from Residential Environments and draw it in Revit. There are many reasons for putting this already finished project into Revit. First, it allows for neat and complete construction documents. Also, to view the house in three dimensions to get a truer feel for the spaces of the house. But, the biggest reason is for Revits rendering capabilities. The renderings done by Revit are photo realistic with detail not found in other programs. The outcome is a project that allows for both feeling and seeing a space on a small scale as if walking through the house like an open house. Please see Designer DVD for a walk through.
For Residential Environments, the class project was to adapt an existing house to accommodate the client. The project started with understanding what the client was looking for in their home. then taking what was learned from the client in data form to the beginning stages of space shaping. As the space shaping progressed, the home went from loose bubbles to blocked spaces, through changes and refinements, to a finished floor plan of the home that would later be built in Revit during Advanced Residential Design class.

Hand Drawings
Drafting & Detailing Hand Drawn, Drawnings Not to Scale
For Drafting and Detailing, this project was done by hand for many reasons. First was to show the exactness that is required in both measuring at different scales and converting between different scales. Next was to demonstrate the precision that is used to show different line weights. The difference between understanding a drawing and not, can rest in the use of proper line weights. Along with being able to read a drawing, there is also the understanding of that drawing. The details of a drawing are just as important in communicating what is to be done as the line weights and measurements are. Clear and legible architectural hand lettering, proper spacing, and correct placement were taught and practiced with the detailing portion of this project. Lastly, hand drafting is the base on which to build an education in design of any kind from.

Commercial Design
For Interior Design Thesis I, the class project was to pick a type of commercial building to research and design. A privet bank was chosen and the research portion of the project begin. The a client profile was written, a logo was designed, LEED opportunities were investigated, data and information was collected and stored, and site visits of existing banks were conducted. Once all of these types of research were completed and compiled, the research portion was finished and design could begin.
Client Profile -Project Name: Templar Bank & Trust -Location: Down Town Chicago, IL -# of Employees: 25 to 75 -# of Guests Accommodated: 750 -Business Type: Private Bank -Building Type: Business (Group B) -Approximate Sq. Ft.: 20,000
Mission Statement The mission of the Templar Bank & Trust is to be more than just a trusted financial institution for our clients, but also to be a leader in responsible business practices. Our goal is to take the old world ways of banking and blend them with the modern technological advances that allow us to deliver services to our clients that are second to none. We value above all else the personal connection between not just us and our clients, but also the community as a whole. Cultural & Community Influence -The downtown Chicago location will give easy access from many directions to both business and personal banking clients. -The clientele that a privet bank has will effect expansion rate in the area. -The look of the building will draw some new and positive attention.
Guiding Principles for design -Healthy Environment: the interior should promote a healthy workplace to limit sick days and work place injuries. -Green Design: the building should be environmentally friendly and be LEED Silver certifiable as a minimum level. -Building Security: will be addressed by top of the line and state of the art equipment, procedures, and training. -Client & Workspaces: will be open and inviting to promote friendly and helpful interaction as well as a relaxing atmosphere to reduce stress.
Historical Influence With Chicago’s history of being a fractured banking market with no dominant bank, it makes a good starting location for a new bank. Also, the old practices of banking have been lost throughout the banking world as it has become more and more commercialized and volume based. So, with these two trends holding steady, it leaves a nice opening for a private bank to come in and corner the market while bringing back the old client focused banking practices. Thesis Statement This bank project will take the old ways of banking and blend them with the new technologies that are available to banks. The thought here is to not just put the personable feeling back into banking, but also the grandeur of the old banking institutions. By this, it means larger open spaces with high ceilings, columns, beautiful stone floors, and rich deep woods, along with large windows for natural light to shine in. Also, the more closed off spaces will be made to feel more warm and inviting by the same use of rich deep woods and natural light as the open spaces and adding comfortable modern but classic feeling furniture. With the technologies of banking today, such as online banking and ATMs, the face to face and personable part of banking has been largely removed from the process of day to day banking and processes. But the hope for this bank is to make people want to come into the bank to do their transactions, plan for the future, and ask questions about any other financial need that might come up.
For Interior Design Thesis II, the class project was to take the research from Interior Design Thesis I and do the design portion of the project. This bank was designed with reaching a minimum of LEED Silver Certification at its completion. At the end of the Design portion of this project, the result was an original design of a privet bank that took everything learned throughout this interior design program and applying it all to one single project.

This book has been made possible by all the many people in my life. I would like to give my sincere and whole hearted thanks and appreciation to all those people. To my family and friends, for their unconditional love, support, and encouragement, without which, I am not sure I would have made it through it all. A special thank you to Valerie Ann, for coming into my life when I wasn’t looking but needed it most, and helping me keep sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. I would like to dedicate this book in loving memory of my mother. I finally did it. I will always love you, and I will never forget you.
