PROJECT
Us groups of students went to Greensboro AL, and took physical measurements of a 1837 Southern Plantation home. As a class we then transfered all our recorded information into AutoCAD, creating construction documents. We had the choice to design something we feel the state of alabama needed, and turn this 1837 southern plantation house into our new design. Some walls, door, and other architectual elements were not allowed to be moved or replaced.

CONCEPT & RESEARCH
The concept for The Paradiso Rosa is paradise but specifically the pink sunet. The sunet inspires the warm feeling it brings on the inside and outside of our body. Throught the design you will feel like you are in paradise. The asethetic is 1980s art deco with a modern twist. In the space texture was a key element. Textures translate emtions and feelings, and help create more of a comfort zone. The pink velvet wallpaper used in the lounge was used to create a soft impact. The design is overflowing with the color pink. Pink clams and reassures our emtional energies, alleviating feelings of anger, aggression, resentment, abandonment and neglect. Studies have confirmed that exposure to large amount of pink can have a calming effect on nerves. Pink is alsso associated with love, kindness, and femininity. The rosy pink palette was chosen to appeal to millennial mothers. 19

FACULTY CONNECTION HUB
CONCEPT & RESEARCH
The Design for NEXT University is inspired by a sunburst. Sunburst are bright colors and full of natural lighting, which are two key factors in this design. The colors used will be bright reds and oranges, with greys and white to tone it down. Bright colors stimulate creativity, while taking away fear and anxiety. There will be many large windows to allow natural lighting. The outdoors also stimulates creative thinking, so a major focus is allowing as much natural lighting as possible. While having a modern feel, the space will still remain inviting and comfortable. The chose of furniture will be comfortable and allow mobility. The open space will allow students to reconfigure the space, also providing space for group work and for induvial work. The goal is for the environment to make the students feel comfortable, confident, creative. 27

To design a luxury leather store located inside of a resort on a private island off the main island of Antigua. The design of the store is inspired by a snake. Snakes are found in tropical regions. Snakes can form themselves into many different forms, straight, curved, circular, they represent movement. Snake skin is commonly shown in fashion along with the actual figure of the snake (Gucci). The store will use color inspired by the snake, gold, browns, whites/creams, and black with some pops of green and red. The use of line is important for this design, showing curves and straight lines in the walls, furniture and flooring. Texture will be shown in the use of snake skin, choices of fabric and flooring.
