O B J E C T I V E Design an interior environment composed of five distinct spaces whose spatial qualities work together to support a specific range of experiences. The spatial scheme must incorporate degrees of openness and have an intentional hierarchy of spaces. Use the Golden Ratio as an ordering system to generate these distinct but connected spaces. Threshold, transition, aperture and light are keys elements in this project.
S H A P I N G PROJECT
S P A C E S ONE
This project was approached with the intent to explore relationships between the form of an enclosure and its effect on the shape of the resulting interior spaces. Additionally, a focus was placed on the user experience within those created spaces. The form of the enclosure and the shape of interior space was reached by manipulating a rectangular enclosure using a system based on regulating lines and Golden proportions. A hierarchy of space was established using a range of scaled spaces, varying from a comfortable space on the upper terrace to the monumental spaces of the more enclosed interior. The hierarchy created is interesting in that while the movement is directed from a monumental space down to a comfortable space, the degree of enclosure is reduced at the same time, creating an opening experience while still decreasing the scale of the space. The movement through the space also follows the light, again following that opening experience. When a person enters the grand space featuring the stairs, a natural upward pull is felt, directed by the light and the interest of the upper level space. It brings the center of the experience upward, reaching. This desire for ascension is a very spiritual human desire, and this inspired a color palette that reflected this calm, connected feeling. A naturally cool green is warmed by a soft yellow and warm grey, inspired by Josef Albers’ Homage to the Square: Apparition.

O B J E C T I V E Create an image and brand delivered through interior design. Design how the space will look as a graphic package conveyed through space planning, wall designs, materials, furnishings, and logo and signage design. Create renderings illustrating play of light-shadow, tonality changes for forms and spatial depth, color, scale figures and believable materials as well as furnishings. Group project with Raina Shin.

Benny Watson’s at Chapel Hill offers a unique casual dining and social gathering experience. The juxtaposed palette of rustic and industrial finishes creates an atmosphere that is vintage with an edge, indicative of the aesthetic of the Benny’s brand. A variance in space is created to cater to all varieties of patrons, accommodating large groups as easily as individual diners. This allows for a spectrum of socialization to occur at Benny Watson’s, which is key considering its proximity to University of North Carolina’s Chapel Hill campus. The overall experience of Benny Watson’s is crafted to evoke the youthful culture of the area by creating an energetic and engaging environment with opportunities for interaction within the community.

The mural featured on the wall opposite the kitchen is by Polish graffiti artist Seikon.
The name Benny Watson’s is derived from John H. Watson, Chapel Hill’s first elected mayor.
The partition panels surrounding the mid-size group seating area are inspired by the vertical geometric forms and repitition present in the iconic Old Well at UNC, as well as a nod to the traditional Carolina Blue.

A key goal in the design of the space was to preserve the initial program requirement of ordering and waiting, before dispersing to the seating areas. A clear, straight path along a central axis is visually apparent upon entry to the cashier, where one would order. This unobstructed path both allows for easy visual recognition as well as a logical and unobtrusive area for a queue to form. A spacious dedicated waiting area allows for customers to move out of the way of the ordering queue while still allowing for proximity to the counter. Once food is received, the customers have the opportunity to sit at a variety of settings. Spaces for different dining experiences are implicitly demarcated in Benny Watson’s through the use of lighting, furnishing, and circulation paths. There is a hierarchy of spaces ranging from open ” to more intimate through the use of lighting, moving from recessed lights, to dangling fixtures that begin to enter the demarcated space, to strip lighting recessed in a partial enclosure. The varying levels of intimacy add to the encouragement for social interaction in the design. B EN N Y ” S P IZ Z A

O B J E C T I V E Study a vessel and its characteristics and spatial attributes. Illustrate its qualities diagrammatically, establishing a new understanding about a familiar subject, and further explore with different degrees of visual abstraction. Explore the concepts of “linear progression” and “density of morph”, and create a patterned two-dimensional design of color, tone, space, and shape. Incorporate aspects of research.

In music, linear progression describes a harmonic situation in which a chord is progressed by a melodic phrase moving in a stepwise fashion while the root of the chord is sustained.
LINEAR PROGRESSION IN
MUSIC AND DESIGN
The composition of this graphic is inspired by that musical principle, and displays a “stepwise� linear development of the section of the vessel. the overarching form of the graphic remains solid, illustrating the sustained sanctity of the chord due to the sustainted ANCHOR note.
