ELYSE M A S E K

I BELIEVE GOOD DESIGN CAPTURES BOTH THE USABILITY OF THE SPACE AND THE COMFORT OF THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. WITH EACH PROJECT, I STRIVE TO CREATE A DESIGN THAT IS INNOVATIVE, EXCITING, AND FUNCTIONAL FOR ALL. TO ME, INTERIOR DESIGN IS MORE THAN CREATING A SPACE- IT MEANS CREATING AN EXPERIENCE.

NDRICK ONCOLOGY CENTER ABILEN E , T EXAS

HENDRICK HOSPITAL IN ABILENE, TEXAS IS IN NEED OF A NEW ONCOLOGY CENTER. MY MISSION AS THE DESIGNER IS TO CREATE A SPACE THAT INCLUDES A NEW RADIATION CENTER, FOOD SERVICE SPACE, IN AND OUT-PATIENT WINGS, AS WELL AS ENOUGH WAITING AND LOBBY AREAS TO SATISFY OCCUPANCY LOADS. I DESIGNED A VIBRANT AND ENERGIZING SPACE INFLUENCED BY THE GROWTH AND LONGEVITY OF A SUNFLOWER.

CENTRAL HUB OF NOURISHMENT OTHER

CONCEPT

CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT MADE CANCER PATIENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE, AT EASE, AND LESS LIKE JUST ANOTHER PATIENT WAS A CRUCIAL GOAL I KEPT IN MIND DURING MY DESIGN PROCESS. AFTER INTERVIEWING A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR WHO ENDURED A STERILE, CROWDED ONCOLOGY CENTER, I FOCUSED ON CREATING A SPACE THAT REFLECTED THE IDEA OF NOURISHMENT AND STRENGTH. SUNFLOWERS ARE SYMBOLS OF LONGEVITY AND POWER- THESE ARE THE IDEAS I WANT CANCER PATIENTS TO BE DRAWN TOWARDS DURING THEIR HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE. JUST AS THE SUNFLOWER RECEIVES ALL OF IT’S NUTRIENTS FROM ITS CENTER, I PLACED SPACES OF REVIVAL AND NOURISHMENT LIKE THE CHAPEL AND COUNSELING CENTER IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FLOOR PLAN.

WE THINK IS LOOKING TO UPDATE THEIR CURRENT OFFICE INTO A SPACE THAT REFLECTS THEIR COMPANY’S MISSION OF CREATIVITY AND TRANSPARENT RELATIONSHIPS. BY INCORPORATING EYE-CATCHING CEILING FEATURES AND TRANSPARENT GLASS WALLS THROUGHOUT THE SPACE, I GAVE WETHINK AN INNOVATIVE AND INSPIRING SPACE TO WORK IN.

OMA’ S BAKERY

LEIPZ IG , G ER M A NY

OMA’S BAKERY IS LOCATED IN LEIPZIG, GERMANY AND SITS ALONGSIDE A BUSY CITY STREET. INSPIRED FROM COZY GERMAN COTTAGES, I CREATED A SPACE THAT FELT LIKE OMA’S HOUSE- COMFORTABLE , WELCOMING, AND INVITING.

CONCEPT

WHEN DESIGNING OMA’S BAKERY, I CHANNELED THE SURROUNDING CULTURE OF LEIPZIG, GERMANY AND MADE A SPACE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE CITY WOULD BE COMFORTABLE IN. MY SKETCHES REFLECT IDEAS THAT CAN BE FOUND THROUGHOUT THE BAKERY- I CHOSE TO CREATE A FEATURE WALL INSPIRED FROM OLD GRAIN SACKS AND HAVE A MURAL WALL NEAR THE FRONT ENTRANCE THAT WOULD ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE. DESIGNING WITH THE INTENT OF CREATING AN OLD SCHOOL, TRADITIONAL BAKERY THAT INCORPORATED MODERN ELEMENTS LIKE LIGHTING AND SEATING, I CHOSE MATERIALS THAT ELEVATED THE COTTAGE AESTHETIC I WAS AIMING FOR.

THE LOOKOUT BOOKSTORE A MSTE RDA M , N E T H ER L AN D S

THE LOOKOUT FEATURES A TWO LEVEL BOOKSTORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, AND A RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT IN THE BACK OF THE STORE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE OWNERS. INSPIRED BY THE DE-STIJL STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE, I CREATED AN EXTERIOR THAT FEATURES STRAIGHT LINES AND BOXY SHAPES, WHILE ADDING DIMENSION TO THE INTERIOR BY ADDING POPS OF PRIMARY COLORS.

APPROXIMATELY 1552 SQ. FT, THE LOOKOUT IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED WITH AN ADA ACCESSIBLE PARKING LOT AND HAS PATIO SEATING WITH VIEWS OF THE RIVER.

CONCEPT

INSPIRED FROM THE DE-SITJL STYLE BORN IN THE NETHERLANDS IN THE EARLY 1920'S, THE LOOKOUT IS A TWO STORY COMMERCIAL GRADE AND ADA ACCESSIBLE BOOKSTORE THAT OVERLOOKS A BLANKET OF WATER. THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING FEATURES GEOMETRIC WINDOWS AND HORIZONTAL PLANES THAT ARE REMINISCENT OF THE SCHRODER HOUSE. THE BOXY EXTERIOR IS PROMINENT IN DE-STIJL ARCHITECTURE AND I INCORPORATED THIS GEOMETRY INSIDE AS WELL.

LUXURY DUBAI PENTHOUSE

ELI T E TOWE R

ON THE 62ND FLOOR OF THE ELITE TOWER , A WEALTHY COUPLE IS LOOKING TO UPGRADE THEIR CURRENT LIVING SITUATION AND MOVE INTO A LUXURIOUS AND MODERN APARTMENT. THE SPACE SHOULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THEIR ELEGANT LIFESTYLE AND INCORPORATE MODERN ELEMENTS OF DUBAI CULTURE.

45

CONCEPT

IN THE MIDDLE EAST, NOT ONLY IS THE COLOR GREEN REPRESENTATIVE OF PEACE, SPIRITUALITY, AND DIVINE GENEROSITY, BUT IT ALSO REPRESENTS THE RELIGION OF ISLAM. BECAUSE MY CLIENTS ARE PRACTICING MUSLIMS AND NATIVE ARABS, INCORPORATING THE ELEGANCE OF THE EMERALD GREEN COLOR SCHEME INTO MY SPACE WILL BE ESSENTIAL TO MY DESIGN.

CANADIAN MORPHHOUSE CAPIL A NO L AK E , CAN ADA

BEGINNING WITH A BASIC RECTANGULAR HOUSE, WE WERE GIVEN THE CHALLENGE OF MAKING 20 TRANSFORMATIONS AND CHOOSING A FINAL TRANSFORMATION TO BUILD- A MORPHED HOUSE LARGE ENOUGH FOR ONE PERSON TO LIVE IN. WHEN CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR OUR MORPH HOUSE, WE HAD TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION SUN ANGLES, VIEWS, AND THE USE OF OUR SPACE. BECAUSE OF THE LARGE WINDOWS ON THE EITHER SIDE OF MY TINY HOUSE, I ORIENTED MY WINDOWS NORTH WHERE LIGHT IS MOST EVEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

52

53

AFTER HAND DRAFTING THESE TRANSFORMATIONS, I MADE SEVERAL STUDY MODELS TO EXAMINE SUN ANGLES AND ORIENTATION.

56

AFTER STUDYING THE SITE PLAN, THE FINAL MODEL INCLUDED THE ACTUAL SITE OF CAPILANO LAKE IN CANADA.

RIBBON CHAIR

60

FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT, I WAS ASKED TO CONSTRUCT A STURDY AND USABLE CHAIR MADE SPECIFICALLY FROM WOOD. AFTER STUDYING TYPICAL CHAIR DIMENSIONS, I SKETCHED IDEAS FOR CHAIRS THAT CHALLENGED THE RIGIDITY AND INFLEXIBILITY TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH WOOD. WITH THIS IDEA IN MIND, I CHOSE TO CREATE A CHAIR THAT HAD MOVEMENT AND RHYTHM TO ITS SHAPE. CREATING EACH PIECE INDIVIDUALLY IN AUTOCAD AND TRANSFERRING THE DATA TO A CNC ROUTER, I CONSTRUCTED EACH PIECE IN A WAY THAT REPLICATED THE SHAPE OF A FREE FLOWING RIBBON. METAL RODS SUPPORT THE BASE OF THE CHAIR AS WELL AS THE SEAT AND TOP. BECAUSE OF THESE SUPPORTS AND EXTRA STABILITY IN THE BASE, YOU CAN SIT IN THE RIBBON CHAIR WITHOUT IT BREAKING!

61

FL AME L AMP

SIMILAR TO THE CHAIR P CONSTRUCTING A WORK MOVEMENT, I FOCUSED AND GRADUALLY INCRE BASE. THIS RESULTED IN EMITTING FROM THE ED OF TRACING PAPER TO D SUPPLEMENTAL BASE P WIRING AND CORDS.

62

PROJECT, I WAS CHALLENGED WITH THE TASK OF KING LAMP FROM WOOD. CONTINUING THE CONCEPT OF ON THE IDEA OF ROTATION. I TOOK ONE PIECE OF WOOD EASED THE SIZE WHILE ROTATING IT AROUND A CIRCULAR N A SHAPE SIMILAR TO A FLAME. BECAUSE THE LIGHT DISON LIGHT BULB WAS TOO HARSH, I ADDED A SIMPLE PIECE DIFFUSE THE LIGHT. IN ADDITION, I CREATED A PIECE TO CONCEAL BULKY ELEMENTS OF THE ELECTRICAL
