EMILY RAE SCHMUCK INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
emilyraeschmuck@gmail.com
HI. I’M EMILY I am a designer, student, and artist with a passion for architecture and interior design. After completing my Bachelors of Science in Architectural Studies at the University of Missouri, I traded my spacious apartment in Missouri for a tiny studio in downtown Chicago and haven’t looked back since. I am currently workings towards my Master’s of Architecture with an emphasis in Interior Architecture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My days consist long hours of studio work, consuming large amounts of coffee, and exploring the breathtaking city of Chicago. I am eager to complete my Master’s degree and work towards becoming a licensed architect in the coming years. I strive to expand my knowledge and professional experience and continue to evolve as a designer. Please enjoy my work from throughout my undergraduate and graduate career.
Enjoy!

HORIZONTAL CIRCULATION
TERRACED BATHS AND BARS
The relationship between the slope of the mountain and its connection to the building drove the design of the massive gables protruding into the mountain. The gables mimic a mountain, almost becoming mountains themselves. Protruding the gables into the mountain at an angle, cantilevers the room end of the hotel up giving a higher view of the alps and the lake. It uses the earth as part of its stability by supporting the base of the gables on the room end of the hotel.

HORIZONTAL CIRCULATION
VERTICAL CIRCULATION
Because of the shape of the roof and its significance to the design, the circulation revolves around it. The vertical circulation is located on the far ends of each gable and the fire stairs follow the slope of the gable down each level. By incorporating exterior fire glazing to the circulation, it provides exceptional views and encourages guests to use these areas as they move around the hotel. The horizontal circulation is the central bridge connecting the two sections of the hotel. There is also an elevator in each gable, that like the stairs follows the slope of the roof to each floor.

This exploded axon highlights the layout of the room types as well as the roof structure (flashing, shingles, glazing, insulation, and timber beams). The 64 hotel rooms focus primarily around the view of the alps. Since the main the focus for visiting the hotel is for the baths, a unique bathing experience is created in the private guestrooms as well. Using carved, stone, freestanding tubs and a rain shower in a single area by the glazing of the room. Because of the layout, it has complete privacy and an amazing view for each room.
SITE PLAN 1:1500
The site of the hotel is in the southern Alps, Switzerland, just north of the Italian border, 100 miles northeast of Milano, driving along the shores of Lake Como. It is in the town of Sils Im Engadin, also known as Sils-Maria, which sits between the Silsersee and the Silvaplanersee, 10 km southwest of the famous resort of St. Moritz. The site is on Via da Fex as it climbs west out of Sils, with a view down the Silsersee toward the south west. It is approximately 460’ x 460’, is sloped approximately 200 feet down to the west north west, from a height of 6150 feet, and is forested.

autonomous transportation system GRADUATE STUDIO IV SPRING 2017
By 2050, many believe that the majority of our transportation will be based on an autonomous routing system. For the first phase of this project, the most efficient routing system for an autonomous vehicle was addressed. This community based routing plan is specific to each community in the city of Chicago. Each neighborhood will have a unique routing path based on the context of the site. The site shown is for Washington and Hyde Park in South Chicago and illustrates the most effective solution for this area. The vehicle loop continuously on this path. However, with an app based transportation system, you could order your pod and it would jump off this line to pick you up, jump back on the line, and continue to either bring you to your destination (if in the community) or a train stop to bring you downtown. This creates an intermodel transportation route with a central community hub located at E 63rd St and S Woodlawn Ave. Our thought was that you would only be in this bus for 5-10 minutes until it brought you to your destination or to your next mode of transportation. This would tailor your transportation to the user’s specific needs. And be more effective in getting you to your destination. Instead of having to take a bus for an hour to get downtown.

This autonomous vehicle illustrates what a bus in 2050 could appear as. Having the user’s experience as a priority resulted in creating a transparent vehicle that makes it easy to see and experience the city. Including a modular chair and floorplan maximizes the comfort of the passengers. By using electromagnets, the chairs can be moved to their desired location by the push of a button. Having a modular floorplan allows these vehicles to be used in other ways in hours where they are not used as frequently. Such as an ambulance (the exterior glass would use smart technology to change in opacity to provide privacy), or a coffee car that would attach to the end of a string of vehicles. The process models illustrate the features that contributed to creating the end product. The final design is a combination of the first two options which have a clear connection to each other (like puzzle pieces). And the third option which has a tapered feature to give the vehicle a sleek design. The section of a connection of the vehicles highlights the fluidity and the modularity of the floorplan. The connection between them would be completely open, utilizing an air curtain between the entry points.

autonomous transportation community hub GRADUATE STUDIO IV SPRING 2017
/HYHO
The central community hub is located at the intersection of E 63rd St and S Woodlawn Ave. It continues the concept of a transparent area that can easily be seen in and out of. It creates a unique way to experience the city. This design creates a landmark that would be unique to each community of Chicago. The floorplan is centered around the central information desk/ café & bar area. The circulation of the space revolves around this focal point and is easily seen from each of the four entrances. The hub is elevated above the intersection to draw attention to its location as well as increase access to it. You are able to get to the elevated platform by entering any of the four surrounding buildings. This will also help create a connection between the city of Chicago and local businesses. It not only helps the economy of the city of Chicago, but by making patrons cross through other businesses to arrive at the hub, it’ll strengthen local businesses. During the day the hub will act as a café and information center where you can buy access to the transportation vehicles (if you are not able to by smartphone). In the evening, it transforms into a bar and event space. Just like the vehicle design, the space is multifunctional. The panels that create the faceted canopy above the intersection, are made up of panels with technological features. These panels can be used for displaying advertisements, local news, community artwork, or even be solar panels to help power the hub. Throughout the hub the panels vary in opacity to maximize comfort for the users. And also supply areas for these more opaque panels to be display screens.

Hong Kong Columbarium GRADUATE STUDIO III FALL 2016
Hong Kong commonly incorporates columbarium’s into their culture as a way to honor those that have passed. As a requirement for the studio, implementing an additional program to these columbarium’s was the issue that needed to be addressed. I progressed with the idea of implementing agriculture and recycling as an additional program to my columbarium in Hong Kong, because all but 0.3% of their agricultural products are imported from China (as shown in the map above). Considering this issue along with the space constraints HK is facing, I designed my layout based on a series of intersecting volumes (each holding a set program). The additional program added being aquaponics, as it can pull in the agriculture and farming aspect. I continued with these ideas by detailing out the design for the site on Pok Fu Lam Road in HK. Given the sharp angle of the site, it was sliced to keep the idea of the shape of the intersecting volumes and allow a visual section to show the use of the building. You can tell on the exterior which programs are located where based which areas are solid (niche spaces) and which spaces house the aquaponics (curtain wall with wooden slats). The design addresses the conflict of space restrictions and agricultural imported products.

7 The transparent and sculptural facade creates an inviting atmosphere that captures the attention of pedestrians and residents of the area, specifically students and local artists. Introducing the component of art into the setting of a wine bar, will enhance the environment by providing the uniquespaces not currently offered nearby. By incorporating multiple angles in the design, this allows for multiple views to be captured from various areas of the space. The transparency allows for one to see the surrounding landmarks and also for those passing by to be aware of the uses of the building. Capturing these views takes a priority in the design to imply the significance of the site and the surrounding area. The coexistence of art and a wine bar in a single space sets the use of this building apart from buildings offering only one or the other.

Airstream Trailer UNDERGRADUATE STUDIO IV FALL 2015
PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE
Airstream trailers have been an iconic product for many decades. This design creates a collaborative environment to accommodate a musical group. By emphasizing a unity between each space with contrasts between curves and geometric shapes, it creates a dynamic area that promotes work and relaxation. This is done by focusing on multi-functional space and a transparent work environment. To make use of the linear space, the floorplan is open with no dividing walls. The curved dining area faces the entire space to allow for many functions and encourage a collaborativeenvironment. The three lounge chairs have the ability to turn 360 degrees to enhance this environment and openness of the design. As you move to the opposite end of the trailer, the toilet room and shower have curved walls to invite the transition from public to private without fully closing off the space. As you continue past these rooms you enter the sleeping area, which contains three bunk beds and a wardrobe space. By creating an open and collaborative area, this design is ideal for being used my multiple people.

Equality Church UNDERGRADUATE STUDIO I FALL 2013
TOP ELEVATION
SIDE ELEVATION
The site of this church is on Stephan’s College campus in Columbia, Missouri. The space exhibits qualities that welcomes people of all religions. The use of equilateral triangles throughout the design represents the equality of all religions represented in the space. The heavy use of natural lighting indicates the presence of a higher power (light coming from above). The natural lighting can be accessed from nearly every space within the building. The elevating end of the building allows the windows along the main wall of the sanctuary to capture southern light for a greater impact of lighting in the highest used area of the church. The abstract design stands out in the open area of its location. The church is situated near a highly populated street to capture the interest of pedestrians and people driving by.
