Grace Osman Interior Design Portfolio 2024 Virginia Tech
Grace Osman
Greetings!
My name is Grace Osman and I am a fourth year interior design student at Virginia Tech. I am also pursuing a minor in Residential Environments. Exploring the design process has been a lifelong passion of mine. Whenever I step into a new space, I’m inevitably drawn to the question: How could this environment be tailored to better suit the needs and experiences of its users? Outside of designing, I enjoy painting and game nights with friends and family.

Steelcase 2023 Competition
Tasked to create a workplace for NEXT, a global architecture and interior design firm.
The concept is derived from a palette, which is a thin board or slab on which an artist lays and mixes colors. Which is similar to the process of how designers work, blending spaces and ideas together to make cohesive spaces. Further, the concept aims to create a blend of spaces that will transform the interior design firm’s workplace into a fluid and engaging environment that reflects the firm’s passion for creativity, color, and innovation. The space features fluid circulation with curves on the floor, walls, and ceiling mimicking the forms of a paint palette. Drawing inspiration from a paint palette, materials include light wood and bright colors, complemented by lighter surfaces and contrasted by black accents.
The space plan embodies the concept by seamlessly blending workstations. The large workstation area accommodates healthcare, education, and corporate studios, promoting collaboration with interconnected spaces. The mezzanine serves as a creative hub with an open work café, pin-up space, and the wildcard art center.

Color Inspiration
The color scheme is inspired by the RGB color model, featuring the primary blending of cyan, yellow, and magenta, with additional accents of red, green, and blue in the space. These colors are lightened and function as a harmonious blend of accents throughout. To further the color concept, bold pops of cyan, yellow, and magenta are in three key zones that the NEXT firm felt highlighted how they design. The innovation, creative, and learning lab all create this color rule by being the brighest colors in the space.
CREATE: Yellow is a color known for it’s energy and emphasizes the creative process that can occur in the lab.
INNOVATE: Magenta is known as a being stimulating and warm color, representing new innovations the lab can bring.
LEARN: Cyan is known to be clarifying and balanced, highlighting the type of learning that can happen in the classroom.

Libraries are transforming their collections to make room for new spaces and technologies that meet the evolving needs of their users. Academic libraries are using these new spaces for students to study, relax, and concentrate.
Creating a simplistic environment where students can concentrate on their work, a serene experience can be achieved through the use of smooth materials, soothing color palette, comfortable seating, natural lighting, and easy way finding to further enhance the overall user experience.
Designing with serenity in mind can have a significant impact on student success, improving concentration and productivity, and enhancing overall wellbeing. Simple clean curved forms and layers of light are repeated throughout the space, creating a cohesive design.

After researching the surrounding site, it became clear that there was limited access to food, posing a challenge for users trying to obtain meals during work.
The coworking space aims to foster community through food and address the limited food accessibility. The concept takes inspiration from farmers markets. Drawing inspiration from farmers markets, the design incorporates woven materials, tent-like structures, wood, and other elements synonymous with these markets.
The ideal tech startup company for this space is Instacart, renowned for their mission to make food accessible to everyone. Not only will this move enable Instacart to further their mission, but it also presents an opportunity for the company to partner with the family-owned Roanoke Fruit and Produce which is situated 300 feet from the site, further cementing bringing local community into the workplace.

Tasked to create a skybox for a CEO of a major music recording company.
Renowned record producer Izzy Ross, the creative force behind Global Gleam Studios, stands at the forefront of the disco resurgence. Izzy empowers artists to shine, blending modern sounds with the glittering allure of disco tracks. The nu-disco genre of dance music combines electronic programming, synthesizers, live instruments, and samples of classic soul, funk, and disco songs. The concept strives to create an atmosphere of the disco spirit, mimicking the characteristics of a disco ball through reflections, vertical and circular movement, illumination, and spherical elements. Materials will focus on reflection and transparency with sustainability as a driver in decision-making. Additionally, a monochromatic color scheme of blues will bring a sleek and luxurious atmosphere and create cohesion among reflective and transparent surfaces.
Company Logo
The space plan reflects the concept through a central art installation of the forms of a disco ball reconstructed, drawing the eye and guiding traffic with its placement at the core of the design. The bar and lounge areas are reflections of one another, creating staggered diagonal movements, reminiscent of the reflective qualities of a disco ball.
