01 Hospitality LO CAT I O N: H ON OLU LU, H I D UR AT I ON : 16 W EEKS I N D I V I D UAL PROJ ECT FA L L 20 1 9 OBJECTIVE Developed a hotel renovation design in a city of choice. This up-scale boutique hotel included the client’s vision and used city inspiration. The design scope included spaceplanning of the lobby, restaurant, ballroom, and guest floor.
FU RN ITU RE
CONCEPT The intent behind the design for Hotel Kou was to take inspiration from the geography and architecture around the island from the 1960’s era. The focus of the space was to implement a bright and airy feel. This was accomplished by using an abundance of windows, painting walls white, and adding pops of rose pink and sage green. Simple and clean lined furniture was mixed with a whimsical flair to balanced retro and modern design. PROGRAMS USED Revit Photoshop InDesign

The task was to design a kitchen and bathroom with the floor plan provided by the NKBA.
CONCEPT Modern materials and finishes throughout the kitchen and bathroom made for a simple yet inviting space. Since the kitchen is a spot to linger, adding seating and natural light was necessary. The spa was the inspiration behind the bathroom design. Adding materials such as glass and subway tile made the space feel clean and modern.

07 Single-Family LOCAT I ON : IOWA G R O UP P R OJ ECT (6 PEOPLE) SP R I NG 201 8 OBJECTIVE Restored an old barn for a family of four. The father worked from home, the mother loved vibrant colors and sunlight, and their daughter had Autism. Making sure that all family members needs were met throughout the space was the main objective. Building a barn model to scale was an important part of the project. CONCEPT The family enjoyed the Bohemian Chic style. We incorporated that style throughout the design in patterns, textures, and furniture selections. As a group we researched what environments were best for individuals with Autism. We equally divided up responsibilities of the project. My portion of the project was to design the floor plan and make a rendering of the daughter’s room.
