HOTEL AND LEISURE
CAIM HOTEL BA (HONS) INTERIOR DESIGN MODULE 1 A clean and minimalistic approach was taken for the design of the entirety of the hotel allowing the space to feel relaxing, calming and peaceful. The hotel includes spaces that have unique elements to them and they exude a captivating and subtle atmosphere, boasting beautiful wooden furniture and bespoke items. The hotel has an appealing and elegant simplicity and each detail has been carefully thought-out.

SOUTH STAIR GILBERT SCOTT BUILDING, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW The new design of the South stair space was developed so that it would enhance both the heritage value and also the functionality of one of the University' leading ambassadorial spaces. Key elements of the new scheme include an authentic Gothic Revival colour scheme decorated with a rich stencil design combining emblems of Scotland and the University and intricate brass chandeliers. Old furnishings were replaced by a Gothic-style timber reception desk and bench seating.

PARKS AND RECREATION
DEAN ACRES, COMRIE, PLAY AREA For this project the brief requested that I follow a nautical theme and make the space accessible to all users. To create the play area I used an eye catching large play unit in the form of a lighthouse which offered a multitude of climbing, sliding an imaginary play opportunities. The rest of the space was designed keeping in mind the need for accessibility by creating a central pathway and easily accessed play equipment.

Simply scan the QR Code on the unit, which provides a gateway to all kinds of interactive learning experiences which can be taken home at the end of the playing day. The benefits of this revolutionary concept are huge. It encourages inter generational play and social inclusion, and is an inspiration for good social behaviour through the development of language and communication learning. This truly is ‘state of the art’ and a fabulous communities. resource for the local com mmunities.
