PROJECT: Historic Preservation Adaptive Reuse
FURNITURE FLOOR PLAN
DOCUMENTS: Furniture Plan Renderings INDIVIDUAL PROJECT SQUARE FOOTAGE: 2,091 OBJECTIVE: Transform a historic building constructed in 1920 into a residential/commmercial space through adaptive reuse. The client, a history professor at the Univeristy of Northern Iowa, has requested to remodel the building without losing its historical charm.
SMOKESTACK
CONCEPT: Inspired by the rich history of the 1920s, I chose to design a speakeasy. It is inspired by prohibition era, in which America experienced large economic growth and newfound wealth. An open floorplan with VIP section as well as traditional seating has been provided. A selfie wall is included to encourage customer brand involvement, relationship, and promotion via social media posts.
6
RENDERINGS: If more privacy is desired, this enclosed corner space is the ideal retreat. Perfect for intimate conversations and moments with friends, this space offers a feeling of security with red velvet upholstered seating and warm neutral tones. Old newspaper clippings allow a glance back in time to prohibition era in its prime.

RENDERINGS: After walking through the secret passage bookcase doors, the speakeasy greets visitors with a large feauture wall designed to be used as a backdrop for guests and a marketing tool for the business. The Edison-style lights adorn the wall and trickle down for added lighting to achieve the perfect “selfie glow.” Vintage barrels can be found throughout the establishment as an added decorative element.

RENDERINGS: The central bar is constructed out of hammered copper and worn brick. The structural wood overhang above the bar is sectioned off and compartmentalizes the bar service area. A large mirror decorates the back bar wall and adds interest to the small space. Canned lighting directly above the shelving units creates depth and ambience.

RENDERINGS: An outdoor patio was created from leftover concrete wall and floor slabs from the 1920s. This space was originally the location of a greenhouse attached to a flower and gardening shop in the 1920s. Living plant walls and planters arranged throughout the patio act as an ode to the past. Covered seating allows guests to sit outdoors rain or shine while providing thermal comfort.

CHAIR CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN
15
PROJECT: Chair Construction DOCUMENTS: Preliminary concept sketches Completed product photography images INDIVIDUAL PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Design a full scale chair from scratch using alternative and/or sustainable materials. CONCEPT: For this project, I wanted to design a chair that reflected my passions and hobbies as an individual in a creative way. Traveling is one of my passions and I love discovering different parts of the world. I decided to upcycle a vintage suitcase rather than dispose of it. I drilled pillows into the interior of the suitcase, used button tufting, and upholstered the exterior of the suitcase with a screenprinted world map fabric. I added recycled post legs to the bottom as well as a wooden back support.

PROJECT: Nonprofit LEED Certified
FURNITURE FLOOR PLAN
DOCUMENTS: Furniture Plan Reflected Ceiling Plan Renderings
SQUARE FOOTAGE: 4,770 OBJECTIVE: Design and plan a LEED certified office space for a nonprofit organization. Client requests: print station, collaborative space, storage space, 2 executive offices, break area. This space must also be suited to house small community social events.
STORAGE
BREAK AREA
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT CONFERENCE
UTL. RECEPTION
CONCEPT: Autism Speaks is a nonprofit organization that holds a special place in my heart. As a member of Alpha Xi Delta, I supported Autism Speaks during my entire collegiate experience through philanthropic events organized and hosted by my university chapter. I took inspiration from the puzzle piece logo and the organization’s official colors blue and yellow. The geometric shapes are symbolic of a puzzle piece. The way the elements are laid out brings the entire space together, similar to a puzzle when it is in its completed form. Herman Miller office furniture is exclusively used in all office and work systems.

REFLECTED CEILING PLAN In order to maximize the use of natural light and minimize the amount of artif icial light, curtain walls were incorporated into the conference room and break room to allow natural light to f ilter in and diffuse throughout the space. Pendant task lighting was installed in the small collaboration nook near the break room. Drop ceilings above the reception and workstation desks add interest and a pop of color.

PRELIMINARY PROCESS In order to satisfy all of the client’s needs in this project, diagrams were created to identify important adjacencies and proximities. The print station and storage space did not need to be immediately next to other spaces, and were placed based on amount of space left after major adjacencies were identified and situated. The conference room was determined to be the ‘heart’ of the organization and circulation and travel flow was centered around it. The overall space plan and design of this office building was heavily grounded in Evidence Based Design. EBD was used to uncover possible solutions to client problems and enhance the built environment.

RENDERINGS: The lobby and reception of the Autism Speaks corporate office welcomes visitors and employees with an abundance of natural light. Low VOC Patcraft carpet tiles and small wall planters were added to satisfy the LEED credit ‘Indoor Environmental Quality.’ The reception desk is constructed of bamboo, earning a ‘Materials And Resources’ LEED credit. The art piece on the wall was composed by a local artist with autism.

Due to the high level of employee collaboration Autism Speaks requires, the space was planned to utilize the open office concept. The building space previously existed, satisfying the ‘Materials and Resources’ LEED credit. The building is located in the heart of Chicago, enabling public and bicycle transit, thus satisfying the LEED credit: ‘Sustainable Sites.’ A ‘touchdown’ space is located near the open workstations for additional collaboration.

RENDERINGS: The kitchen and break room is strongly influenced by ‘biophilia,’ meaning a love of nature. Bamboo and greenery are two key elements in this area. With views to nature from the kitchen and glass walls to diffuse natural light, this space emenates light and successfully blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. A low VOC LVT flooring was selected based on its durability and cleanibility. It also lightens up the space and keeps the natural look.

* ANNOTATIONS ARE PROVIDED IN COSIDERATION OF CURRENT HOSPITALITY AND RESTAURANT DESIGN TRENDS. DUE TO THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF THIS BOUTIQUE HOTEL, THE CURRENT TREND: BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN OUTDOORS AND INDOORS, WAS CHOSEN. THIS TREND WAS CHOSEN TO INVOKE A SENSE OF BEING CLOSE TO NATURE WITHIN THE USER AND TO IMPROVE MOOD THROUGH NATURAL LIGHTING AND BIOPHILIC COMPONENTS. DESIGN INTENT WILL BE FURTHER ILLUSTRATED THROUGH RENDERINGS INCLUDED IN THIS PROJECT.
INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES:
CONCEPT: Taking inspiration from the bright vibrant colors of Honolulu and the laid back island way of life, I chose to incorporate bright blues, greens, and pinks. Inspired by the unique culture of Hawaii and the breathtaking Hawaiian sunsets and beaches, I used warm tones of orange, brown, and beige. Locally available materials that are native to the Hawaiian Islands were also incorporated.

RESTAURANT FURNITURE PLAN The Shaka Shack is the bar and restaurant attached to the Pua ‘Ilima Boutique Hotel. The Shaka Shack design is rooted in the ancient and sacred Polynesian culture that has been present in the islands and its people for thousands of years. Inspiration is also taken from the strong presence of the sport of surfing on the island. The Shaka Shack serves traditional Polynesian and Japanese dishes with a signature Hawaiian twist.

The Shaka Shack Logo was created based on the theme of restaurant. The ‘ shaka’ sign, also known as the ‘hang loose’ sign, is a sign universally understood by surfers worldwide. It is a friendly gesture among surfers and is commonly associated with Hawaii surf culture. The Shaka Shack is known as a casual and friendly spot to stop by and experience great food and even greater atmosphere.
RENDERINGS: Porcelain tile floor was used to assist in temperature control because of its natural cooling abilities. A living plant wall complete with a two story waterfall can be seen behind the check-in counter. Structural columns are installed with water features on all sides. Different floor coverings distinguish waiting from circulation. Each sofa has a planter incorporated into its side. The lobby is meant to create the feeling of being close to nature.

RENDERINGS: Shaka Shack is a vibrant and entertaining bar and grill. With plantlife everywhere, surfboard wallpaper lining the back walls, and tiki masks gazing down upon guests, it is inspired by a night out in Honolulu. Kirei board is applied to the bar counter as well as guest seating and tables. Coco tile is a recycled material. When applied to a surface, it acts as an acoustic barrier between the bar and the hotel lobby.

The excursion room is separate from the main hotel lobby. This room is where guests book offsite tours, day trips, and events to experience the lovely island of Oahu away from the hotel. A local artist was commissioned to paint the mural on the wall. The mural may also serve as a ‘selfie moment’ for tourists where they may have their photograph taken and uploaded to their social media. The publicity will stimulate brand awareness and set the Pua ‘Ilima Hotel apart from its competitors.
