SARAH JOHNSON INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO

Hi there! My name is Sarah Johnson. I consider myself half Texan and half Arkansasan, which throughout my life has given me a deep love and appreciation of both rural and urban spaces. Fortunately for me, design has allowed me to blend together these contrasting styles and provided an opportunity to develop a rich passion for the way in which people, architecture, and nature come together. I am currently a senior at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville pursuing a Bachelors of Interior Design. While design is a major focus in my life, in my free time I like to channel my creativity into pottery, weaving, cross-stitching, and the culinary arts.

ABOUT ME

DESIGN THEORY

At its best, design should be protective, be helpful, be beautiful, be respectful, be conscious, and be accessible. At the core of design lies the human interaction. Every line, measurement, and selection drawn by a designer affects lives, and I believe that we as designers have a responsibility to maintain and strengthen that connection. Design should protect the user and the environment, and be helpful to all it encounters. It should be beautifully crafted and beautifully conscious. Most importantly, design should be accessible. Whatever other challenges a person faces - effective and accessible design should not be on the list. As designers we have a duty to provide protective, helpful, beautiful, respectful, conscious, and accessible design to all, and throughout my career I strive to take this call seriously.

RE:FRESH SPA PROJECT BRIEF

This project program requires a soothing spa environment that‘s design is centered around the Tunica tribal history. The spa includes a women’s and men’s locker room and pool area, with special attention being paid to the revenue-generating women’s amenities. Co-ed pool and lounge areas must also be accommodated, along with multifunctional treatment rooms. A salon and spa administrative area are also included in the space, but are not in the design scope. The design must also be aware of safety and comfort, as the guests are in a vulnerable state while visiting the spa, therefore the design solution incorporates comfort as a key factor. CHALLENGE

To design a space that embraces the Tunica history while establishing a comforting and successful spa environment

GOALS

Utilize the Tunica history of migration down the Mississippi River as a key factor in design through 'water' spaces and 'land' spaces

SOLUTION

Designed curved walls and used a parti that takes on the character of the Mississippi River Incorporated blue and smooth materials in 'water' spaces and earthy and rugged materials in 'land' spaces

POP- UP SPACE PROJECT BRIEF

This project emphasizes strategic spatial divisions and the contrast between large and intimate spaces. Space is divided by semi-transparent partitions, multi-functional pop-up elements, and changes in ground levels. The fold and stack actions are utilized effectively to construct partitions and pop-up elements. The building is located off of the downtown square in Fayetteville, AR . The project utilizes its location as a driving factor for bringing in the community through several different events and methods. CHALLENGE

To design a space that could be utilized in many different ways, from a Christmas store to a Margarita bar and silent auction

GOALS

Create many dynamic spaces within an otherwise ordinary building Think outside of the box to create movable partitions

SOLUTION

Designed vertical expanding semi-transparent partitions and free standing horizontal partitions Lowered a section of the space below grade to delineate different areas

ASSEMBLAGE PROJECT BRIEF

The goal of this project was to find inspiration in the methods of making a shoe and the design concepts of a shoe. I chose to study a Doc Marten shoe, and found great inspiration in the stitching and binding of the shoe. This physical representation of the design seeks to capture this moment of making and the magic that happens between the layers. The project provides a bundle of mass somehow "floating" in transparent casing, effectively capturing the moment and giving it a weightless aspect. CHALLENGE

Take a shoe and deconstruct it, then re-imagine it as a "3D collage" of ideas and moments of the shoe

GOALS

Capture the moment in time of taking layers of the shoe and splitting them apart

SOLUTION

Use wood panels to represent layers, held together by string and acrylic pipes, floating weightlessly in acrylic casing

SHOE COMPANY HQ PROJECT BRIEF

This project seeks to capture the moment of the intricate workings of building a shoe, the makings of a company and a healthy employee atmosphere. This is accomplished by incorporating woven aspects in ceiling and in furniture. The weaving makes space, creating the feeling of being inside of the textiles, the company, and a work family. The project is located in a multi-story building converted from a Campbell's soup factory which now houses several offices and residences. CHALLENGE

To work around a challenging column grid and limited natural light to create a productive and enjoyable work environment for an eco-friendly shoe company headquarters.

GOALS

Make sure the offices reflected the brand well, emphasized a respect for the environment, and make the employees feel at home and in a tight knit connection with the company.

SOLUTION

Utilize an interwoven concept to create space and an interesting ceiling structure Give structured spaces a fluid quality with collapsible glass partitions to reinforce collaboration

TWISTED FRUIT GROCERY PROJECT BRIEF

This project focuses on finding a successful solution for an out-of-use grocery store in Fayetteville, AR. By evaluating the food presence in Fayetteville and seeing where any gaps are, the conclusion was made that this program should reflect the most important needs: to provide, to engage, and to shop local. The building incorporates a cafe, a local grocery market, a demonstration kitchen, and a flexible event space that could be used for local artisans or vendors. Spatially, the design uses fruits and vegetables as inspiration, and emphasizes a pomegranate concept throughout the space. CHALLENGE

To design a space that can involve the community, focus on food, and create a fun, whimsical, and effective space for food business and education

GOALS

Create a space that is used for multiple purposes all centered on food Utilize the pomegranate theme effectively without being too bold or overpowering

SOLUTION

Utilized clear glass walls and a column grid system to be able to incorporate an indoor/outdoor experience for the community Focused on whimsical curves and bold colors for an exciting food centered space
