In this project, interior design and fashion marketing students collaborated to create a retail shop. My client’s mission is to encourage people to support the green movement by wearing redesigned, lightly worn garments. The end result is a unique place where beautiful pieces that are Eco-fashion conscious can be sold.

Currently trending in the Mission District are stores that have a double purpose. Trezoure offers a unique combination of a retail environment and a Tea Bar.
ADJACENCIES Two columns were added to compliment the pre-existing ones and created a focal point that draws you in. Upon entering, customers can shop or enjoy a cup of tea. It was important to give customers a full view of the merchandise when they first enter and to draw them in further with interesting vertical features that take advantage of the 15 foot ceiling.

Tea Shops have an increasing popularity in San Francisco
The Tea Bar is a spot where customers can relax & sip tea while waiting for their friend or significant other to finish shopping, or for the employees to meet with their clients.

Trezoure’s interior design and garments are connected through the history of art and design. Inspiration for the garments originates from fashion history & the interior of the past. A contemporary touch is added to create a timeless environment.

Trezoure encourages customers to see the creative process of the Fashion Designers. Customers can see them in their work space through a glass wall. This way they know how the store functions in all aspects.

In this project I explore how interior design can bridge the past and the present. Relocating Oakland Library’s History Room from the Main Library to a historic building was part of the challenge.

Through History and Architecture
Libraries are a storehouse of vast knowledge about the world in which we live. By moving the library to a historic building, we learn about history while being inside history. Understanding the operations of the past will help us be ready for the future. Inspiration

The stacks are located in the Victorian Inspired area of the History Room. Here one can travel through time and discover Oakland’s rich past. The floor is the existing but refinished wood planks, and the ceiling a soft white. The furniture throughout the space are Victorian replicas for people to enjoy.
The neutral material selection allows the walls, which are the transitional elements, to join two aesthetically different spaces. Here in the reading area, one can visually experience Oakland’s evolution through a faceted window.
The window’s facets are symbolic of how history comes from different points of view and it is important to see them all.

CLIENTS & LOCATION
Within our homes, we experience private and public spaces on
LIGHT
a personal level. In this project I was able to explore ways to make connections
There are many between private and public spaces ways to create separations. Walls and changes by using light as a key in levels are the simplest way, but one that may not be as obvious is light. Humans are element. phototropic creatures who tend to gravitate toward well-lit spaces and are cautious about going into poorly-lit ones. Doors and stairs are used to make connections between private and public ares, but how are the same types of connections created through light? The obvious answer is windows and lamps, but that’s not always the most creative or logical answer.
SEPARATIONS
27
The Magreeb family bought a home outside San Francisco to escape from “the City’s hustle & bustle.” After a long day at work, they want to feel like they are retreating to a clean and sophisticated home. The family have no children except for their German Shepherd who stays inside during the day. They frequently host get-togethers, so a flexible and open entertaining area is important.
29 LEVEL 1 By simply changing the entrance of the home, a sizeable entry was created. The dramatic windows greet visitors with a warm, contemporary look. The open feeling of the space enables flexible options for entertaining guests in the evening and ample room for the dog to play during the day.

LEVEL 2 With careful planning, I was able to allocate space for a private bathroom for the Master Bedroom, an additional guest bathroom, ample closet space, and a mini bar area. The private bedrooms take advantage of the minimal light that comes in to create a quiet escape. EXISTING

Now more thanConditions ever, corporations are realizing the importance i 1.00 of a comfortable, engaging work environment. Productivity and employee satisfaction are often tied directly to the workplace.

For a growing number of workers, corporate culture is the key factor in their decision to join and even stay with an organization long-term. The best work environments are a reflection of a company’s identity: free-flowing floor plans, natural lighting, invigorating color palettes, ergonomic workstations and separate areas for collaboration. The process starts with a program. This is where I analyze how the client operates, their location and environment, and core values. The Financial District is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California. It is home to the city’s largest concentration of tall buildings and corporate headquarters. From 9 AM to 5 PM the streets are full of commotion but the higher you are in a building, the more serene the environment becomes. The new work environment should engage the worker with the excitement of the streets. My client occupies the 9th floor of the One Kearny building. It is a redevelopment that combines three distinct buildings, each representing different architectural eras dating back to 1900. Due to their growing success in research of office furniture systems, the company needed to expand their research and development space to accommodate their growing staff. With a desire to remain in the historic building, creating space within the existing shell of the 100+ year old building was akin to constructing a “ship in a bottle.” The success of the re-design is not to work against the building but to incorporate its meandering columns.

It was important to incorporate the historical and structural features of the space, so I wrapped the main path of travel around them. This caused the columns to form niches which I used to create designated areas. Private spaces are far from the main path of travel.

Collaboration is the New Work Model.
Why not provide a space that is more collaborative and supports the need to balance both think-time and team-time?
Activity-Based Planning Is Key to Space Design.
This line of thought addresses re-planning buildings based on what people do. When employees come in during the day, the first thing they do is check e-mail and voice-mail. After they’ve touched down, they might have a meeting. If it’s not confidential, they can have it in the open conference space. If it is confidential, they can use a private enclave.
One Size Does Not Fit All.
Some jobs are very tied to their spaces.

Less Drywall Is More.
The type of space being marketed is changing. Clients are looking for more flexibility, which translates into lower construction costs and lower tenant improvement costs. Forty percent of the space in private offices requires a lot of drywall. Going to fewer private offices can cut drywall costs by a third or even half.
The lobby of an office is arguably the most important space. It is where guest first gets an idea of the establishment. Clean, sharp, minimal lines were used to create a modern atmosphere, and reflect a balance between old and new. My inspiration came from looking at emerging trends for corporate lobbies. Exploring ideas allowed me to create a fun and welcoming space that also retains a corporate look and feel.
41 The 16 foot ceiling allowed me to design a suspended drop ceiling that slants at 30 degrees. The client’s logo was included as part of the design to create a dramatic first impression. The beauty of it all is that during the day natural light creates a backlit effect without using

Touchdown Spaces.

Today’s Workforce requires Touchdown Spaces. People are beginning to accept the idea that employees don’t have to be at their desks with their heads down to actually be productive. Today some employees are much less tied to their office space.
Say Hello to Shared Private Workstations. By applying some basic, simple knowledge about how people interact, space planning can restore that feeling of the entrepreneurial spirit without sacrificing privacy.
45
Say Goodbye to Big Private Offices. Imagine an alternative work environment in which the conference room is in the middle of the workstations. The team members are just close enough to overhear each other buzzing with project ideas in each station and in the middle space. When privacy is needed, the smaller workstations offer doors.
My design strategy was two-fold: Bring in the excitement of the busy street below without overwhelming workers, and incorporate emerging trends.
47
To simply label myself as a designer would be understating my depth as an creative person and humanitarian. I am a perfectionist, who combines enthusiasm for re-invigorating spaces with compassion and quick wit, the result bringing about amazing change. I have an infectious optimism, am calm under pressure, with bottomless energy, and fabulous style. I am another “designer from the womb,� and unashamedly confess that I live and breathe interior design.
