Term 6 Final Project: Historic Building Adaptive Reuse

<div style="text-align: center;">I cannot believe that I am already done 6 out of 12 terms! Time is flying. A year and a half ago I began my interior design journey and now I'm half way to having my Bachelor of Interior Design Degree. This term, our big project was converting a four story historic building into a modern use space. This was our first group studio, and it was a great experience working with 2 other students (and friends) Kelsey and Aram, to complete the final project! We chose to turn ours into a nutrition facility which includes a healthy eating restaurant, fitness studio, cooking classes and nutrition consultation offices. It was a huge amount of work, but we did it! Here are our final presentation boards:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_xwYS26SixRN8zx5SyZK2mO0_q3zxyQ3pHyedMrmUg1udWelC2br1Sn-Wm44lPKKbAOl9iktrALtKQx8Cs_AsZJ5Zp1NJmSZG7DW54uSu6VE5cL2rEszmE5Xh7i1mPeUMzghvMhChqA/s1600/DIDE202FINALPRESENTATION_KN_TP_AV-page-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Evolution of a Drawing: Modern Industrial Reception Area

<div style="text-align: center;">It's been a little while since I shared my drawings with you guys, so I thought today I would show you the process of drawing this:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_ljG_Cx9wBO3NP9HV0xc1YCwsfiFW8jCC2bJHtgJwJ33Ubbau99B0veGXlf5rlhF6CMlEF1P0d_xubiIL56qM7DiJd9DaNoVAtOrrpbefUHGbUXGQjMuEB93a68PYbvDfecIWi9nezw/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_ljG_Cx9wBO3NP9HV0xc1YCwsfiFW8jCC2bJHtgJwJ33Ubbau99B0veGXlf5rlhF6CMlEF1P0d_xubiIL56qM7DiJd9DaNoVAtOrrpbefUHGbUXGQjMuEB93a68PYbvDfecIWi9nezw/s1600/007.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>The first step is always the pencil drawing, in which you set your vanishing point, horizon line, and objects.

Currently Learning: Sketch-Up

<div style="text-align: center;">This term we are finally learning to use Google Sketch-Up! I am so in love, even though I'm just a newbie. I would describe it as Sims for adults. Let's be real - even as a child all I ever did on Sims was build and decorate the houses. Anyone else? Basically this has been consuming all of my time this week so I thought I would share my progress with you guys. This term my studio project is retail design, and I'm designing a clothing retail shop including designing all of the branding. I called my line 'Mint' and am bringing it together in 3D!

Making the Case

Designing the Stangest Condo Ever

<div style="text-align: center;">For my Design Studio class this term, we have been working on a condo with one of the strangest layouts imaginable...I guess they didn't want to make it easy on us!<br />Just look at the sectional elevations and how weirdly each level stacks up on top of one another:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjXGXFDbXlBeqGcn_p4SSZ4HrVbGD9NfYNClM9UB3DxvwfBwQJnoKwe0RcbAlXDawX2hIRas1aW9QLnzNPVfqFcaBf1upcpuuId7kL9HMQ0N5ZJKRe_rxfLx7uDf9ffWKEDcfhyphenhyphen2XDQsqQ/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjXGXFDbXlBeqGcn_p4SSZ4HrVbGD9NfYNClM9UB3DxvwfBwQJnoKwe0RcbAlXDawX2hIRas1aW9QLnzNPVfqFcaBf1upcpuuId7kL9HMQ0N5ZJKRe_rxfLx7uDf9ffWKEDcfhyphenhyphen2XDQsqQ/s640/017.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Not to mention the super high ceilings on the third floor. Usually, I'm all about high ceilings, but a 30 foot ceiling in a small washroom is a bit of a strange set up...think 'beam me up' type of vibe. It's something I'm going to have to find a creative solution for, but I've got an idea up my sleeve!<br /><br />The stairs were also a bit of a nightmare. Any time I tried to put the stairs anywhere, a big cement post would get in the way on another level, or the landing wouldn't reach high enough and there would be a floating door, etc. I had a couple of late night sorting those out but I actually love where they ended up, so it was worth it. Here are some quick shots of the floor plans penciled in:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotAA3eMCMSMWlEL-j78tEf22NINlJLBM4N9qtimNTmg7-pCOIaQjHqgUG_qArpeeOBrGVATnH3OAm7MaWjtkJsrhwbJUxPCRBonSrZICiDPfv6LwzAXY0C9X52MP-RoB_Fmr78SDZA989/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotAA3eMCMSMWlEL-j78tEf22NINlJLBM4N9qtimNTmg7-pCOIaQjHqgUG_qArpeeOBrGVATnH3OAm7MaWjtkJsrhwbJUxPCRBonSrZICiDPfv6LwzAXY0C9X52MP-RoB_Fmr78SDZA989/s640/023.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRuLJxKNvvt5jKPghPIwTu5H-FY9cvShVtn1Hh1lenKZ1AeZy-O96D-x7BfJIQ4DtA76OHB7Z5T7Z8vGClL4F7Oe7UNpceHUMnsVCNAQdYkUAgl7WqAQOn-8P4dK96FRIIHHO3EJ-kc9Mk/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRuLJxKNvvt5jKPghPIwTu5H-FY9cvShVtn1Hh1lenKZ1AeZy-O96D-x7BfJIQ4DtA76OHB7Z5T7Z8vGClL4F7Oe7UNpceHUMnsVCNAQdYkUAgl7WqAQOn-8P4dK96FRIIHHO3EJ-kc9Mk/s640/024.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJSU1nm2_mV0yiURpyc7n3bu_wCrzdb2wnvDK0uigd8Q6T5aBoeP3AQiMEcu4Ov6F_l3nQEzSnOHYnUsxk50x7WU6IJ5JgQLCDQua-Zv7KI6mm8z62zWwXf7__vcGwARLEvo1oQ05y3TKn/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJSU1nm2_mV0yiURpyc7n3bu_wCrzdb2wnvDK0uigd8Q6T5aBoeP3AQiMEcu4Ov6F_l3nQEzSnOHYnUsxk50x7WU6IJ5JgQLCDQua-Zv7KI6mm8z62zWwXf7__vcGwARLEvo1oQ05y3TKn/s640/025.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>I'll share the aesthetic direction of the condo soon, it's pretty exciting.

New Term

<div style="text-align: center;">This week I started my second term of design school.<br />Tuesday and Wednesdays are long days, with 8 hours of straight class. Luckily, time flies when you're having fun! Here are the classes that I'm taking:<br /><br /><b>1. Visual Communications</b><br />I'm so excited to learn the proper drawing techniques with my Prismacolor markers, pencil crayons and pastels! This will include material rendering, such as drawing hardwood, marble, glass, metal, etc.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimlCQCyrTRqQnVXJRDrgakeMgsa28i3_WaWEcwTIJDupq7SGWPW95IHvN8dEmsCja4Fwu25oJO6Jeo0LdPdTH2LzuQLLC805jRCtQlkJJUT2KzG-lS2LhfCGrRlHuTtvOx0PD0OxKvRcPl/s1600/605.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimlCQCyrTRqQnVXJRDrgakeMgsa28i3_WaWEcwTIJDupq7SGWPW95IHvN8dEmsCja4Fwu25oJO6Jeo0LdPdTH2LzuQLLC805jRCtQlkJJUT2KzG-lS2LhfCGrRlHuTtvOx0PD0OxKvRcPl/s640/605.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>This course will also teach us how to do perspective drawings, which I'm very excited about.

My Forty Hour Project

<div style="text-align: center;">Well my loves, did you miss me? I'm still in finals but I just finished the biggest assignment of the term, so I'm hoping the rest will be quicker and easier. I'm so excited to share this project with all of your today!<br /><br />We were asked to design a loft. We were given the basic dimensions and a couple specifics, but we got to invent out client and decide if we wanted a mezzanine or not, where to put it, where to put washrooms, kitchen, living room, etc. Not only did we have to do a floor plan and two sectional elevations, we were also required to create a sample board and make a to scale 3D model of the space! Let me walk you through it:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNNieMlAR5S2hTsk6svjkXNAgI0M-8ZTxrb9Hpq0rEgfrXqDhCfKSbBsPfSqWDD50U05Ak0yuMW0BNwDGoMsI6I6kvK4sceRYCtuZ2dnzay1kCqdafUn-pSPnxOCyRB4PUZnJshCUfOejL/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNNieMlAR5S2hTsk6svjkXNAgI0M-8ZTxrb9Hpq0rEgfrXqDhCfKSbBsPfSqWDD50U05Ak0yuMW0BNwDGoMsI6I6kvK4sceRYCtuZ2dnzay1kCqdafUn-pSPnxOCyRB4PUZnJshCUfOejL/s640/022.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisX5xu7qqHyrByvjmENy1EikVL2cxs1ws-8nPvYfyyMzu70zNrccSbP9weEP3RjgpdNUxfPwvOCyDyRneQ_N7FGQlS9B4zi3RlYQaOurndVKY3Y6m9z-46KfdQ4SxWxJX73baHsXfDh7Md/s640/023.JPG" width="640" /></div>Here you can see my hand drawings of the views of the lower and upper levels of the loft. The main living area (tv area, lounge and kitchen) are all open concept with double height ceilings. You can see that the foyer, office and powder room are located underneath the mezzanine. The mezzanine level contains the bedroom and 3 piece bath. From the bedroom you can look over into the rest of the living space. The wall on the right is a full window wall with a door out to the balcony.<br />Also, you can see that I stacked the washrooms and kept them horizontal to the kitchen. This is the most efficient plan for plumbing.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2WQ4I3_2GTovsHNXYnhX7ADvMiAplTPJyDAgMakfCeUkCIJ06SSoPx69vJ4pR3mdfWkp2F5jOy38PJGaw3XC6zzp2eAImQb8QWIna-zpDtl_zDylbJqT6Liv23QiAxA66n7_4UNehQtT/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2WQ4I3_2GTovsHNXYnhX7ADvMiAplTPJyDAgMakfCeUkCIJ06SSoPx69vJ4pR3mdfWkp2F5jOy38PJGaw3XC6zzp2eAImQb8QWIna-zpDtl_zDylbJqT6Liv23QiAxA66n7_4UNehQtT/s640/024.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Here is a sectional elevation giving you a better idea of the space. I located the television under the stairs to keep it somewhat out of sight and also to protect it from the glare of the massive window wall.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2D_5CPk7rIQkw3qkyXQiVFARkj3yRZr_VDNehs_zbCCDvFpbGS0F3n0kYyFMDa7TxKEyOuAIwxmflnVKJnSJ6_cbQbUFUy2jNB0T9MvoHxsDYfzlb5hABXTgUM77xX-ewgqhoknRH9jrs/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2D_5CPk7rIQkw3qkyXQiVFARkj3yRZr_VDNehs_zbCCDvFpbGS0F3n0kYyFMDa7TxKEyOuAIwxmflnVKJnSJ6_cbQbUFUy2jNB0T9MvoHxsDYfzlb5hABXTgUM77xX-ewgqhoknRH9jrs/s640/025.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>This is my favourite elevation that I've done so far. This wall of the loft has the original exposed brick. A large sliding glass door leads into the office.<br /><br />Now a bit about my client and inspiration. My client is a young, single man in his early 30s who has a successful career in advertising. He is a guy's guy, who loves having the his friends over to watch the game and play poker. While he loves and fully embraces the downtown sophistocated lifestyle, he also loves the outdoors. I wanted to bring these contrasting but equally traditionally masculine aesthetics together in the space. Thus, menswear became my inspiration:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUECXx-_qydB8quzBwczfEkwyy2BB_yWiv3i4mgk5KN3YFRUjdasajfQW8wMP7JZLvkmvcmjuIoO33mfsUSiQtg8r9pmrzP4VMGb8i5L07iwnhp649IhRXMcBqSw0P621Qv18GvWRyvmMJ/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUECXx-_qydB8quzBwczfEkwyy2BB_yWiv3i4mgk5KN3YFRUjdasajfQW8wMP7JZLvkmvcmjuIoO33mfsUSiQtg8r9pmrzP4VMGb8i5L07iwnhp649IhRXMcBqSw0P621Qv18GvWRyvmMJ/s640/020.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Specifically these dueling looks of Ryan Gosling...
