Project Description

The pygmy people will be granted

the freedom of carrying on daily life according to their

cultural customs, however the newly designed homes

will help transition them into the modern world.

Because the average pygmy stands

no taller than 5’-0’’, furniture and ceiling

heights will need to be considered.

Where are the Pygmy people?

The Pygmy people live in Gabon, Africa. Pygmies are

semi-nomadic, and traditionally live in huts made of

mud, leaves and branches, called Mongulu.

To sustain their way of life the Pygmy people hunt

and gather their food, traveling from location to

location.

allows for simple furniture and

Perspective Views

concept floor- plan.

Platform Construction

Yurt Construction & Model

A wood burning stove was also included to

allow for cooking and heating during colder

seasons.

Custom Door Design

Antelope are one of the most common animals found

within the fields of Africa. In order to keep the tradition of

an ornamental door front to a Yurt, an antelope’s head was

used as inspiration to design the door frame and door

itself.

Project Description

The project requires to design a Nipponese Fashion

house for a retired Sumo (Akebono Taro). The fashion

house will reflect traditional Japanese motifs and

designs and also incorporate a contemporary feel.

The use of bariatric furniture as well as solutions for

the client’s needs will be addressed throughout the

space.

Tatami mat

These mats work well in the unique climate of

Japan, which can be hot, cold, and dry. Tatami

mats also help regulate interior humidity. They

work well with traditional Japanese lifestyles,

which include being barefoot in the home and

sitting and sleeping on the floor.

The rendered floor plan shows the

designed layout of the tatami mat pattern,

and how they will be arranged throughout

the fashion house.

This is a complete floor plan, depicting

the specified furniture. The tatami mats

will be the main flooring throughout the

establishment.

Typical Japanese Construction

A fusuma is made by a wooden frame. This

frame is covered with paper in the front and

back. Then, it is covered with a piece of

decorative paper or a cloth combined with

paper. Finally, the fusuma is finished by

placing another wooden frame around the

perimeter of the door.

either side.

Project Description

The Alcatraz Prison will be remodeled into a

hotel for tourists visiting the island. It is a three

level structure, made up of remodeled cell

Prototypical Hotel rooms

The hotel will provide different types of rooms, based on guests’ needs.

Rooms and suites will take family and group visits into consideration. ADA

measures will also be addressed with ADA rooms on the first level.

Thematic Meeting Rooms

On the Top

The Air Depot is a conference room.

The U.S Air Force inspired the idea for

this room. Shades of blue and white

will help anchor this theme.

On the left

The Fallen Hero is a banquet room.

The inspiration for the theme came

from the idea of honoring the people

who have fought for the country. A

focal point in the room will be the

Nero marble wall with soldiers’

names inscribed.

Thematic Meeting Rooms

On the bottom

The Boot Camp is the meeting

room based on a military theme.

Lilly paint and Moss carpet are

some of the finishes that will help

represent the Army.

On the right

The Warden was the theme for the

classroom cause in prison the

Warden was the most important

person.

Movie Theater

The 78 seats in this theater will be used for nightly

entertainment as well as for watching films. Every two rows

in the theater have been elevated higher than the one

before it, in order to give each guest a clear view of the

stage and screen.

Dance Floor

The dance floor is made up of three layers.

The bottom layer is padding, then a veneer

layer is placed on top of that, and finally, the

surface is made of a vinyl. The floor is about

180 SF which will allow about 30 people to

dance at one time.

Cowboy Bar

The bar is sociable because the overall space

provides a variety of different seating

arrangements. Giving the bar an open floor

plan will allow guests to enjoy the company of

others. With separated private areas,

customers can also enjoy a more intimate

atmosphere rather than being in the open part

of the bar.

Goal

To design the three level Royal All Star Academy

Child Development Center using shipping

containers. The facility will service infants through

school age children on the first and second level.

The third level will include residence housing for

facility and staff members.

Objective:

C (Convenient)

• The way-finding pattern to guide younger children to their classroom

A (Accurate)

• Community Play Things for furniture procurement

R (Responsible)

• Technology security system throughout the facility

E (Educational)

• The class rooms will follow a neutral color scheme

Inspiration and Sports Themes

The name of the Child Care Center “Royal All Stars Academy” provides the foundation for the interior design because all public spaces will be developed around a sports theme. The floor of the reception area will represent a “pitch” or soccer field using green linoleum. Each hallway will depict a different sport which will relate the specific age group and way-finding. The hallway to the infant rooms will represent a hockey rink; the hallway to the young toddler rooms will be designed as a baseball field; the hallway to the odder toddler rooms will create a football field; the hallway to the pre-school rooms will represent a basketball court.

Sick Bay

The children will spend some time at the sick bay,

which is intended to be comfortable as well as

stimulating. The room will have a boxing theme

with beds that resemble small boxing rings.

Way Finding

Each hallway will depict a different sport which will relate

the specific age group and way-finding. The hallway to the

infant rooms will represent a basketball court; the hallway

to the young toddler rooms will be designed as a baseball

field; the hallway to the odder toddler rooms will create a

football field; the hallway to the pre-school rooms will

represent a hockey rink.

Reflected Ceiling Plan

An interesting element is the infusions accent canopies, which

are repeated in all of the hallways. There will be different

colored canopies used in different hallways, which will act as

another way finding tool.
