astor residencehigh-end residential

The ASTOR BUILDING RESIDENCE brings together the clients two passions, art and flowers. The wife was a florist before meeting her husband, a socialite who owned an art gallery. They combined their passions to create the art gallery “La Fioretura”, which means “The Bloom” in Italian. The clients believe that flowers and art bring happiness to people and that there is a need for them both in the city.

Their residence represents the feelings of joy, love and luxury that flowers represent. The design of the penthouse utilizes layering, lighting, softness and materials to capture the essence of flowers and the art that captures their beauty.

1

The Floor Plan was generated based on inspiration of the Fibonacci Spiral found within flowers. The spiral starts at the center, the point where the flower begins and then moves outward, growing and widening. The couple that owns this residence are where it all began, so their suite is at the center of the spiral. The plan then moves out from their master bedroom. Next comes the nursery and guest room, both would need a bit more public access. Following the spiral out leads to the servant quarters, the library, and finally the dining room, living room and gallery, the last three being the most public and open, like the more exposed petals of a flower.

2

The GALLERY, situated right off of the entrance, is a dedicated area for the couple to display their private collection. This gal-lery preserves the open feel of the public part of the penthouse through a glass wall along the corridor and display spaces that appear to float. The gallery has displays for 2D art, 3D art, and floral installations.

DINING ROOM 3

The MASTER SUITE is a private retreat for the owners of the penthouse. With deeper toned walls, these rooms feel more intimate and closed in, like inner petals. Accenting chandeliers, inspired by flowers, add a pop of glamour.

aspen grove spahealth care and residential

The aspen tree is native to Colorado and prevalent in the Berthoud area, where this spa is located. These trees have many medicinal properties such as treated nerve pain, a common problem MS patients face.

Aspen forests are not a collection of many individuals, but rather one large organism, all connected at the roots. This property creates a great resiliency in them. They are almost impossible to kill and are the first to come back after a fire. Some aspen communities rival sequoias in age.

The spa and residence inspires patrons and residents alike, invoking the feeling of being in an aspen forest during spring, when everything is being renewed and refreshed. Through lighting, materials, linear lines and color palette, the Aspen Grove Spa and Residence uses Colorado’s native aspen tree, to inspire healing of the body and mind.

RELAXATION ROOM- Light-filled through south-side placement with a calming and refreshing color palette. Frosted glass panels provide an added level of privacy.

POOL ROOM- A custom screen with aspen leaf-shaped perforations, let under the skylight, lets light filter into the pool room that simulates the dappled light in an aspen forest. Blue stain pine planks on the side bring verticality into the space while delineating the pool from the fitness room.

BEDROOM- The bedroom continues to bring in the feel of being in an aspen forest with clay pendant lamps by POTT that allow light to filter out. Wallpaper brings in a literal translation of the design’s inspiration.

LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN-The main living area of the residence is made up of the kitchen, living room and dining area. The whole residence is ADA compliant and also meets Universal Design standards. The kitchen’s appliances are high-end and Energy Star rated. The kitchen sink is height adjustable to meet needs.

burruss studio re-designeducation

An abstracted timeline that embodies the Virginia Tech interior design students as designers and represents the learning process of our time here. A linear movement overlapping figuratively and literally through the space showing a continual growth and development of our design careers. The graphic lines traveling throughout the studio space represent the three years of students that work in the Burruss studio. These interlocking timelines show the importance of collaboration and how the years build off of each other by helping and inspiring.

This was a one week group project worked on by five team members.

Renderings for this conceptual project were mixed-media, done through hand sketching lines and using Photoshop to add color and materials.

Acoustic felt hanging-partitions divide individual studios and acoustical ceiling tiles added to the ceiling both help to dampen sound to make a better working environment.

10

It is a branded interior that creates opportunities for an integrated experience. Collaborative spaces are emphasized by the concentration of the linear graphic that is carried through the space.

The design for the PATANG RESTAURANT was inspired by the celebratory nature of Indian festivals. The Indian Kite Festival, Uttarayan, particularly captures this excitement and joy. This festival is a time to signalize the end of winter, herald in spring, give thanks and have fun. The whimsical idea of colorful kits flying on a deep, blue ski inspired the ceiling installation and color scheme. These kites also gave the restaurant its name, “patang” means kite in Hindi. This restaurant celebrates the festivity, vibrancy and jubilant nature of Indian festivals through color, custom installations and an energetic atmosphere.

Unique seating shapes provide energy in the programming and different seating options. The main dining area provides multiple seating styles to fit various group sizes and cater to differing levels of intimacy. Curvilinear, perforated metal screens break up the space. These allow for more intimate seating along the west wall, add visual interest and also produce energy through the curving form.

The ceiling installation is made from Barrisol Acoustic Fabric Panels and is suspended from the ceiling to create a layered re-imagining of kites filling the sky during the festival.

Drawing on the traditional interior style of simpler and neutral backgrounds with colorful and more elaborate furnishings, dark wood and white were chosen to make the colors pop and speak to the culture’s typical design elements.

d.c. rei flagship storeretail

For the REI FLAGSHIP STORE, the concept centers around the idea of getting out into the community and utilizing the equipment, clothing and gear that REI sells within the city of Washington D.C. This store is for the citizens of D.C. who want to experience the outdoors that their city offers and experience adventure in their own environment. The D.C. flagship store ties the nature of the local community with the values of REI to create an experiential store.

The common area provides a space for learning about the area’s parks, as well as REI’s various programs. Im-ages, taken by customers of their outdoors adventures, can be displayed on screen mounted on the wooden extrusions that extend to the ground in the middle of the common area.

15

The concept ties the parks of D.C. to the store through a ceiling installation formed in the shapes of the parks. This idea came from REI’s emphasis on “getting out there” and community, as well as the fact that all the activities that REI outfits for can be done in or near by the city of Washington D.C.

These add a visual separation to the sections of the store without completely closing off the “shops”. They also provide a platform for shelves, clothing racks and other merchan-dise displays.

The wooden ceiling installation reflects the parks of D.C. Extrusions forming the shapes of the parks extend from 18 feet above the floor down to 11 feet. Extrusions starting at 18 feet and terminat-ing at 14 feet cover all areas that are not part of the parks Within the park shapes are wooden extrusions that extend the full 20 foot height of the store. These serve as a spacial separation and also a platform for merchandise.

exploration elementary schooleducation

The DESTINATION WORK SPACES were designed to enlarge the classrooms by creating a “destination” for the children to go out to work in. They are both an area for group work or individual work that allows the kids to be able to leave the classrooms and break up their time in there. The tall poles evoke the feeling of being on the bottom of the rainforest floor and are covered in acoustic felt for noise absorption. The “learning pods” allow for more private work areas to minimize distractions and are also a new, and fun way to work. The curving seating element is on the mezzanine level and adds another destination in the exploration of learning.

The EXPLORATION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a new concept for elementary education that creates the desire for learning by making it an adventure. Through “destination work places”, the “exploration play space”, and the “discovery zone”, this rainforest inspired school wing for fourth graders fosters an excitement for learning.

RETRACTABLE WALLWITH WHITEBOARD PANELS

The layout fosters an environment for learning by creating flexible classrooms in varying styles and creating “destination work spaces”. The two right hand classrooms are divided by a retractable wall comprised of white-board panels. This allows for the potential of two classrooms or one larger one. It also creates a place for teachers or children to write. The Discovery Lab is a room designed for making a mess, whether that is through science experiments, art or plain fun. The mezzanine level evokes the sense of being in the rainforest canopy by being more open and having lighter colors.

The EXPLORATION PLAY SPACE allows for many types of play ranging from active games to art.

aina restaurantcommercial

The restaurant is placed with the front window wall facing south for optimal sunlight throughout the day, and Smart LED Solatubes take advantage of the sunlight as much as possible farther from the windows.

This restaurant is situated on the ocean coast in the city of Kailua Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. The Aina Restaurant is an establishment that speaks to native Hawaiian art, preserving history and culture, by capturing the visually dynamic and textural elements of traditional art on the islands. Hawaiian art is about preserving culture and joining in community, the feel of materials, and movement. Traditional art forms also focus on the natural world and are closely tied to the land. The Aina Restaurant strives to adhere to the island idea of ahupua’a , which emphasizes the importance of being stewards of the islands and protecting the balance of its resources.

19

This GRAPHIC WALL at the entrance represents the Hawaiian culture through overlapping tradition quilt patterns.

Koa wood slats undulate to create a visually dynamic bar, reminiscent of Polynesian art through movement. The curve of the bar brings guests together for a familial experience. The floor plan was based off of hula moves that represent “tree”, “house”, and “flower”.
