These are a few of my projects as an Interior Design major, as well as some of my own personal artwork.

1. PORTFOLIO
CALLAN GAINES

2. U N C O N V E N T I O N A L C A B I N I N T H E W O O D S
This cabin was the
very first building I
designed. I completed
the project at the end
of my first semester as
an interior design
student.
We were given no real
limitations except it
needed to be an
“unconventional”
living space with no
more than 600 square
feet. I designed mine
with a painting studio
on the lofted second
floor with several
windows because I
really enjoy painting.

3. D R E A M S C A P E S P A C E
For this project, we were assigned
to design a Dreamscape Space to
be used for whatever activity we
enjoy most. My favorite activity is
painting, so I designed a mobile
painting studio.
The natural organic forms in the
door and back wall provide an
anomaly from the strong geometric
structure.

4. D R E A M S C A P E S P A C E
This was my model for this
project, built to scale.
The final presentation board for
my Dreamscape Space ended up
getting in the 26th Annual Juried
Undergraduate Art Exhibit at
Winthrop.

5. J O Y F I N A N C I A L P L A N N I N G
For this assignment,
we designed the
company logo,
branding identity, and
interior of a financial
planning office.
It was 25’ x 40’ and
had to include an
executive office, two
junior executive
offices, a lobby area, a
conference room, and a
place for storage and a
copy machine.
My goal was to make
clients feel relaxed and
comfortable when
talking about their
finances.

7. N A R R A T I V E C R E A T I O N S R E T A I L S T O R E
For this assignment,
we designed the
company logo,
branding identity, and
interior “rollout”
design of a high-end
graphic T-shirt store. I
named it Narrative
Creations based on the
idea that our clothing
can be narrative itself.
I chose an urban and
mysterious branding
identity to draw
customers in and
create optimal intrigue.

8. N A R R A T I V E C R E A T I O N S R E T A I L S T O R E
The design
represents a
symbolic narrative
through space, with
cosmic influences
throughout and
very intriguing
floor and ceiling
features.

9. N A R R A T I V E C R E A T I O N S R E T A I L S T O R E
Because this project was a
“rollout” design, I came up with
specific standards and
conceptual key plans for various
different layouts of my design
concept.
For example, there had to be an
odd number of inset wall panels,
and each merchandise display
needed to be a combination of
four to five panels out of seven
material choices.

10. N A R R A T I V E C R E A T I O N S R E T A I L S T O R E
After doing everything for this project by hand, I learned how to utilize Sketch Up and Photoshop to create a digital presentation of it.

11. A S P E N : A G E N T L E M E N ’ S S P A
For this assignment, we
designed the company
logo, branding identity,
and interior of a
gentlemen’s spa which
was located in an existing
building in downtown
Charlotte, NC.
I began envisioning a
unique and relaxing Mid-
Century Modern
atmosphere that would
create nostalgia while still
remaining hip. The spa
was not meant to feel like
a spa, but more like a
socializing environment
for men to hang out.

SHAMPOO STATION ELEVATION

MANI/PEDI STATION ORTHOGRAPHIC
In the project outline, we were required to include a bar, six hair styling
stations, two shampoo stations, three manicure/pedicure stations, three single
massage/facial rooms, two double massage/facial rooms, a restroom,
storage, and a back-of-house section. These are a few of the technical
drawings of the space.

14. A S P E N : A G E N T L E M E N ’ S S P A
This was my final presentation board for this project.
It actually consists of layers of multiple boards that
are attached in the back. My goal was to create
optimal intrigue and emanate the concept of my Mid-
Century design.
