21. For this project our group built a
model at a scale of ¼”=1’-0”
Rob and Rachele have a site that
surrounds the trout pond in the
park. They want a design that
makes the best use of the site and
has minimal impact on the
environment. They want an open
floor plan, fireplace, parking, and
a garden where Rachele and Rob
both enjoy to garden in the
summer.

24. The Common’s Project
The Common’s Project was a project to redesign the current
common’s area at Lakeland College to a space where more
students will want to come down and use it. We created a
space that is more technologically advanced and more
welcoming to the students. The model was made using
google sketch-up which shows the different vies of the
space.

26. Retail Project - Perspective
For my retail store I designed a women’s summer clothing store called Summer Solstice.
My inspiration for the project came from the season summer. I portrayed elements of the
season with the color blue, the sky ceiling, the waved wall, and the light brown floors
resembling sand. It all comes together to create a relaxing atmosphere.
