This document summarizes the work experience of Foster Lomas, including drawing plans for a house to the clients' specifications. Key aspects included drawing to scale, modeling in SketchUp, and taking measurements on site to ensure accurate representation. Plans evolved from basic layouts to a scaled ground floor plan showing room dimensions and features. Measuring real items helped estimate space needed. The process helped develop skills in drawing to scale, 3D modeling, and capturing client requirements.
This document summarizes the redesign of a 1932 kitchen. Key points include:
- The original cabinets were failing so an update was needed within the design restrictions of a purchased granite slab and existing tile floor.
- Custom cabinets were built at a non-standard depth of 22 inches to fit within the layout and budget of $25,000. Traditional and contemporary elements were combined.
- A farmhouse sink, polished chrome fixtures, and tile backsplash incorporating the floor tiles were selected to tie the design together on budget. Updates were made throughout the kitchen and cooking corner.
This document summarizes several interior design projects by Andreina Anselmi. It describes renovating a kitchen by eliminating a wall to integrate spaces, and adding a central island. It also describes designing a kitchen with a central island and tall wall units, and a small kitchen concentrating appliances on two walls. Further, it outlines furnishing a penthouse living area with contrasting colored furniture to define spaces, and designing a minimalist home with warmth added through furnishings.
This document provides details of a large home design project created in AutoCAD 2010 by Jon Cody. The 7,518 square foot home features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a 3 car garage. The designer notes areas for improvement including redesigning the second floor layout and roof, adding materials, and fixing removed items. Skills learned from the project include roof planning, kitchen planning, and dimensional requirements for furnishings.
The clients wanted an elegant yet comfortable master bath that retained the 1920s home's style. The designers opted for elegant materials but added a charming window seat where the tub had been. They vaulted ceilings, added a spacious shower, and redid the vanities and closet space. The redesign allowed the clients to have separate vanities, a large couple's shower, and an elegant yet warm setting that met all their wishes.
The document summarizes renovations made to a modern home for an architectural firm owner and their family. Key changes included updating the exterior colors and landscaping to emphasize the home's design lines. Inside, the kitchen was opened up and areas were decorated to reflect the owners' artistic tastes, while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic throughout. An outdoor pool and entertaining space were also added.
The Ovenly Inferno public art piece has experienced vandalism and weathering issues like cracking with an unfinished plaster coating, while the Three Scoops Three Flavors Benches have a broken plexiglas window, worn concrete spray, and minor damage but both projects are still in use with plans to renovate and repair them which have been student approved.
The document describes the Young kitchen collection from Varena, highlighting its versatility and ability to accommodate a variety of design approaches from linear to original compositions. It emphasizes Young's simple, essential and contemporary design philosophy and its extremely versatile compositional approach. Key elements that characterize Young include its slim horizontal surfaces and minimal thickness. A variety of finishes and textures are presented to allow customization.

The document summarizes the process of basemapping an indoor space to design a permaculture home. Through observing the movement of light throughout the day and identifying areas that receive direct, indirect, or no light, the author mapped out the best locations for potted plants in their kitchen, living room, and bedroom. They discovered potential for vertical and wall planting and are interested in creating a vermicomposting box. The main challenges are limited space and resources within an apartment, but the author is inspired to get creative and incorporate their home into their agricultural system.
How to design an open-plan home to maximise space Mohit Bansal Chandigarh.pdfMohit Bansal Chandigarh
Open plan home is one the common designs or architects nowadays and it is for sure that how will have a lot of gun designing it. Here are some tips on which you can maximise your space in open plan design.
The document summarizes key considerations for remodeling a kitchen based on a presentation by Wendy Albee and the Master Builders Association. It discusses making the kitchen the heart of the home, starting with a blank slate and priority list, taking a test ride in the remodeled space, focusing on one focal point, considering elements above and below, maximizing work surfaces, adding lighting, and personalizing the space. Case studies show before and after examples highlighting these points.
The document provides details on several design projects for both residential and commercial clients, including floor plans, selections, and renderings. It includes a kitchen and bath remodel for a couple wanting a French country style, a high-end Polynesian restaurant in Manhattan, a radio station interior, and several universal design home projects.
The document discusses how to design a kitchen remodel around how the space will be used. It recommends starting with a blank slate and priority list, then focusing on one focal point. Key aspects to consider include creating different zones for tasks, maximizing counter and storage space, adding ample lighting both natural and artificial, and personalizing the space. Examples are given of before and after remodels that opened up small spaces, added islands for gathering or tasks, customized storage and fixtures, and brought in more light. The overall message is to dream about how the family lives in the kitchen and design it accordingly.
Small, low-cost updates can significantly increase the appeal and sale price of a home. Focusing on curb appeal through landscaping and painting the front door can invite buyers inside. Updating the kitchen by replacing cabinets, fixing the flooring, and upgrading appliances if possible is especially valuable since many buyers prioritize the kitchen. Even small, outdated areas inside can be improved through coordinated paint colors, sleek furniture, and freshening up the fireplace with new tiles, paint, or wall art. Minor renovations throughout a home can create a major positive impression on potential buyers.
The team worked to find replacement tiles for a kitchen remodel that matched the rare Turkish Travertine tile in the home. After identifying the original mine and vendor, they found the tiles were no longer available. Through perseverance, they located remaining tiles from the same mine in Turkey that were shipped and finally installed, beautifully completing the remodel.

5. I DECIDED TO GIVE THE BUILDING A NATURAL SHAPE
BECAUSE THE CLIENTS LOVE NATURE.
I CHOSE TO USE PEBBLES SO THAT THE ADDITION OF A SECOND FLOOR
WOULD GIVE THE LOOK OF STACKED PEBBLES.
DAVID ALSO WANTED THE UPPER LEVEL TO BE

7. LEARNING TO WORK TO SCALE
IN THE PRECEDING PLANS, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE WHAT SIZE TO MAKE EACH ROOM AS
I HAD NO PERCEPTION OF SCALE.
I WAS FIRST SHOWN DIFFERENT SCALES IN ORDER FOR ME TO COMPARE ONE WITH ANOTHER.
THEN I WAS GIVEN AN EXERCISE TO MEASURE A TABLE AND DRAW ITS PLAN AND ELEVATIONS
TO SCALE SO THAT I COULD PRACTICE WHAT I HAD LEARNED.
THIS WORKED PERFECTLY!!
8. AFTER DRAWING THE PLAN AND ELEVATIONS OF THE TABLE, I WAS
THEN TAUGHT HOW TO MAKE IT 3-DIMENSIONAL USING SKETCH-UP.
I DID THIS BY CREATING EACH COMPONENT OF
THE TABLE TO SCALE, THEN ASSEMBLING THEM.
ISOMETRIC VIEW
PLANFRONTEND
9. I DECIDED TO HAVE ANOTHER GO AT DRAWING
THE PLAN; THIS TIME TO SCALE. I STARTED WITH A SMALL ROOM WHICH WAS THE BATHROOM, TAKING
MEASUREMENTS FROM THE ITEMS IN MY HOME, AND APPLYING THE
DIMENSIONS TO MY PLAN.
MEASURING THE ITEMS FIRST HELPED ME ES-
TIMATE HOW MUCH SPACE I NEEDED.
I TRIED DIFFERENT LAYOUTS
TO DETERMINE WHICH BEST
UTILISES THE SPACE.
*CHARLOTTE REQUESTED A STEP-IN BATH AND I
WASN’T SURE IF SHE MEANT FOR THE BATH TO BE
BELOW GROUND LEVEL OR NOT, SO I SKETCHED
THE IDEA JUST INCASE.

13. I WAS GIVEN A PLAN OF THE HOUSE WHICH I USED
AS A REFERENCE WHEN TAKING MEASUREMENTS
OF SIGNIFICANT DETAILS SUCH AS THE VARYING
HEIGHTS OF THE FENCE ROUND THE HOUSE, WHICH
I WOULD LATER MODEL TO SCALE IN SKETCH-UP
A DIFFERENT CLIENT WANTED TO EXTEND THEIR
HOUSE SO WE WENT TO THE SITE AND I WAS TAUGHT
HOW TO USE A LASER TAPE TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS.
WE ALSO TOOK PICTURES ROUND THE SITE
TO ENSURE THAT WHEN WE MODELLED
THE BUILDING, IT WOULD BE AS SIMILAR
AS POSSIBLE TO REALITY.
