some of my own work!

i'll have pretty pictures of the boards i designed and the exact materials i chose for this project next week (the file's are at school), but for now how about some renderings? for a little background on the project, we had to choose a current designer provided by the teacher (i chose yabu pushelberg) and use their design principles to design a sitting room (space provided by teacher as well). from yabu pushelberg i took their contemporary sense of design, with furniture low to the ground, with dark outlines (both of which could be inspired by japanese block prints and furniture design), use of natural materials (i used reclaimed walnut, porcelain tiles, and cement flooring), sculptural walls, repetition of form, and local inspiration (which i took from the old factories in Lowell, MA). and i was allowed to determine the exterior door and window design (i forgot handles on the doors... so use your imagination there), fireplace design, and the height of the ceiling as appropriate to my concept. so after a few weeks work this is what came of it. wah-la!
