Project #7, Part 3: Interiors

Objective

The client would like you to use color and tecture to help define spaces/uses. In selecting colors, think about how the space is being used and the atmosphere you wish to create. You should also develop simple 3-d models of furnishings. These may be left white, but time allowing, can receive color treatment as well.

Interior

All furniture was built from museum board, colored with markers and color pencil. For specific details, plexiglas was used.

Living / Sleeping Area:

• The living area remains connected as one large space, reinforced by a common wall color. Because this hous is designed for a painter, I left the walls white. Also, the large windows will cause different coloration throughout the day through natural light.
• The plant partially conceals the entrance into the private area.
• As seen in the photo on the left, the low wall on the bed alcove blocks it from views from the living area.
• The tall closet in the bedroom is replaced with a lower dresser. The tall closet interrupted the notion of both rooms as one large space.
• The floors in the public area remain hardwood, the private area uses carpet.
• A coat hanger separates the entrance from the main area, creating a transition space.

Bathroom:

• The shower stall is constructed from plexi glass
• A tall mirror was added.

Kitchen:

• The kitchen counter was redesigned. The ugly wooden counter and the tall refridgerator were replaced by en integrated counter made from black granite.
• The counter provides partial separation of the kitchen area while leaving the spaces connected.

Exterior

• I chose 4 different colors for the building exterior:
  - The roof is dark grey / anthrazite
  - The South and West walls of the main living area are siena.
  - The North and East walls of the main living area are grey.
  - The bathroom and the entrance are white.
• The warm colors are facing South and West, representing the warm color of the sun.
• The cool gray is mostly facing North.
• The exterior color palette supports the definition of space.

Southeast corner (click to enlarge)

• Visitors approach the house from Southeast.
• The structure presents itself as a collection of shapes defined by different ceiling heights and exterior colors.

• The entrance is highlighted by a white wall segment.
