Upon completion of the Bernice Bienenstock Design Competition their comes much relief mixed with an awaiting anticipation of the outcome. Trying to fit all the required information, along with the desire to showcase the best possible perspectives and elevations, was quite challenging. This entire process has proved informational as well as rewarding. It is quite a revelation of what one can produce when not only under pressure, but given a challenging task in the realm of talent they possess. I have not attached all five slides, as I would like to keep a little guess into what the final project looks like, but here is the first of the five!
 
 
 

 
 
 
Along with presenting two rendered perspectives, design competition rules require two elevations as well. One from the spa side and one from the residential area. These elevations were done completely in Photoshop. In order to get the scale correct a light outline was imported first from AutoCAD.

Along with choosing the furnishings for the Master Bedroom, Spotted Spaniel has been busy picking out furnishings for the Guest Bedroom as well. The colors coincide with the vibe and feel of the rest of Natalie Ethridge's Key West Escape. The following slide shows the  FF&E for this cheery Key West Guest Bedroom.
 
 

Natalie Ethridge has requested custom closets in her Key West Escape. Below are floor plans and elevations of those closets along with color renderings. The FF&E for the Master Bedroom has also been included. The walls of the bedroom are tongue and groove in a natural gray wash, with on off-white deep plush carpet. These elements accentuate the furnishings and color scheme chosen for this comforting space.
 
 



The Malama Med Spa project is moving right along. The past couple of weeks have been spent working on the floor plan. This is a 4200 square foot project. It has been no small task. The basic exterior was provided and after being pulled into AutoCad, the space planning began. There were some specifics provided, such as an entry and book keepers office that would not exceed 400 sq. ft., but then there were more ambiguous instructions, leaving it up to the designers to figure out what the Helf's might desire in the most creative ways they could.

The residence, being around 1000 sq. ft. had to fit into this plan while keeping in mind that all sleeping areas must include a window. This provided to be quite challenging, because most wanted to put this space where another exterior door was already provided. In the Spotted Spaniel's plan the residence ended up towards the back, or the southern side of the floor plan. Given this spot, it provided plenty of windows and light, which were also met to an extent on the spa side in the rest area, front lobby and the exercise area.

Skylights were also given to the rest area, as well as the pool. There were several special features that were attended to, such as a circular skylight above the dining and kitchen area that is surrounded by greenery. In addition to the skylights were feature walls in the master bath, pool area and corridor of the day spa. These walls included items such as juniper wood, rocks, bamboo and greenery.

Once space planning was successfully accomplished the files were imported into Photoshop where the color rendering took place. This gives the plans a completed and distinguished look. There is a smooth blend of materials and colors extending from the day spa to the residence. The Helf's desire to have a natural and holistic atmosphere has been well met!
