For the fall term of 2015 we will be working on a semester long project, which will also be entered into the Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library Interior Design Competition. This project is to test our skills in interior design. The judges of the competition will be looking to see if we have met the minimum requirements of the project as well as our creative abilities.
The space we are planning for sits at the base of a mountain and is surrounded by wild life and water features in a park like setting. It is owned by Chris and Pat Helf who are a husband and wife seeking to convert their 4600 square foot building into a 1000 square foot residence with the remaining space acting as holistic day spa. Both Chris and Pat who are not only married, but also a doctor and physical therapist have a passion for multiple sclerosis patients. They would like their spa to provide an escape for people who are looking for a natural and healing environment. They are conscious of the body as well as the earth and would like to incorporate as many sustainable and environmentally friendly products in the design as possible.
The project not only requires a name and logo, but also five digital pages that will be submitted electronically. The pages will include a concept statement, space plans with FF&E for the day spa and the residential space, interior renderings (hand or computer), materials/color boards for both the day spa and residence and lighting/electrical/switching plans for the lobby, receptionist station and bookkeeper's office. Although this seems like a lot of work and will be very trying at times, I'm sure, it will also be a wonderful learning experience and a chance to win a little cash!
