final project 2012

for my final project i am contemplating to collaborate with my brother whom is an architect, the project in mind is a theatre that he designed and needs the interior to be developed to a high standard. my key inspiration for the level of detail is from candy and candy as this is the area in which I would love to pursue in. this is only the starting point of my thoughts on my final project. more to follow.

candy and candy

at last a book from candy and candy. this is a must have. the bible of interior design. "The art of Design" show casing the majority of their designs from residential to yachts.

vray trial

as seen bellow are some visual i done from the previous project using vray. due to the large extent of the model i could only use a selected mount of lights as this takes a while to process.

whilst studying i have taken both kerkthea and vray under my belt to learn, at the moment i am finding new ways in pushing kerkythea to vray standards which I'm very happy with. by doing so i include the use of bit maps on selected materials to give the render more depth and a realistic appearance.

the forth hotel, pink-lane, newcastle

latest project. re design the forth pub in newcastle. we all had a site meeting on 21/01/12 to discuss what he client wanted and didn't want. after thee client answered a range of question i was able to go away and start my design and research development. the style i thought that would work the best for this location was a vintage. linking in with the railway station as this hasn't been done in newcastle as of yet. below are some sample pictures of my work.

boutique male restroom- work experience

above are images and designs that i created whilst on work experience at george bonds - BPID. the concept was to redesign a hotel into a boutique hotel requested by the client. these images of the male restroom are what i perceived to be boutique.

section of the island unit constructed

bespoke furniture - island unit

our second project of the year involved us in creating a piece of bespoke furniture. i decide to do a kitchen island unit inspired by bars. this mainly being the materials associated with them i.e., translucent marble, warm woods, black glass, concrete etc. The aim of this project was to build a section of the design to see wether it can be manufacture.i produce a very detailed sketch up model including where the pilot holes would go for fixings. how each part connects. step by step build. i took the sketch up model to a manufacture and he was more than happy to say that this could be built. the model i built was from the section in front of the sink.including 3 drawers and a polished concrete work top. however i did not produce the glass sliding surface this was down to costings. i am very pleased with the overall design and build. the mood boards with inspirational images on show the style of the island unit i wanted to achieve.
