Seeing Others hard work pay off

This semester we had the chance to visit and see other upper years work. My group was assigned to third year critiques. Third year students had two projects this semester, one to design the interior space of Central Regional Hospital and the other was to re vamp a building in downtown durham off of W Parish Street.

When viewing all of the layouts and ideas I came across one that caught my eye by a girl named Kaitlyn O'boyle. Her concept was the seasons and the emotions each one evoked. The layout to me was very childlike, which was what the assignment was aimed towards. It expressed a happy sense of emotion which i enjoyed. There was color in her design but not too much.

106 Parish street is a building that will be turned into a wine bar on the first floor, with lofts on the second and third. The task the designers took on was trying to integrate the retail as well as residential spaces together. My favorite one was titled Lantern. This group talked a bout a bazaar which is like a flea market. The textures and material as well as lighting gave off a nice glowing feel.
