As I was working on a school assignment over the weekend, it occurred to me that I never posted about my final Studio 3 project from last semester! It was an office design project, and we were given an up-and-coming technology company to design a new office space for, to be located in Pittsburg, PA. My company ended up being Jawbone, and I had a lot of fun researching the company atmosphere and developing a concept for this project.
It has become standard for us in the FSU Interior Design program now to spend the first part of any project doing extensive client research, and something that resonated with me early on referred to Jawbone focusing on "lifestyles rather than gadgets." This led me to a lot of ideas, and my concept for the office ended up being spring; the idea that out of new growth sprouts change, including lifestyles changes made through Jawbone's wearable technologies, seemed to fit with the company.
Even though I worked longer & harder on this project than I ever have before, and I spent nearly every waking moment thinking about it, I am very happy with the outcome. I definitely learned that Revit rendering is not my greatest skill, but that was one of the project parameters and I was able to challenge myself. I far prefer a mix of computer/photoshop and hand rendering, because I feel like it provides a human touch. That being said, as always I had fun with the graphical presentation parts of this project. It took me back to my days on the yearbook staff in high school.
Anyway, here's a little glimpse of the final outcome!
