3. Spurs
College Bar Redesign
Problem:
Deliverables:
Concept statement, complete set of
working drawings, specification booklet
and budget, rendered perspectives and
presentation for college staff.
A combination of industrial themes and
rustic features that bring the trades,
technology and agricultural components
of the college together. A new bar and
kitchen, dance floor, pool area, study
lounge and coffee bar catering to meet
all needs of both staff and students.
Solution:
To redesign the Lakeland College
student activity center. Transforming the
space to be multifunctional, enjoyable
and profitable for the school and its
students.
4. The clients were looking to keep as much of the
current building footprint as possible to save on
budget. The biggest problem with the current
space that needed to be fixed, was the traffic flow.
The new space was to be an open concept that
allowed people to move around and easily enjoy
the entire bar. As a design team, we found that by
removing walls and visually connecting the spaces
with complimenting finishes and fixtures we would
achieve one uniformed space.
5. To find a concept and design
solution that pleased the majority
of college students and staff; a
survey was sent out to learn more
about what was lacking in the
current facility.
The results:
- No Dance Floor
- No space for pool tables
- Bar was unusually large
- Space was too bright
Learning more about how the
space could be used more
efficiently allowed our design
team to move forward with our
rough sketched plans.
Design Planning
6. Main Floor Plan
Rustic laminate plank flooring runs
through out the entire space to enforce
an open concept and create unity in all
areas of the bar. Deep red tones add
liveliness and mixed metals and woods
bring character into the space.
7. Working as a team of
designers to recreate
the space and meet
clients needs. Solving
design problems
together and forming
a solution.

appliances include the latest energy saving technology
to minimalize their carbon footprint. The structure is
surrounded by a heavily forested terrain with a pond
next to the house and orientated perfectly for clients to
enjoy the sunrises from their art studio. Large expanses
of glass blur the lines between indoors and out and
allow as much natural daylight as possible into the
home. The Master suit is separated from the open
concept main floor to host guests comfortably.

14. We’ve all seen a lily before – but no one has seen every lily…
“ “
Alchemy Florists is meant to be a flower shop that no one
has seen before. Even though many people have already
been to other flower shops; this one is uniquely it’s own.
15. Solution:
A Mother Nature inspired flower shop that brings elements from the garden inside. A large living plant wall, small water
fall, fish pond, natural textures and a large sky LED ceiling transform the interior of the shop to make shoppers feel as if
they were outdoors. The walk-in flower cooler and consultation space gives shoppers the full experience of purchasing
arrangements they enjoy.
Floor Plan
19. Alchemy Florists is a flower shop catered specifically
to clients by giving them beautiful, custom floral
arrangements that suit their exact needs. The walk-in
flower cooler is open for shoppers to go in and pick
out arrangements and bouquets that appeal to
them.
A consultation space is reserved for clients to discuss
and decide on custom flower arrangements and
bouquets for their event with the floral designer. This
area allows brides to receive the full attention they
need, event planners to make quick decisions and
see multiple options, and shoppers to place large
orders for future events.
The large back work space provides plenty of room
for large orders that are awaiting pick up and
delivery orders to go out. The large island allows
multiple designers to work at the same time and
spread out product for better visibility.

21. Airport Kiosk
Small Retail Design
Problem:
Deliverables:
Solution:
To create a conceptual design for an international
airport kiosk under 200 square feet.
Research and concept development, material board,
Sketch Up model, packaging or product and brand
signage.
A trend setting watch shop with large rotating cases
allowing shoppers to enjoy a full view of all the
watches. The tilted roof is an LED light with hands that
show real time. Half Past is not only a store, but also
becomes a practical time piece for all to view. The store
itself is arranged as a literal watch with Dekton floors as
the face, the cash desk and display cases as 15 minute
markers and the clock work above.
22. Solution:
Half Past is meant to represent the product it sells. The kiosk is
open and attractive to every person walking through the airport.
We wanted to grab the attention of people by having the LED
light glisten off of the watch faces rotating in the cases below.
From across the room shoppers would notice a soft glitter
illuminating from the cases; encouraging onlookers to investigate.

A traditional bathroom with elegant

mirror reflects light around the room
and the large vanity provides ample
storage.
Solution:
24. The white marble finished double shower is spacious and allows plenty of natural light in while the dark
Brazilian slate flooring continues the elegant contrast in the space. A luxurious towel warmer is set into a
niche just outside of the walk-in shower for convenience.

31. The client is a pastry chef, so amble counter space was
a necessity. Bringing the base cabinetry forward 6”
from the wall allowed the marble stone counter tops to
extend further back, therefore creating more counter
space for the client to roll out fondant, store appliances
and place finished pastries to cool.
