INSPIRATION

Full windows span the north wall in order to maximize diffused natural daylight and aid in increasing productivity for the students

The entrance is full glass in consideration of the eye’s natural adaptation process between the bright exterior environment into an interior space

Linear recessed direct down lights are placed above the ceiling feature to create shadow variability

AMBIENT INKSEAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN

Ambient Inks is a print-making studio housing both retail and office spaces in Eau Claire, WI. This design was completed as a freelance project for an expanding business that needed to relocate to a larger space. The design emphasizes the existing architecture by complimenting the industrial nature of the building with a minimal design aesthetic. Flexibility was an important aspect of the project as the space is used primarily as retail and office, but after hours houses other events. The main priorities were separating public and private areas, in addition to providing adequate display for merchandise.

VERDANTPOP UP RETAIL PROJECT

A competitor of the store LUSH wants to introduce a new organic line to their customers called VERDANT. I proposed a pop up shop that is small, portable, and compact in order to travel to multiple sites to promote their new line. The form is seamlessly integrated with the natural environment it’s housed in. By eliminating the barriers between interior and exterior, the customer will experience the essence of natural beauty.
