Rivers’Loft
This project was the proposed renovation of a 22’downtown loft into an apartmentspace for a retired couple that were downsizing and moving from the suburbs intothe city. They were socially active and did a lot of entertaining. They also workedfrom home and needed two separate office spaces, and a guest room for visitingrelatives. The needs also included a master suite, gourmet kitchen and storage for20 cases of wine. Existing artwork and furniture were incorporated into the designincluding a Barcelona chair, Eames recliner, Johnson Wax desk, Mission style tableand chairs, and art deco bed. They loved the high ceilings of the loft and wantedthe ‘openness’of the space be kept as much as possible. I met all of theserequirements by adding a second floor over half of the space; the 22’ceilings arestill present in the living/dining area.
Living Room
The 22’ceilings were kept through the living/dining room.Adequate wine storage was built underneath the stairs and wasaccessible from the living room and kitchen. A bar area wasalso custom built between these two areas. The décor was keptmodern with clean lines and a black and cream color palette. Ared accent wall was added at one end to add color and interestto the space.
Master BedroomBecause an art deco bed was to be incorporatedinto this space, the art deco theme was kept throughoutand soft, relaxing colors of beige, brown andturquoise were paired with mirrored furniture andaccessories. The bed was accented even more byhanging framed mirrors above the bed.

3 Dimensional DesignI have learned that inspiration can come fromanywhere; whether it is nature, fashion, literature,or everyday living. While working as amicrobiologist in a hospital laboratory, Ioccasionally found myself inspired by the shapesthat certain bacteria and yeasts would form whilegrowing. I later used this inspiration to design alight fixture of a 3-Dimensional design class.
