The Intern

So just an update. I am currently interning at a Interior Design Firm in High Point , NC By the name of Lisa Sherry Interieurs Since January I have learned so much, new terminology, new ideas, new way of looking at objects that some may see as blah, all while truly developing my designer eye. Becoming a designer seemed so far form my reach even while pursuing it as an education choice but now I see others who are very much like myself pursing and succeeding at it daily. I foresee a wonderful working relationship between the designers here at Interieurs as they continue to teach me the very basics of the trade. I also have decided to start my own collection of tear sheets of some of my favorite ideas. so be on the look out for that addition to my blog. Wish me continued luck!

The Hive Final

Diagram of spacial planning for entire space

Put it on Paper!......works in progress- The Hatchery

WONDER-WALL

These guys are awesome, i love the fact that the pull literally from there conceptual framework and it works, but they have the flexibility to also create very sophisticated interiors.

FREE YOUR MIND....The Hatchery

My concept currently is a Hive using the definition : a place swarming with busy occupants. This would be a defining characteristic of the Hatchery on a daily basis. To be able to view the activity from the outside is a element that i would like to have throughout the space. I've thought about the physical characteristics of a hive and in not wanting to be literal in form by using the hexagonal shape, I've thought about other things like the angle used to make a hexagon, which is approx. 30 degrees, the idea of smaller spaces creating one whole is another idea that could be incorporated into the space. The material qualities of a hive are interesting and can be applied in the hatchery space as well, I want to use the opaque quality of beeswax and the idea of flexibility of the material both physically and in the ability to use things for more than one purpose.
So far my thoughts of the space begin form when you enter, currently want to keep the lower facade of the site with its unique window as is. Upon entering the space I envision a quirky but clean directory of the space a whats where directory for visitors to their respective points of interest and appointment spaces. This would be on or near the wall shared by the retail space. A lobby area where there would be seating. The retail space would be separated by a partition wall as the retail space is scooped out of the hatchery interior space like you would do with honey. The retail space is composed of three walls the partition where you enter the curved wall the takes you along the perimeter and a wall that carries you out of the retail space at 30 degrees and down a wide corridor to the right. From there you enter an exhibition space and then there is a stair case that splits and takes you to the second level, but below the stairs is a conference room where meetings for groups can be held, depending on space possible office space for Hatchery operations could be here as well. As You proceed up the stairs the gallery continues and work is dispayed through the stair case , and as you reach the second level you enter the exhibition / Performance space, and then there is a level change as you go down a corridor where there are rooms that are mixed use for collaboration spaces, classrooms, etc. This is where i am now, all spaces are not definite but this is what i would like my flow to be. Some other aspects of Hive as a concept that i hope to explore are Repetition, Swarm, Dark, Light, and
Warmth.
