Project: Vertu retail store Location: Conceptual Designer: Group project Date: 2007 |
|
The Vertu retail store concept was a contrast of space and tone. This section drawing of the phone store incorporates figure that are photomontaged on to the drawing to offer a sense of the store’s scale. The positive/negative aspect of the scheme is echoed in the white-on – black (reversed) drawing. The focus of the drawings is on the interior space and also the display of the merchandise. |
When designing an interior space the use of colour, texture, available light and finish are also key considerations that contribute to an overall scheme. These aspects of design can be varied to produce an array of interior experiences. Much like perspective drawings (see page 52), sample panels or material boards can suggest how the finish of the interior could be executed.
Sample panels can show colour schemes and the finishes of wall coverings and flooring materials and specify particular interior details such as door handles or timber finishes, which may be included to give a real-size example of the intended finish.
Project: Student housing scheme Location: Rotterdam, the Netherlands Designer: Jeremy Davies Date: 2007
This proposed housing project used an innovative idea for student accommodation. It comprises a series of large-scale ‘trunks’ that are self-contained storage, sleeping and study areas. The detail drawing and interior perspective give a good idea of the scale of the design and also how students could inhabit the ‘rooms’. The proposal is a unique solution to a common interior space challenge.
