Building With No Plan?

















Suzanne encouraged us to think about designing first before looking at our space plans. Based on some previous detail sketches, I decided to do just that. I started out with roughed in kitchen counter blocks and continued from there. As I want to focus on systems of tension I created a "hanging" ceiling. Bent half-ring columns support the ceiling while breaking off into more rings which begin to form shelves, the support bannister, and floor elements.

I often hold off color scheme development until the end of the project. This time I decided to find a photograph/painting of jellyfish to take my color scheme from. Though these colors can use some refinement this process was very helpful.
