Design strengths of My Classmate Megan Kaufman


















Above is the "hero shot" from a kitchen design project Megan Kaufman created last semester. Her strengths are many, as Megan's casual modern style features definite forms that seamlessly blend together. Her designs are never predictable but still familiar. Megan often incorporates furniture peices into walls, and even the ceiling. She seems to design with entourage in mind as furniture and storage pieces display art, cookware, and seating in a creative and thoughtful way.
Warm and inviting atmospheres are often created through Megan's soft color use. Her hard work and dedication has has brought her to a very refined and definite rendering style. Her attention to texture is always successful as she never "over textures" an object. Wood grains and granite sit in the space rather than stand out, bringing her renderings closer to reality. Megan and I share an affection for drawing scale figures as well. Her scale figures are often shown engaging the space, effectively illustrating its purpose and harmony.
