JENGA - WI2 narrativeS 1.1

Building 1: 32'4"x11' : kit C (2 columns, 1 wall)
IGNITE: burn, light, combustion, inflame, wake, arouse, evoke, raise, PROVOKE:

your passion daily and in every sense. You’ve been invited to step into a place that arouses a passion for nature. Upon entering you’re faced with 8’ tall-untreated windows, allowing all of nature in. Also, upon entrance you’re greeted with two columns that stand as tall as the trees. This layout is left open due to the small amount of square footage. The columns now serve a dual function; they represent the beauty and grandness like most things in nature while dividing spaces of activity. It’s clear where to reflect, sleep, and even prepare food. Since I’ve invited you in, let’s check out the remaining layout. Cruising through, pass the food prep area, a 10’Lx 10H wall is planted to provide yet again division of the space as well as a place for privacy in this case; it's the lavatory. The wall is made of wood and is uniquely carved with linear waves creating a motion like the rolling hills in the mountains. Departing will not be easy!

Building 2: 22' x 22' : kit B (2 walls, 1 column)
IGNITE: burn, light, combustion, inflame, wake, arouse, evoke, raise, provoke

Arriving in this space will immediately send you in a comfort zone. It’s a place of relief as well as sheer chicness. The entrance welcomes you to unload the weight of the day! With a console table to left and plush setting to unwind, or to finish that conversation you tried ending previously, with the friend who can’t stop talking. Continuing, you’ll find a place to satisfy all your needs, including entertainment, eating, and bathing; All within a few steps of the other. What sets this interior aside from others is its old world charm with a modern heart beat. The furniture has been carefully chosen to arouse a sense of what’s new. Its distressed appearance suggests: from the flames of the fire rises the NEW. The fireplace rests in a linear direction along one of the two walls of the space. The designer utilized the wall to create a atmosphere of coziness one would feel while enjoying the burning of a fire. Functionally, was not spared in the design. The two walls along with the column successfully separate the places you visit inside the space as well as create privacy for intimate moments.

Building 3: 32'4" x 22' : kit A (2 soilds)
IGNITE: burn, light, combustion, inflame, wake, arouse, evoke, raise, provoke

When the resident or his/her guests enter this space, it’s apparent that the experience will be rich! You are greeted with great art on the walls and a massive bookshelf. Within this space seating is arranged for reflection. Immediately you may indulge yourself in a moment to read, relax, relate or release. Just continue inside straight ahead near the windows or on the north wall; or perhaps take a slight left where additional seating is also an option. Having ample seating allows guests to feel burden free and cozy. Once the reflection period is over and you’re interested in an engaging in other activities, such as a favorite television program, there’s only a few short flight of stairs to the entertainment and eating area. It’s very convenient and cleverly positioned for the ultimate socializing experience. The inevitable has happened, a side trip to the restroom. Since this space only has two solid areas and is opened otherwise, there’s no chance of getting lost. Exiting the activity area, a left turn will take you to the restroom, where guests get an additional moment to admire the artwork. Departure will also be an easy task; you’ve passed it on the route to the restroom, and it’s the only door in the living space. The areas (places) inside the space were strategically situated for the resident and his/her guest in mind. Conceptually, each space where activity will take place was raised from the main floor level with short flights of stairs...evoking or heightening the urgency to engage them.

JENGA: wi1

I am a graduate of High Point University, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Home Furniture Marketing. Once I received my bachelors I decided that my education at HPU wasn’t enough. During the interim of searching for a continuing education institution, I acquired a job with a small firm that specializes in interior renovations of multi-family housing units. My title: “Marketing Director”, however, I wore many hats. My favorite was selecting the hardware, plumbing fixtures, counter tops and lighting for the units. I also worked for a furniture company where I became familiar with over 300 manufactures of residential and commercial furniture and accent pieces. In this position I worked close at hand with the owner of the store, designing the showroom. Overall, I enjoyed assisting customer in their furniture selection and space planning. It was then that I discovered that I wanted to do more than select furniture and fabric; I wanted to decide the shape and form of living spaces and decide the functionality of them.

At this point, it became apparent that UNCG was the perfect fit.

As an adult student I brought many strengths and weakness along with me. I believe that one of my major attributes, as a designer is my ability to be versatile. I am able to successfully complete a project from the client / professor’s specifications; without over implementing my own personal style preference. My classmates concurred as well as pointed out my professionalism.

Never the less I have much more room for growth. I am eager to be able to effectively communicate my ideas and designs using correct design terms. I am also anxious to find my niche in design.

In addition......

Following class on Friday, January 14, 2011 as well as a day and a half of fumbling with an assignment that included building a model, space planning, and writing a narrative. I’ve now reprioritized my goals. I need to establish my very own DESIGN PROCESS!
