Kitchen Design

I had designed this kitchen for a larger family that lives in the country.  The lay out has everything where you can go from one spot to the next.  You don't have to run around the whole kitchen to get what you need.  You may go from sink, to oven, to fridge in a triangle.

Element of Design: Exam

    This waiting room makes you feel relaxed and it catches your eye.  The lines in the room make you feel like there is movement and that something is going to be taking place.  There is enough space for the kids to be playing with the toys and for the adults to have their own space to themselves.  There are textures in the couch, the floor, wall paper, and the toy basket.

Emphasis: Piano

Element of Design: Line

Vertical Line

I chose this for vertical lines because it shows all of the lines going in a vertical direction.  It also suggests that action takes place in this room because that is the position people take for walking.  The feeling this line gives you is movement it feels like something is going to take place.   

Horizontal Line   

I chose this for horizontal lines because it has almost all of the lines going into a horizontal placement.  The room suggests rest or repose because that is the position people take while resting.  So the feeling would be relaxing for this room.   

Curved Lines

This board I chose for curved lines because it has different directions that the lines are takin place in.  The room has feeling and it shows excitment in differnet ways. 

Diagonal Lines

This room shows diagonal lines because it has a feeling of excitment and different directions of lines.  Yours eyes don't just look at one thing in the room your eyes want to see everything in this room.  This room also shows a poistion of movement that people take for running.

Color Forecast

New color trends this year are: acid yellow, acid green, blue, pink, red, violet, orange, gray, camel, chocolate brown, mocha, cinnamon, and soft grays.  The reason these colors are the new color trend this year is because it has a confortable and soft feeling to them.  The netural colors make you feel relaxed.  This olioboard fits into the color trends this year because its has the netural colors with some blues and a pop of yellow with green.  I used the triadic color scheme but instead of orange I used a acud yellow because it fits in with the room better. 

Color Schemes

Monochromatic
Color Scheme

The Cadabra family wanted a master bedroom for the parents.  They love bright colors so I took different hues of orange with white and made the room pop.

 

Analogous Color Scheme



Cadabra family wants a dining area with bright fun colors.  I did a analogous color scheme and used orange, yellow, and red.  I also used different hues of these three colors to make the room stand out.  Now your eyes want to see everthing in the room not just focus on one thing.

 



Complementary Color Schemes

 

Cadabra family wanted a theater room where they could relax and watch movies together.  A complementary color scheme was used to make the room seem relaxing but yet want to make you feel happy and like you have energy.  I used blues and oranges to make this room feel that way.

 

 

 

Triadic



willow springs green

 For the Cadabra's music room is used a triadic color scheme.  For this color scheme I used green, yellow, and orange, since the family loves bright colors.  They will now be able to relax and listen to music in this new room.

Landscape Architect

The job that I am doing is a Landscape Architect.  The envorment around the work area is either nature or a building.  For education\training you have to have 4 to 5 years of a college degree in landscape architecture (required).  The career category this job falls under is home contsruction and desgin.  The job outlook of a Landscape Designer is they meet with the client at the spot of work and talk about how much space they have to work with, and once they dicuss it the architect draws the plans for the design by hand or by using LandCADD (program for technology drawing of the layout).  The average salary they make is $63,000.  Personally I somewhat, maybe see myself going toward this job.  I find it interseting as a job that a person would do.  

Housing Life Cycle Project

 

 

At age 14 I think this house is a good choice because it fits all of my family’s needs.  The ideal description of this house is it has wide open spaces in the house.   My mom loves having open spaces so everything is not so close together.   It has 4 bedrooms and 2 & 1.5 bath.  It has 2,388 square feet, and was built in 2006.  Has enough room for my mom, dad, sister and myself also a guest if someone was going to stay with us for a period of time.   Its provides safety, shelter, storage, and give you a place to sleep and keep your food. 

At age 21 I believe that this will be a good place for me to live.  I think that it fits all of the physical and psychological needs we talked about in class.  One bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, dining room,  living room and two closets.  It has enough space for me and if I had a boyfriend he could live in there with me so I wouldn’t have to pay the rent all by myself.  It fits all the needs and that is why it would be a good place for me when I am 21.

I think that at age 41 this house will fit all of my family’s needs such as safety, shelter, place to sleep, storage, and place to keep food.  It also fits all of the psychological needs.  Psychological needs are privacy, identity, creativity, and love and belonging.  This home has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 partial, and enough garage space for all of us if we needed it. 

For age 71 I think this is a good place for me to be.  I think that it is a good place because it provides shelter, some storage, safety, and a place to keep your foods you don’t starve.  It provides most of the psychological needs such as privacy, and love and belonging.  It has one bed and one bath. It has just enough space for me and my husband.  Plus it doesn’t have all of this open space to make you feel lonely.
