love this space - via emily henderson

so creative - it makes me want to paint everything in my apartment

i have been wanting to do 1/2 walls for a while now and this i think is the push i needed!! 

although and she calls it out too - the blue around the window trim looks a bit off, almost like painters tape in the pics from a distance.  

but on the door it looks amaze!

white-box

By building a 1x6 tongue-and-groove headboard right into the space, Krauth was able to accommodate a California king-size bed. The mobile is from ABC Carpet & Home in New York.

 In the bedroom, a modern version of a wingback chair is decked out in white cotton twill with a custom brown mohair seat cushion. - and framed image of blue print - LOVE.

can i make this?

Adding a rich pop of color to the living area is an antique map that homeowner George Krauth had been holding onto for ages, but never had just the right spot for. To double the drama, he ordered a shade for the nearby floor lamp in the exact same turquoise color. 

 Upon moving into his new residence, Krauth did little more in the kitchen than to replace the appliances, hardware and countertops, and add a backsplash of glazed brick from Waterworks. A once-nondescript storage piece was given a coat of automobile primer and topped with cut-to-fit marble, transforming it into a handsome—and handy—bar. 

 Found in a Chattanooga salvage store, this wooden bench—securely attached to the wall—is equally adept at providing seating or storage.

thesis

i have been meaning to post my thesis on the blog 

for quite some time now -

here are the details - I designed a 300,000 sq/ft recreational facility/medical center/sleep-away camp.  The camp is for children who are faced with life threatening and chronic illnesses, Many of these children would not have the opportunity to have a camping experience due to their illness.  Inspired by Paul Newman and "Hole in the Wall Camps," - Big Apple Camp seeks to reach beyond illness, to inspire children with life-threatening diseases to become their greater selves. The mission to provide a year-round, life-changing environment for these children and their families - one that allows children to participate in an authentic camp experience by supporting their medical needs, and offers their families care, education, and respite.  In my design I leveraged biophilic and green design principles across the urban center to promote sustainability and a healthy environment for the children.

 the location i chose was Pier 57 at W. 15th St

 floor plans can be seen larger over at architizer

the complex housed offices, 2 basketball courts, a preforming arts center, inside and outside dining, kitchen classrooms, a biology/discovery area with boating and fishing, an ropes course, a movie theater, bowling alley, pet therapy, arts and crafts classrooms with an a gallery, a library, a medical center w dr offices, exam rooms, labs, cabins w lounges, outside sleeping under the stars, an olympic sized swimming pool, lazy river, volleyball courts, softball, tennis, yoga, and a mini golf course -
