Harmony House Project
This project is requiring us to design something that is comfortable and relatable for the runaway youth that would be staying there. The design must reflect the mission of the foundation to inspire, uplift and bring about positive change. I decided to use the inspiration a carousel. As we know, a carousel is an amusement ride that has a rotating circular platform with seats for riders. The seats are in the forms of rows of wooden horses or other animals. I used the elements of a carousel within my design. A perfect example of how I used these elements is in my sandwich shop. I wanted to make sure that I used straight and circular lines throughout the space. These are the lines that you will find in any carousel with the circular top and platform and the straight polls that stick through the horses. I had to find an equal balance of using both. As well as the types of lines that I used I wanted to make everything simple but as well as highly detailed. Carousels are highly detailed and ornate. They are the perfect example of how highly detailed and simple designs are put together at equal balance. As you can see from the trend, carousels are highly contrasted in lines, detail and color. That is why within my design I use light colors for the walls and floors with one accent wall that is dark. Also the use of dark and light contrasting furniture is an important accent to the room. I needed to use an equal balance of these characteristics to create a fun, inviting, and comfortable space that anyone can relate to. I think I used a combination of industrial loft and glam design style. I used hard surfaces, soft plush fabrics, mirrors, glitz, and simple layouts. Here are some materials used in my sandwich shop:
