IMAGINING DESIGN
For this home, I presented ideas to build a stone wall to raise the front yard, add plantings surrounded by stone pebbles and to add a custom fence and wood gates. I designed an addition to the back of the house with an added porch to increase living space. A garage was converted into a studio. The remaining back yard was covered in red brick and a large pergola was designed to offer an outdoor eating/relaxing area. Potted plants were added to the bricked backyard and along the side of the driveway. I designed the interior to create an inviting atmosphere with modern, but comfortable furnishings.
The goal in this chiropractic office was to combine a professional atmosphere with a welcoming, calming space. Warm colors, artwork, an organized environment added to the purpose of this wellness clinic. I designed the interior spaces, chose colors and designed the signage.
