2nd Place Award Interior Design Student Exhibition. This project focuses on the specification of sustainable fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and finishes for a Sales Office and Model Home space located in Palm Springs, CA.
PALM BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT SALES OFFICE
The Palm Building and Development sales office will reflect a calm, artistic, and professional environment where guests feel welcomed and comfortable and employees will feel inspired. Guests will be welcomed by a reception area and the calming effect of a natural stone water feature. The style of the offices will be tied to the style of the condos that are for sale with a similar modern Mid Century inspired decor that incorporates the natural lake front environment. Window treatments will be kept light and to a minimum to maximize light, reduce energy costs during daylight hours, and promote a clean refreshing environment. Furnishing will be ergonomic and clean, modern in styling and comfortable for guests in order to make potential customers feel at ease. Environmentally friendly products will be used whenever possible which will reinforce the eco sensitivity business model of the company. The space will meet all codes and guidelines for flammability required by the state of California. The sales office will be ADA accessible so that everyone can enter and move through the space comfortably. Overall the space will be clean, efficient, easily navigated, and inspiring while offering potential clients a glimpse of the stylish ambiance that they will soon experience in the condominium.
AQUA PALM CONDOMINIUMS
Located on a newly developed lake resort in Palm Springs, California, the Aqua Palm Condominiums will have modern styling inspired by the casual elegance of Mid Century design combined with the subtle sophistication of nature. A soothing natural color pallet inspired by the sand, stone, lake, and desert sky will offer a sense of calm and relaxation to its residence and added pops of color through art and accessories will provide interest and energy to the space. Window coverings will be kept light and minimal as to preserve the lake view and allow the spaces to be flooded with light as desired. Furnishings will have clean lines and classic styling with durable textured fabrics and rich wood tones. Finishes will also reflect the natural environment with textured wallcoverings, light flooring, stone, and wood cabinetry. Many of the materials, furnishings, and finishes in this project will be eco-friendly and have sustainable characteristics. Whether this will be the residence’s home away from home or permanent dwelling, the space will provide a comfortable and stylish atmosphere for living or entertaining.
