Interior Design Portfolio

KELI HAFFNER

My objective of this portfolio is to give myself the chance and opportunity to provide clear examples of my work to career professionals and in a clear, professional manor. This will be a chance to expand my writing abilities in relation to properly portraying my projects and works into words. I have had the habit of explaining my work with a poetic feel to it, but this is not always the most appealing thing to do depending on the person that is reading my portfolio. With writing that flows and good works I will be able to show job prospects that I am ready to work and ready to expand my design capabilities.

1 2Creating a design that both is formal and informal, one does not have to feel like they are always at their place of work, but in a third place of their own.

Previous & Current ConditionsThe Information Technology Building once had an atrium full of life, light and activities, that life was taken away when the new addition to the football stadium was built. A once bright space that brought in strictly natural daylight, this atrium is now a black abyss giving those who work within the building an unpleasant sight everyday. This once atrium is now turned into a workplace, both formal and informal for the purpose of giving an option to what best suites their needs.

How I proceeded through this design of the Atrium.

The atrium once contained wildlife and a place where groups would come and create an appealing landscape for those working in the build-

ing and looking down from above the building

The formal space consists of an area for conferencing, as there is no current space that has enough room for all attending the meeting. In this area there are

In this space there are two meeting booths that have acoustics as well, for additional privacy. Lighting is necessary in the conference area to adhere to whatever tasks are being done as well as lighting the path too

Single seats with tables for private work are located along the hallways that lead into the informal space.

Lighting is this space will not be as bright as the formal space, but still adequate enough lighting to complete any task one is doing. For this workplace, the lighting concepts that were used are,

these can be seen around the perimeter of the space as a secondary ground light source.

Seating is varied depending on what the guest is trying to accomplish or who they are there to meet there are. The coffee tables consist of openings for literatures or personal storage.

As one enters into the informal space whether it be through the main lobby or from the formal space, they walk into an atmosphere that is relaxing and personable.

An extrodinary three-wing conference building is a central hub within a office space for an advertisty agency. The three wings provide space for four meeting rooms, each with acoustic properties, and the capability to be a more private space or open the space up to have a larger meeting. Each room is unique in its own way from their use of different materials to the layout of the rooms themselves. The creative aspects of these rooms make for a pleasant workspace that can be used depending on what task needs to be addressed at that current moment. The lighting in these spaces generate the impression of natural daylight and offer individual styles but overall luminance is balanced and inviting. The colors throughout the office and meeting rooms make specific areas distinctive and offer a way to advance ones creativitiy for their own designs. This office includes an indoor garden that provides seating to relax with trees that create a refreshing airy feel to the work environment so one is not taken away from the outdoor while working indoors. These spaces allow for connection between co-workers as well as allowing privacy when it is necessary. When relating this office space aspects with what can be developed for the IT Centers atrium, by bringing back the feelings of outdoors with a smaller indoor garden. It had been mentioned by those working there that the current conference room does not quite fit aeveryone all the time and that a larger one could be very adequate for formal and informal meetings. A good use of lighting can help give offices more privacy and/or better work lighting and can give ones the oppoirtunity to be able to have their lights off when they want to like the use to be able to do before.

This diagram breaks down the process taken in the designing of the IT Centers Atrium

BackgroundIt is captivating that an individual form of light can define the darkness of a space but it can also challenge the space in becoming functionally exceptional.

Interior design students began a project in a former-atrium space that was once filled with natural lighting that became an empty pit of darkness when the football stadium addition was built. While this space use to contain greenery and animal life, it was also a place for those working in the building with offices along the atrium, to have a engaging environment to look out to while working. As these offices and conference rooms were not placed along the exterior of the building, the atrium gave them a chance to see things that are now unable to be seen.

Donlyn Lyndon says, “Light brings places to us. Through its abundance we can see and interpret things that are not proximate to our touch, audible to our ears, or evident through smell; light lets us know about things that are remote.”

MethodsStudents participated in a workshop by the Palouse Discovery Science Center pertaining to different forms of light and optics in a new way of learning by actually working with light through light exhibits, and physically grasping ways light can move. This format made for a greater understanding through expression, this being in contrast with a traditional classroom format. The experiential learning impacted and advanced student understanding of light and the ability to apply that understanding to a design problem.

There was a clear difference on the understanding of lighting from a lecture based course and learning how different forms of light can be produced, this being experienced by coming in contact with the optics hands-on to truly examine their different aspects.

ResearchThe development of case studies on the workplace assisted students in understanding how light can have a major impact on workplace design.

Students visited the de-composing, empty site to review the space and interview building occupants for investigating the site that it once was known to be.

Students presented preliminary design ideas to the building occupants to gather further information in determining what could be done to eradicate the black abyss.

With using the workshop on lighting and optics, students chose two lighting features that were picked to complete the workplace light design. The proposed design for the atrium space utilized color mixing, the clustering together of LED lights with the three primary colors to blend and produce variations of color, mainly being the production of a soft white light. This design makes use of light reflection through the laws of reflection, that is the angle at which a wave of light projecting onto a surface is equal to the angle that is reflected back.

Results & ConclusionLight is an essential tool in recognizing the world and being able to communicate within it. The end result of this design features a series of lighting units that either give additional light and ones that reflect to a specific location depending on the function.

This once atrium is now turned into a workplace for the buildings patrons. There is both, formal and informal spaces that are designed to generate a variety of environments for occupants to work in and feel as if they are being inspired by something new. The formal space consists of an area for conferencing as there is no current space that has enough room for all attending the meeting. As one enters into the informal space, they walk into an atmosphere that is relaxing and personable. Seating is varied depending on what someone is trying to accomplish or who they are there to meet, the chairs are cushioned for comfort and capable of having a slight rock for relaxation.

In creating a design that both is formal and informal, one does not have to feel like they are always at their place of work, but in a third place of their own. The incorporation of a reflective ceiling makes for the borrowing of light to influence the space in inventive ways. Eradicating the darkness in this black abyss is indispensable in generating radiance for the building occupants.

“Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle,” -Benjamin Franklin.

Consolidation of the Unrecognized From Abyss to Radiance

Diagram Representing the Law of Reflection. This diagram identifies how a reflecting surface can create a reflective wave of light to a specific direction while the angle of the light bouncing on the surface is equal to the angle of light bouncing off the surface.

The Palouse Discovery Science Center Light in Optics Exhibit brought a workshop to Carpenter Hall where the class got to experiment different light exhibits. This image show students experimenting with color mixing. The use of three primary colors creating a white light, while also discovering what other colors of light could be created from turning a primary color on and off.

Case studies were apart of the pre-design, in helping to understand how a workspace is lite to where it creates col-laborating spaces that can appeal to any function that may be necessary during that work day.

Preliminary design critiques were done in the IT Building in order to receive feedback from more people than just those that were interviewed. Introducing multiple design ideas helped in choosing a final design idea to produce within the atrium space.

A view of the formal meeting space in the atrium, Lighting fixtures reflect light throughout the space. The floor contains color mixing LED lights to produce lighting along the perimeter of the atrium space. This space contains meeting pods, individual seating along hallways and a large conference space.

2-D Process Work

This old safe can be found inside the Albion Library. The safe brought on the idea of a bolt holding the safe together and the Little Free Library as a bolt to bring the town together in a new way.

Different aspects of buildings started the design process of this structure. Starting with historical features and scaling them down and finding what ways they could be seen as a Little Free Library

Dear Trisa,

Upon graduating from WSU, I have a high interest in working as an interior design assistant with your company. During my previous internship with you, I learned more about design and how it relates in the real world than I could have imagined. Working by your side showed me that design is a personal connection and that as designers we strive to find our ideal clients who we ultimately expose to interior design and what it has to offer. My computer and rendering skills have impacted my work in design studio. My design now better demonstrate the passion and vision I have. With these improved skills, and my ambition to further my design capabilities, I think I could become a valuable employee and assistant for your company.

Your firms work on past and current residential projects have drawn me in, by working with clients on a more personal level. Which creates a result that satisfies everyone, especially the client. Your community involvement to spread the word and show people what interior design is. Through showcasing projects and being involved in multiple local design competitions. In addition, I appreciate your efforts to bring design to others within smaller towns and not just the wealthy can have a beautiful home that has their personal touches, but that there is opportunity to make home feeling like it is “your” home.

I have attached a resume that shows my qualifications as an interior designer including relevant skills and experience. A portfolio may be provided on request or the link to my website.

Thank You for your time and consideration,

Keli Haffner
