Lounge
- West Island School (2003/4)
As part of the graphic design course, the task was to
design and remodel an existing conference room into
a lounge. The lounge was to be able to serve simple
pastries and drinks, making a need to incorporate a
kitchen into the design.
Despite
the fantasy scenario, the project was conducted with
much realism and seriousness. Considerable research
was done to the site, on contemporary design of lounges,
as well as the official requirements such as ergonomics
and safety.
As
well as interior design, the furniture was also considered
in the design process. Results from the research revealed
that it would be best to design unique chairs, tables
and movable walls for the exclusive use of the lounge.
The
final design was a spacious and comfortable lounge that
could sit a small group of people. Chairs were designed
so that they gave the impression of closure and warmth
to visitors, and the room in general placed an emphasis
on the privacy of individual parties.
