Project outline

This was a test fit for a narrow open- office space with a glass wall on one side. The exact number of employees and desk requirements were given, as well as desired furniture manufacturer- Vitra. Colour scheme was kept down to wood, glass, green and glossy white finish, to keep the narrow space as bright as possible. The test fit was successfully competed and put forward as a business proposal to the client.

Project outline

The purpose of this project was to create an institution which would serve as a bridge between prison and real life. The aim was to socially rehabilitate offenders, but mainly create social acceptance towards them, and involve general public in this institution, in order to allow ex- prisoners to integrate back into society. The main feature of the building would be art studios for ex- offenders and a gallery space where their work would be displayed for general public to view or purchase.

There are two identical entrances, one for public and one for ex- offenders that work there. That is both funcional and symbolic, because these two groups meet half way in the middle of the buiding. The primary desired outcome was to create a social awareness of the problems with ex-offenders, especially young ones, and reasons for re- offending rates being so high. I was also targeting to shows the need for bigger involve-ment of designers and architects in social projects like this, as they seem to be neglected too often by visual artists, who in fact have huge influence on social opinion and perception of issues. The layout and design of the whole building was ment to pass the message of social acceptance and represent the opposite of typical, isolated and hidden institutions of this kind. Spatial features and concept of ‘transparency’ were designed to indirectly trigger curiosity, playfulness, and feeling of opened opportunities.

Ladies Club in Shoreditch

Project outline

Design a modern cook school, where older ladies would be teaching younger ones how to cook traditional meals from scratch. Apart from cooking there would be a cinema room, where both generation would be able to watch fimls which would contribute to the learning process about family values, householding and role of a woman in the family. The project idea is not to promote old shcool lifestyle, but to selectively pick some positive influences from the past and adjust them to modern family lifestyles. The theory behind this design proposal was based on current trend to cook from scratch, host dinner parties, keep up with healthy lifestyle and paying more attention to home atmosphere. Examples were taken from 20’s to 50’s, when perfect housewifes were very popular and appreciated. The idea was to introduce some old fashioned housewife skills into modern life that women have today. Cooking school would be opened to anyone that is happy to join. Chosen site for the project is an existing gallery space on 28 Red church street,E2 7DP in London. The area is quite luxury, full of design shops and nice small coffee shops, which was ideal area for this design proposal. Interior design for this project is modern, based on geometrical shapes, flowing throughout the whole space and connecting all rooms.perfectly suitable for this project.

Project outline

Redesign the space for Jamie Oliver ’s apprentices that are part of his Fifteen project and Fifteen Restaurant located in London, Old Street. 15 to 18 young people that were chosen to enter the project are being trained by 25 professional chefs under Jamie Oliver ’s supervision. Although they learn how to cook in the restaurant, and have courses at the college, they have a separate space for rest and study, just round the corner from the restaurant. The space where apprentices spend a lot of time in, does not suit their needs and is very uninspiring. Client was looking to improve the conditions for apprentices, and office workers, making it feel more like a second home. They wanted the space to be brighter, more functional and to suit young people’s taste. The design solution was aiming to make the basement brighter and bring natural motives to the space as well as make spaces more opened with minimum partitions.

Skater House in TokyoThis Interior Design project is a proposal for a young professional skater ’s flat built in Tokyo.

Client dedicates most of his time to skating as skating is not just a job for him, it is his lifestyle as well. He often invites his friends, who are into extreme sports, and they practise different tricks together. The main idea behind this design was to create a ‘Skate-able’ house, almost like a dream home for a professional skater whilst also giving the space a Japanese feel through some traditional Japanese design elements. All doors which separate spaces are Japanese sliding doors, which connect all spaces and create a huge skate park for the client and his friends to enjoy. However this design is not just about ramps and loops for skating, it still has a modern home atmosphere, with a touch of Japanese style.

‘Submersion‘ Installation

Inspiration was taken from organic patterns and photographs of water drops, as the original goal was to create an organic themed installation. The effects seen on photographs were incorporated into the design of repetitive elements that create the overall submersion effect in the space.

Abstract water drops, created from glass and metal layers are blown out of proportion and placed around the space in order to create an effect of submersion for visitors. Human sculptures are places inside of some drops to highlight the proportions and also create a feeling of being trapped inside of the molecule.

The biggest drop on the ceiling is filled with water which slowly fills up the drop placed on the floor, which makes the installa-tion more realistic and reminds the visitors about the theme.

Inspiration was taken from organic patterns and photographs of water drops as original goal was to create an installation with an organic theme. After looking into shapes and objects in the nature, water turned out to be the most inspiring natural element. Many photographers take pictures of water drops using different light effects and zoom in options, achieving amazing inspirational images. If looked at each water drop on the picture, it has a pattern of some sort because of transparency and light reflection.

This led to the main concept of creating an Installation using the water drop’s shapes and applying organic patterns on top of them in order to create an even more dynamic and organic looking installation. One of the purposes of this installation was to make visitor’s feel trapped inside of the space, where stylized and oversized water drops both interflow with each other and the space itself. Some of the designed water drops placed on the ceiling are half filled with water which slowly keeps dripping to another water drop structure which is located directly underneath on the floor. This feature crates a more realistic and interactive experience making visitors experience the water drop installation both through vision and real water drop sound. As the installation is designed to make a human feel small and unimportant compared to the water drops, two of the bigger structures located on the floor have a human sculptures placed inside. Visitors walking around the space eventually notice two realistic human like sculptures trapped inside the water drops which slowly with time get filled with real water.

Methodology Materials

The installation would be placed in one of the spaces in the Saatchi gallery, where the room has clean white walls and very high ceiling where this installation perfectly fits in and allows visitor’s to experience all of it’s effects.

Main materials used in the installation would be metal and glass. The surface of each ball, which represent the water molecules in the installation, consists of two layers, First layer is metal and underneath it the second layer which can be seen through the top one is glass. These materials were chosen to create a similar visual effect and light reflection as on photographs which inspiration was taken from.

An old storage building was given where the new owner wanted to build a high end restaurant for young professionals. The Interior design was meant to carry the spirit of Egypt without any obvious traditional elements. Final proposal was a modern interior where black and gold are dominating colours and geometrical shapes, borrowed from Egyptian traditional graphic art. The mosaic image on the wall stands as a main feature of the restaurant, also giving the interior a little bit of Egyptian spirit.
