Design for me is all about the true feeling that a space evokes. Design is exploring

new ideas, pushing boundaries, and making the changes that creates

excitement. My travels have allowed me to bring design and

culture from around the world into my designs through patterns, textures, and materials. The collaboration between old and new with restoration and embracing

eclectic design trickles into my design.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines sail away from the safe harbor catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore, dream, discover." -Mark Twain

The Mill

The Mill is an historic building located in Bellevue, Kentucky that will be renovated to feature three businesses on the ground level that will cater to the local community along with luxury condominiums on the upper two floors. An industrial age design will complement the exposed brick, bringing in the warmth of a variety of wood finishes and floors will create a warm, inviting space that embraces a sense of community. “The Mill Trading Post” is a gift shop that ties the whole space together. A wide selection of cookbooks, aprons and unique kitchen accessories will be available for purchase along with gift cards for catering and cooking classes. “The Mill Cooking Classes” will offer a variety of cooking lessons to the community in its state of the art facility. Individual cooking stations will include all that is required to learn a new skill, or expand on your cooking talents. A professional chef and his team will be on hand to teach a variety of cooking techniques from rolling sushi to homemade baby food. “The Mill Catering Company” will service the local community by catering weddings, parties and community events as well as lunches for local businesses. A menu of freshly made selections will be available to order along with elegant, custom made wedding cakes. “Lofts at the Mill” are luxury condominiums located on the second and third floors will also celebrate the historic elements of this beautiful building. Exposed brick, wood floors and the original metal railings will be complimented with clean lines and smooth finishes. Expansive windows allow sunlight to flood the spaces and each condo will feature its own balcony, private bedroom and views of the city.

The merchandise will be located on the showroom floor with remaining stock in storage. The materials used in the space will be a lighter value with dark accents. The color scheme will be greens, whites and browns. White LED track lighting will create a harmonious environment that highlights Greener Stock’s core values.

Pino

The downtown Cincinnati area has a wide range of restaurants and bars. I am proposing a building that will have multiple themed restaurants and bars. Introducing more entertainment to the downtown Cincinnati area will allow the area to grow and thrive. There have been many additions to the northern Cincinnati area such as the Horseshoe Casino and new developments of OT R (Over the Rhine). Introducing this new theme restaurant development will allow the entertainment industry to grow and thrive in the region.


The purpose of this project is to explore a problem in Cincinnati, Ohio and to determine a solution through the research of the city’s needs. Through a quarter worth of research the foundation was laid to determine the program for the design project followed thedesign processes, construction documents, renderings, and a poster realized in the end. Pino was developed as a 5 story themed restaurant to meet the demand of quality themed restaurants/entertainment in the city.

Basement - Speakeasy Bar First Floor - Lobby Second Floor - Italian Restaurant Third Floor - Drive In Movie Restaurant

Pino is a creative and fun destination spot. The inviting restaurants and bars boost Cincinnati’s night life. When you walk into the building you do not know what is in store. Choosing one of the seven floors you are invited to explore and understand a whole new social experience. First the basement; in normal circumstances the basement is for private use, but at Pino they encourage you to walk down the stairs and enter into the past. The 1920’s Speakeasy will engulf you and re-create a cherished period in time with the jazz band and the hush-hush of it all. If that doesn’t entice you, you could grab the family and head to the second floor.

The Italian restaurant is not only a gourmet restaurant, but it allows you to learn more about Italian culture. From the paintings on the wall to the wine selection, the restaurant will allow you to gain knowledge of this beautiful land. The third floor is another amazing spot for families. Want to know how it feels to be outside but actually be indoors? Well enter the drive in movie restaurant. You will walk into a waiting area where you will be able to purchase your ticket for your reservation. When you enter the space with the ticket, the dining hall will be transformed to create the feeling of being on the top of a hillside watching a big screen. The hostess will lead you and your party to a 1940’s car that has been re-created into a dining table. Slide into your seat and enjoy the featured presentation on the big screen.

Third Floor - Drive In Movie Restaurant Fourth Floor - Movie Restaurant Fifth Floor - Duel Piano Bar Sixth Floor - Black & White Bar

The fourth floor is a place where you can relax and see all of cinemas masterpieces. Walking into the Movie Restaurant you can discover the history of cinema, from the 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life to the loveable Shirley Temple and Mickey Mouse up to the recent classics such as Home Alone. You are able to learn about these amazing cinematic milestones. Now if dining is not what you want, but going out with friends is, the next two levels will excite you. The fifth floor is a Duel Piano bar, where you are able to walk in with friends and grab a drink and listen to the pianos play.

This is no ordinary Piano bar when you are listening to the music you can request songs! Try to stump them! The musicians will not only play, but they will sing any song that you can think of. There are many individuals jumping in and taking turns not only on the pianos, but on other fun instruments. This upbeat bar will be a fun place for anyone to come and have a good time. Finally, if you can pass up all of the other exciting floors, you can come to the Black and White bar on the sixth floor. This bar is an elegant styled bar. The contrasting of black and white with the shimmer of the crystal chandelier will be a beautiful space for people to come and relax after a long week.

A calming space will be created through the use of light, colors, and clean materials; such as glass, metals, and lacquered surfaces. The spaces will be illuminated by the use of track lighting. The lower level will accommodate for the use of casual and informal entertaining and will be able to allow for the parent(s) to eventually be able to move in.
