Course: DS 220

We needed to design a chair with an ottoman built entirely out of cardboard. The two ottomans swing around on a hinge and act like side tables when they are not in front of the chair. We used tubing for the base of the chair and we were inspired by old-fashioned armchairs.

Eric and Mary are a free-spirited couple looking to create their dream home in the White School House in Spring Green, Wisconsin. A few years ago, Eric fell in love with the White School House and its large windows. Ever since then, he has wanted to make it into something he could not only enjoy as his studio, but also as his home. The design solution was to create a open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen. This way they will be able to interact with their guests while preparing a delicious dinner. After entertaining, Eric and Mary will enjoy a nice getaway to their master suite. The overall concept provides them with a home that they can entertain and grow old together in.

Minimalism Magazine Office Design

Student: Kung-Wei Chen
Course: DS622 Interior Design III
Program: ID


This is an interior design project about the new design for Minimalism Magazine’s office space. My goal in this project is to create an environment in which the team members can have more freedom to create the magazine content. Fashion is so dynamic that the team members need an environment conducive to their creativity. The team members need flexible work environments in order to introduce the latest in minimalist fashion. Consequently, the proposed design concept will not include any fixed furniture. Each unit will be arranged and personalized by the members themselves. In addition, this project seeks to improve office efficiency through design concepts like operable walls in public areas such as conference rooms and entertainment spaces.

In this project, students were to design and construct a modern museum of contemporary art inspired by an architect of their choice. The proposed design reflects a fusion of geometric and organic style set to take place in the urban streets of Barcelona, Spain. Influenced by both architect Mies van der Rohe and the Guggenheim Museum, the constructed design reflects similar abstract and expressive form. Skylights on the roof as well as clear panels represented in the front and back entrances allow for a mix of natural light and shadows to play with the sculptures featured inside.

The perfect home for Eric Ferguson and Mary D’Alton should balance accessibility, sociability, and beauty. In order to allow the couple to age gracefully in place, ADA codes are implemented throughout the house. The West half of the home is left completely open allowing interaction between spaces and creating a display of the couple’s favorite views from the North and South windows. The use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials helps to bring the natural environments of these views into the space. A central theme of wood shelving is established in order to display the couple’s personal artwork and their variety of collectibles. Finally, finishes were picked to compliment the historical style of the School House while still maintaining the contemporary style of the new design.
