Sketchbook Idea
Final Facade
My dream house would be close to a city but in a little patch of woods. It would be a medium sized house and it would be cozy and tucked into the woods. It will look like a cabin made of wood, but it will be classic and timeless, not old fashioned. It will be kind of farmhouse/modern with a metal roof. It will have white shudders and doors, black/metal trimming and accents. It would have a dark and middle toned wood exterior and a white wrap around porch. The small building attached to the side is an art studio and a place where I would do all of my hobbies.

About My Dream Room
About My Dream Room
I chose to create a bedroom for my dream room. The interior design style that I chose was contemporary/rustic/bohemian. For the walls, I chose a cream/white distressed brick accent wall with the remaining three walls a muted, a medium toned, turquoise. In my space, there would be a built in loft bed with a large desk area underneath. There would also be a tv underneath with a couch or seating. There would also be a mantle with a fireplace on the brick wall. For the fabrics, it would mostly be cream/white to match the brick wall and some will have different tassels and subtle patterns to match the contemporary/bohemian style.

I was mostly drawn to bridges that had a specific chosen shape that is repeated, with a larger version of the shape in the middle. I also thought that the ones that had supports throughout the bridge would be more effective.

For my shed, I wanted to create small, simple, and personalized structure that served as a mini art studio. I was inspired by the photos below to make it a small and creative space. I incorporated a rug, a large metal workbench, an easel with stool off to the side, and a large standing lamp. I wanted it to be a simple space so that it could be filled with creative projects.

I chose to do my second design because I thought that with the first design, it would be top heavy and flip over. The egg in the design I chose is going to be at the bottom of the upside down pyramid, with a piece of foam holding it in at the top. I also added an additional mini pyramid at the bottom to decrease the impact on the egg from the fall.
