Dialux model and lighting focus

Using the dialux model of my retail space, I was able to determine how many lights the space would require and at what interval to place the fixtures.

The Receptionist/Checkout counter in the Retail portion of the building features moving, colored light. The GE Immersion color changing LED (typically used for jewelry display cases to provide a bright, uniform light) works on a link system allowing the light fixture to be arranged along a tight curve or awkward angle. It offers the added benefits of long life, advanced thermal management, worry-free maintenance, and reliability. By using an LED fixture, which could be easily arranged in tight spaces, the receptionist desk can be dressed in waves of colored light. These waves of changing color represent the company’s need, ability, and desire to change with needs of their professional market.

The Maxis retail store uses a minimalistic color palette and rectilinear forms for fixture displays, which help to further distinguish the desk from the rest of the space. Inspiration for the desk came from the Maxis logo itself. The sphere becomes a trademark for the company and is the first thing you see when you enter the Louisiana Emerging Technologies Center. Maxis then becomes tied to the programs of the entire building. Since this building is used as a research facility on the cutting edge of science and education, this helps build the image of the company as an advanced technologies enterprise.

Gelato Pazzo Caffe! Great people, delicious food.

Gelato's Pazzo Caffe is located in New Orleans, Louisiana on Oak Street. These are images from a hypothetical school project that I worked on for the restaurant. My challenge was to make the pre-existing custom display cases work for the new location. 8115 OAK STREET, New Orleans, LA 70118-2039 Color is used to define space within the restaurant. Such a large room needed to be broken down into smaller spaces to provide privacy for guests. Bar seating is located at the front window. Bar style tables are located along the wall (right). To the rear of the restaurant there is a canopy area with seating. Traditional tables and booths are located behind the ordering counter. With so many styles of seating and five areas to choose from, guests can decide their level of privacy while dining. It is important to make your space appealing to a diverse crowd. This was a problem with the previous layout. Guests rarely dined in, which means they spend less. If you can...

Ascension Catholic - Pavilion revisited after design completion

As my friends and family know, I am always updating my representational documents. I have completed my new business card design, new resume, and new portfolio design complete with cover page. In other good news, Google finally fixed the blog! I am back to working with Ascension Catholic School. We made the building smaller and did away with the design phases. The parents want something that can be built all at once. We are not going to be able to call it the "New Pavilion Building" anymore. The pavilion stage is history. Originally the design was broken down into 3 phases for budgeting purposes. PHASE ONE: This phase is a metal structure that would provide shelter from rain for sporting events. PHASE TWO: This phase encloses the basketball court, making the facility more professional. PHASE THREE: In this phase an office area is added to the front of the building, and locker rooms are added on the back. This is intended to be...
