FACS 250 - Interior Design II
Interior Design II provided students with real-world simulations to learn the application of the design process and explore how research impacts the built environment. Overall, these assignments challenges students in utilizing drafting, design concept, and space planning skills all while exercising professionalism throughout.
The Saffer House
Phase I - Mood Board and Concept Statement
This phase is the key inspiration and driving factor of the rest of the process. It truly is the creative focal point where the color palette and aesthetic focuses come to life. This mood board reflects the stylistic emphasis of important locations to the Saffer Family and the concept statement reflects the desire to create a space that meets the needs of the family's lifestyle.

Phase II - Schematic Design Phase
This stage emphasized the importance of flow, continuity, and adjoining relationships between rooms. It also demonstrated the challenge, yet importance, of separating public and private rooms while still having a logical layout.

Phase III - Floor Plan
The priority of this floor plan was maximizing space by minimizing hallways and dead spots. The family required 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at a minimum with the primary meeting ADA regulations, as this is a settling down home. When it comes to the family's lifestyle, they love to entertain! So an open concept with the public spaces meets their needs well.

Phase IV - 3D Model
This phase brought the ideas of scale and proportion to life. It gave confirmation on what works and what doesn't with the floor plan. My favorite part of the layout is the large space dedicated to hospitality and the use of hallways.

Phase V - Group Fabric Project and Material Focus
The process for creating this fabric pattern involved focussing on important locations to the Saffers for a truly unique outcome. The base in the Blue Ridge Mountains that surround Lynchburg, their new home. The application is pillows or bedding in the bedrooms with the material being cotton. Cotton is durable, breathable, and natural, amazing for a forever home.

Phase VI - FF&E
This phase utilized the design principle of unity and the elements of color, value, and texture. The FF&E selection brought the aesthetic of the space and made it practical with material selection that will last for such an active family.

Final Phase - Design Statement and House Renders
The final creative step for the Saffer proposal was to digitally create the space. The features I want to highlight are the emphasis on natural light, the open space for entertaining, the hammock feature in the bay window, and the breakfast corner of the kitchen space for the kids to have room to do their homework. Overall, the layout and style reflect the wants and needs of the Saffer family.
