2021 Spring – Senior Living Condo

This year the senior living condo project has been shifted to the Spring semester.  The third year students are tasked with creating a hypothetical new-build condo unit and building in Greenville, incorporating features that will allow seniors to age in place.  One student explores the design for a Ronald McDonald House, also incorporating Universal Design accessibility principles.

Portfolio 1 sets up the program that will structure the design of this space, with the developer of the senior living community as client.

Portfolio 2 explores design solutions to present to the client developer, which would ultimately determine the layout and look of the model unit for the community.

Portfolio 3 shifts the client and adapts the program: a Gay couple from Pittsburgh want to move into the community, and want to incorporate the decorative arts into their unit.

2020 Spring – Co-Working Office Space

This Spring, the 3202 design studio returns to the design of a co-working space.  The site is the Edgeworth Building, located on Tobacco Row overlooking the James River in Richmond Virginia.  Pirate Sarah Hunt Clair, currently designing for HKS in one of the office suites inside Edgeworth, shared insights with the students regarding context as well as pointers on office design.

The students’ first portfolio encompasses programming: research into various aspects of the project, preparation of a program document, and preliminary adjacency studies.

Portfolio 2 follows the schematic design phase, with sketches that look at solving multiple design problems, and a lighting study model.

And Portfolio 3 documents the final design of the space.  Students were working under the added pressure of sheltering at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.  This meant dealing with remote communication and figuring out software glitches on their own.  Kudos to them for their resilience!

2019 Spring – Retail Boutiques

For this project the interior design students worked with merchandising students, who created branding for a hypothetical retail client.  The ID students then used the branding imagery to design boutiques in Uptown Greenville, in existing storefronts at the corner of 5th and Cotanche Streets.

Because Asians are the third largest ethnic group in Pitt County, the ID students also had to consider cross-cultural cues to attract hypothetical Chinese clients to their boutiques.  In their Revit-generated walkthroughs of their spaces, the students both looked at the flow of the spaces and considered what elements might feel familiar enough to attract these Chinese-Americans into their boutique.

2019 Spring – Retail Pop Ups

This Spring our interior design students return once again to retail design, beginning with pop up venues.  Working in teams of three, they created pop up spaces based upon a specific word prompt: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Entertainment, Wellness, Energy, Vehicle, or Wild Card.  Each team repurposed eastern North Carolina flue-cured tobacco barns for their pop ups, and located them in uptown or downtown Greenville.
