Residential Remodel Project
Faculty advisor/course instructor: 640 Residential Interior Design & Architecture Studio
Entry #32
The work presented is from a residential design project that students were presented with to work through specific design constraints and produce a full Construction Document set. Students were challenged to work within the existing footprint. We worked from the Programming & Schematic Design through to the Construction Document phase with another student as our clients so we needed to fulfill their design wishes, satisfy the brief, and also use our design prowess to produce a functional and thoughtful design.
Project Da Silva
Faculty advisor/course instructor: Gus Vouchilas
Entry #14
This rocker's mid-20s edge spills into her home. A record collector with a love for retro, she craved a 70s lounge vibe. We channeled that in a bespoke hobby room for her artistic passions – sewing and painting. Ample storage and natural light create the perfect canvas. Vintage touches like retro sewing machines and cheetah print wallpaper add character. This project celebrates personal expression. By blending 60s/70s nostalgia with modern flair, we made a home that reflects her unique personality and fuels her creativity.

Costa Rica Tiny House
Faculty advisor/course instructor: Gus Vouchilas
Entry #6
This tiny house design project, set in the stunning scenery of Costa Rica, demonstrates the potential of sustainable construction and energy efficiency in small living spaces. The use of concrete as a building material offers the added benefit of thermal mass, helping to keep the interior cool in hot weather and reduce the need for air conditioning. In addition to this, the tiny house incorporates a range of energy-efficient design features to further enhance its sustainability. One of these features is the use of high-performance windows and exterior shading elements, which reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering the building, decreasing heat gain and improving energy efficiency. The addition of cool roofing materials further contributes to the house's energy efficiency, reflecting sunlight and heat away from the building and reducing overall temperatures. Despite its small size, this tiny house also includes a full kitchen, thanks to the clever use of space beneath the staircase. This feature not only maximizes the use of the small space but also incorporates modern amenities such as a stove, oven, and refrigerator. Outdoor living is a crucial aspect of Costa Rican life, and this tiny house design project embraces this by offering ample outdoor space. The ground level includes a full outdoor kitchen and dining area, perfect for entertaining guests and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, while the second level boasts a large wrap-around deck for relaxation and soaking up the sun.
