It's My Last Undergrad Interior Design Project....

Where has time gone? I am one month away from graduation and I can't believe this is my last interior design project of my undergraduate career. The project consists of designing the gift shop of the new Sioux City Museum in Sioux City, Iowa. The Monday after spring break we took a field trip out to view the site and meet with the clients. If they like one of our designs, they're going to use it which is cool. Here's some images of the site under construction :

I really like the architectural details on the front of the building and wanted to use that as inspiration for the gift shop space. I also found some inspiration thanks to one of my classmates that is an example of what I was thinking (except for less organic).

This is the Stuart Weitzman shoe store designed by Fabio Novembre and I think it is absolutely amazing! Needless to say, however, mine will be a toned down version of this.

I will leave this entry with a great interior design quote:
"Never look back, except for an occasional glance, look ahead and plan for the future. Success is not built on past laurels, but rather on a continuous activity. Keep busy searching out new ideas and, experimentally, keep ahead of the times, or at least up with them." -Dorothy Draper
