The Depot Project

The Depot was the final project that determined certification into our interior design program. It involved re-purposing a historic landmark into three different spaces, an artist's home, their studio to create artwork and the gallery where their artwork would be displayed. The artist was chosen based on their proximity to our geographical location (they had to be originally from the northwest United States) and they had to communicate somewhat of a historical value of the building we were re-designing. I chose Sammamish, Washington Stained Glass artist Kurt Rodenhiser for my inspiration artist. As I incorporated his inspiration into my design of the space I also surrounded my conceptual design over how the building could be expressed into three different parts, not only spacially but cohesively expressing how the building would be communicated and experienced through the past, present and future times of Pullman, Washington.

For the final presentation I wish that I had my presentation boards more finalized before I had them done. I put as much time and effort that I could and I initially feel very proud and confident in the material that was produced but I always feel like I could have bettered my presentation if I had been given a longer amount of time. I was happy with the over all product.
