St. Elmo Hotel- Apartment Design

These are my design posters for a one bedroom apartment in the Palouse called the St Elmo Hotel. I started out designing the kitchen and bathroom of the two bedroom apartment as you can see below. Then moved to the one bedroom apartment. I created everything included in it and made a really detailed model. I made the apartment as open as I could. I started off by having the kitchen open up to the living room. The bedroom and bathroom doors are directly across from each other for a convenient way to enter the bathroom without having to walk through the living room. Through out the whole apartment I used a neutral color scheme with green and brown accents, to bring the whole place together. The apartment has some ADA features which include, a 5ft turning radius in all the rooms, and there is a 3ft distance from the bed to the wall for easy access. I also added a drop down ceiling in the bedroom over the bed with lighting, to add extra light to the room. Some challenges for me was arranging my poster, I did not think the posters are arranged as well as they could be, I spent almost 2 hours to find a layout for them, but I could not come up with them, and now they have a lot of white space and look every plain, even though I put a lot of work into them. My success in this project was the model, I love making models and when it's all done it is very fun to look at. I drew all the walls to the apartment in my model so the viewer can really get an idea of what the apartment actually looks like. The model is a very important element to my design.
