Programs Used: Adobe Creative Suite
Custom Material: Resin, Flowers & Coffee Grinds
Concept: Radiant Soul
After establishing a fascination with the growing city of Brisbane, Australia and learning about its history, I was given the opportunity to conceptually design any space type of my choice that reflected similar Brisbane motifs. In order to understand the eclectic city further, I researched and curated inspiration boards which helped create a general essence to shape my conceptual rooftop bar around. Continuing this theme, I created a custom material out of Resin, flowers and coffee grinds to be used in the space as a wall/floor tile or countertop. The use of bright color and material selections that emit a certain feeling of life, connection and cultural appreciation allows Brisbane's Radiant Soul continues to shine through this space.
CITY & SPACE TYPE RESEARCH
The history of Brisbane, Australia was explored in order to understand the city's cultural background and how this can be reflected in a design. In this case, the design of a rooftop bar.
CULTURAL & ARCHITECTURAL INSPIRATION
Next, inspiration boards were curated in order to visually understand the common themes in the city of Brisbane, bright color, movement, connection and life.
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
A concept statement was created along with imagery to drive the design and establish an overall feel for the space; Radiance, Eclectic Energy and a beautiful essence of life.
MATERIAL SELECTION & COLOR PALETTE
A grouping of bright and transparent materials were selected for different surfaces throughout the space which then determined an overall color palette for other finishes and details.
CUSTOM MATERIAL CREATION
​
A custom material was created with a Resin mold, flowers and coffee grinds reflecting important features of the city; bright color, transparency of relationships and a love for cuisine and culture. The material can be used as tile and a countertop.
