These are some of the final presentation boards used for my Depot design. As described previously, the point of this project was to adaptively reuse the Pufferbelly Depot in Downtown Pullman from the old railroad station and turn it into an art hotel style bed and breakfast. Throughout the process I used an inspiration photo from the depot, created a parti, a concept model and textile, all of which influenced the design. The goal of the design was to revolve around a central point and all be easily accessed from that specific point, the lobby. The lobby is centrally located within the public space, and has a curved wall behind the desk to emphasize the circular pattern I tried to create.
I think this was a successful design, however if I could do it over I would focus more of the small details. For instance, I would have put more detail into my furniture floor plan, presenting information like this successfully is crucial to the client satisfaction, so adding more detail would have been useful. Also, I have strong rendering skills, but I feel that I could have had stronger renderings and I wish I would have spent more time perfecting them, because again perspectives are extremely important when presenting to a client.
