Kitchen Sketch Model

This paster-board model is in 1/4 inch scale, and is to give the client a rough volumetric view of the planned kitchen. This photo shows off the ceiling plan that is hard to convey in sketches. The soffits and curved beams can be better understood from this view. Also the island in the middle of the kitchen can be seen through the beams in this photo. Building a model gives you the designer a chance to see how successful the final volume of space will be.

Kitchen Design (Gregory Home)

Designing a Kitchen is one of the most involved projects in designing a home. This room is the modern day hub of a home. Besides it's new role as a social hub the kitchen must be well planned space that allows for preparation and clean up of meals, and provide many kinds of storage. This kitchen design is special and took extra thought since it was for a client in a wheel chair and her family.

These thumbnails are the fist step in exploring the plan of the kitchen, details, materials, lighting, and application of the concept. Choosing materials and finalizing the plan came next with perspective drawings of the space. A lot of planning went into the height and accessibility of every fixture and appliance in the room, as well as the floor space for a wheel chain within the kitchen.

The parti sketch, concept statement, plans, elevation, and perspectives are sketched above with room in the center to lay out materials for a preliminary presentation to the client.

This design is not final and could be changed after talking with the client to fit needs and their aesthetics better.
