Harmony House

Project description
Harmony House

This semester in Residential Design II we had the opportunity to register for the Bienenstock Furniture and Interior Design Competition. Our class is completing the Interior Design portion, which is a residential and commercial combined project, and the winner receives a 10,000 dollar scholarship. Harmony House is a Foundation located in Seattle, Washington that houses runaway youth. 

We are required to design two floors of the Harmony House: the first floor is a Sandwich Shop and the Harmony House offices and the second floor is living spaces for the youth. 

There are minimal dimensions and furniture-types/sizes that we are required to follow, which have made this project a little challenging. 

Our instructor had us come up with a design concept to implement in our Harmony House projects. I decided to go with one that, to me, seemed inspiring and encouraging. After doing some research, I discovered that the Primary Colors all of the same meaning of Strength. I decided to use  those colors for my color scheme and also decided to use metamorphoses with butterflies to imply a feeling of change and transformation.
