Executive Lounge- BGC

Executive Lounge- BGC

Hi, friends! It's been a while since I've posted here, but I wanted to share with you a project I did in BGC (Philippines).

This space was really meant to be an executive lounge - a space for meetings, and more like a gathering place for our family. We each have our own office and thought this was a good, central location to work together and meet clients once or twice a week.

2nd FLOOR PLAN

Deck & garden/exterior 


Wanted something very airy, bright and open for our home so we opted for a semi-open plan. Added a breakfast nook that peeked through the kitchen a bit so diners could still interact with whoever occupied the living area. We kept in mind that family would come over most of the time and while we can't have more than 6 in the dining area, we could create a layout that allowed conversation even when people were situated in different parts of the communal areas. 

I created an all-white canvas through walls and flooring since the house isn't too big and white really opens up any space. Black walls by the entrance and the exterior/sidings (not shown) create the perfect contrast. We're not big fans of color so an achromatic scheme through the architectural elements and furniture was a natural choice. Plants and lighting provide the perfect warmth and cozy touch to an otherwise stark space. 

Hope you liked this sneak peek!

One of my electives for my final semester at Pratt was Parametrics. We had to learn to use Grasshopper with Rhino, an amazing and powerful modeling tool used by a lot of architects and engineers. Grasshopper is much like coding and is very complicated. Grasshopper definitions look intimidating, but I was able to grasp some of the basics in one semester. 

Our first project required us to create a grasshopper definition that could create 5 different modules with a few tweaks in the definition. I knew I wanted to create holders for accessories- simply because I wanted to be able to use them after the semester!

I'm planning on creating better versions so I can create and sell them on Shapeways. Every girl needs nice jewelry holder thangs! 

We had another project for the final... Posting that one up next!
