Emma ChickenINTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO

I am a recent graduate of the Applied Interior Design Diploma at Unitec. My main passions lie in art and design, namely with an interest in interiors and graphics. I appreciate drawing tone, textures and pattern together to create beautiful visual outcomes and pride myself on the detail I put into each work I create.

KeramikaDESIGNER CERAMIC & GLASSWARE STORE

The Brief: Hurstmere Road in Takapuna is an up-and-coming area on the North Shore just a minute’s walk away from the beach. Recent hospitality and retail additions like Mexico restaurant, Zomer beachside cafe and Lululemon activewear have boosted popularity and created a social beachside hub.

I was required to invent my own retail store to add something new and exciting to the area.

The Outcome: Drawing upon Takapuna’s bustling beach location and natural surroundings I have aimed to design a retail environment which reflects the serene nature of the area. Light wood textures and soft, pastel hues mirror the sandy beach shore just a stone’s throw away while complementing the delicate pieces on show.

Keramika - drawing from the Greek work ‘keramikos’ for ceramics - offers high-end designer ceramic and glassware showpieces and everyday homewares while offering an interactive ‘Paint Your Own’ workshop, giving customers the chance to design and paint their own pieces to display in their own home, or to offer as a unique and original gift.

Office Project

The Brief: Biz Dojo is a client company located across central Auckland managing shared and innovative spaces, offer coaching for coworking spaces, and host and run partnered acceleration and activation programs. GridAKL, powered by Biz Dojo, is the coworking ‘tech ecosystem’ in Auckland city’s Wynyard Quarter. As a temporary startup space until 2016, GridAKL required a re-vamp of their exitsting office, taking into consideration the need for flexible workspaces catered to incoming small startup businesses of 3 or more. Their ‘accelerate’ office downstairs on 132 Halsey Street will accomodate occupants of up to 20 persons, in small-scale companies needing a moveable setup to adhere to their flexible and collaborative approach to to working.

The Outcome: I’ve drawn from the Auckland rail line as the “heart of the city”, connecting areas across the Auckland region through checkpoints translating to collaborative stations in the office, encouraging shared creativity, ideas and relationships in a team environment. The floor plan is based around a flexible workplace with furniture that moves with each respective company’s needs. As occupiers of an open-plan working environment, employees are encouraged to connect with each other amongst their own teams and across others.

As part of the brief, we were required to design and document our own cabinetry piece to suit to the GridAKL co-working environment, which would act as a

multi-functional and flexible furniture item.

I came up with a moveable room divider, seat and storage unit for creating adaptable furniture layouts when requiring a quick and easy brainstorming or meeting space. The

divider incorporates removeable planters for improved air quality, 2 wood pallet-look drawers, open shelving. and a custom-upholstered cushion seat for comfort.

One floor plan, three ways

The Brief: Based on the existing floor plan of a small 3 bedroom home, I was given 3 vastly different briefs for 3 hypothetical groups of tenants to inhabit the space. I was required to research mood imagery and formulate a rendered floor pan with matierality to suit each of the tenants’ individual lifestyles and design preferences.

Brief 2 | Sunny Suburban Mexicana Brief 3 | Home of the Future

Titirangi Retreat34

Brief 1: Tim and Joanne are a married couple in their fifties with a small nestled amongst Titirangi forestry, with a beautiful view overlooking the native bush and surrounding ocean. Joanne’s retired mother Nancy also shares a home with the couple and the three love to spend the summer months out on their deck soaking up the sun and enjoying the native scenery around over a glass of wine.

Tim and Joanne would love a home that reflects their relaxed surroundings in terms of its design. Joanne is also an appreciator of Japanese culture sytlistically, and would love to display their ornamental finds and artworks form their previous trips to Japan. Tim restores old Scandinavian furniture as a profession and some of his beautiful pieces feature throughout their home. Japanese culture is also prevalent through Nancy’s favourite hobbie of ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, and twice a week she will teach classes with her friends in her outdoor garden shed. Her arrangements too can be found displayed throughout their home.

I aimed to provide Tim, Joanne and Nancy with a calming nature-inspired scheme drawing upon their surrounding outdoor environment, while incoporating their appreciation for Japanese and Scandinavian infuences. I chose an earthy and rather soft palette to create a serene and calm setting.

Brief 2: Bubbly young couple James and Valeria recently moved to New Zealand with their twin 4-year old daughters after living in Valeria’s home country of Mexico, where the couple first met while James was travelling South America some years ago. Now, they’re interested in settling down in their cosy Grey Lynn villa where the girls can run around in their generous backyard and practice their ballet at home in their free time.

The pair also spent time travelling other areas of South America and Europe and share a love for colour and interiors with character, drawing some of their influence from architects like Luis Barragan. Along the way they have collected a few showpiece items for their home like a gorgeous Turkish rug and a unique rustic Mexican dining table with other small ornaments they love to display.

As a friendly and outgoing couple they both enjoy entertaining friends and family on weekends out their outdoor patio with wood-fired pizza oven. Valeria loves to cook delicious Mexican dishes full of colour and loves the idea of an outdoor vege garden.

In my rendered floor plan I’ve attempted to communicate a bright and fun home with lots of character,

based around family and entertainment. I’ve invcorporated an outdoor patio area with a small deck area off

the office with access to the backyard to encourage indoor/outdoor living and easy circulation.

Home of the Future

Brief 3: Bonnie and Mark are a mid-20’s couple with a love for all things science fiction. The two share an office from home; Bonnie as a Graphic Designer and Mark as the owner of a theatre company. Both are avid ap-preciators of science fiction movies abd boradway musicals, and would love to incorporate a home theatre system into their design to accompany their evergrowing collection. As well as being collectors of films, Bonnie and Mark also have a large art collection, including replica Warhol prints which they would love to have on display.

Their design style follows a futuristic aesthetic with streamlined reflective surfaces, curved furniture and a mostly monochromatic palette., drawing influence from renowned architect Zaha Hadid.

120 Paratai Drive | Residential Project

The Brief My class was a part of a semester long residential project with our client in Paratai Drive, Orakei in Auckland. The project inclduded an overall rendered floor plan scheme, as well a larger focus on several rooms including included matierals boards and documented schedules which were then proposed to our client.

Our clients had a traditional style but wanted something more modern with warm pops of colour, that

considered her lifestyle of a family of four with two young children, and met her requirements of being

functionally and visually pleasurable.
