Hand drawn, AutoCAD
Independent Project
This project serves as a case study not only for technical drawings, but to gain a deeper understanding of how important interior details can be. Using Forno Cultura (1056 Queen St W, Toronto, ON) as the site, the project began with sitting and observing the space. High level observations were documented, such as furniture placement, finishes, and programming layout. This phase of the project was documented using hand sketches without the use of a ruler, as an exercise to train our understanding of dimensions and space.
As the project progressed, a more detailed understanding of the space was developed. Attention was paid to how small factors, down to the custom millwork and frameless windows, contribute to the overall feeling of the space. In order to gain a proper understanding of these details, external research on interior construction methods was conducted to develop a set of construction-ready millwork and detail drawings.
Although simple on the surface, this project helps to understand how significant the small details can be. Upon first entering, the design of the cafe appears as a simple, clean space. After careful observation and documentation, other details begin to reveal themselves, showing how the small elements can impact a space. This reinforces the importance of understanding construction as an interior designer and being able to communicate with a construction team to ensure the original concept and vision is always met.
