Commercial Design: Office Design and Layout

The office design project required me to design and complete an office firm. I had to consider flow and convenience for all workers and clients that entered the firm. I decided to create  an architectural and interior design firm, considering this is my passion. From there i created green design. 

green design is an architectural and interior design firm which specializes in sustainable design. Because of this the office design is made solely of sustainable material. The floor finish is made of bamboo, a fast-growing grass and very renewable and durable. All the office furniture was purchased through GreenQuest, an environmentally responsible cabinet line that allows the flexibility of an array of green features. It is made of 100 percent recycled wood, non-PVC, low-VOC and a water based and low-emitting finish.  Wall treatment is Sherwin- Willams Color Cast Ecotoner, consisting of water-based paint and tinted with zero VOC colorants. (even the packaging is entirely recycled plastic. The office is designed with many large windows to allow for day lighting as well as provide a pleasant work environment. The windows were manufactured by Anderson Windows and comes from their Energy Star line. The windows consist of Low-E glass options to help you control heating and cooling costs in any climate, plus SmartSun glass that meets ENERGY STAR® qualifications in all climate zones. Anderson Energy Star windows have weather resistant construction that seals out drafts. This will save energy and eliminate costs.
