MArKeting Centers | BANNER AND SELECT PAGE FROM IRvINE COMPANY PRESENTATION PACKAGE

description:

Newport Beach client, The Irvine Company Office Properties, was planning to build a marketing center as part of a new building in the Irvine Spectrum Center, CA.

Above represents a large-scale banner (11ft wide by 2ft high) for an Irvine Company client presentation to inform a discussion on Marketing Center Benchmarks.

to the left is a selected page from a presentation package on Marketing Centers created for the Irvine Company. The presentation includes the information in the banner above, formatted using InDesign to fit separate 11 by 17 spreads. I chose this page as an example of a presentation spread as well as a highlight/close-up of the banner above.

enVironMentAl grAphiC | NEWPORT BEACH OFFICE WALL OPTION 1

description:

There is a wall at the top of the main staircase on the second floor of Genslers Newport Beach office (dimensions: 10 high by 8.8 wide).

I was tasked with creating and implementing a new environmental graphic to replace the existing conditions (shown on the following slides). My instruction was simply to find a way to illustrate Genslers attention to and appreciation for detail - the idea being that great design is in the details.

It seemed fitting that the graphic might speak to Genslers reputation as a leader in architecture and design. Through discussions with lead design principal, James Young, it was decided that the design would be inspired by architectural drawings or drafts.

This project involved a substantial amount of self-directed research into various project drawings/graphics and how they might embody this statement. I compiled dozens of personally selected images after going through project archives and architectural drawing sets. After seeking feedback and review from principal designer James Young, I translated two architectural drawings from the Denver International Airport project into options for the wall graphic.

I adapted the original format of the drawing in Illustrator and revised the colors, line weights, and layout in Illustrator to create a design that fit our wall and our office aesthetic ( 10 10 high by 8 8 wide). After a few iterations, the second option was chosen.

I was responsible for seeing the project through to completion, including researching price quotes, setting time lines, and coordinating installation.

The Delaware North Companies (DNC)Headquarters project was a large ongoing effort involving numerous team members across various studios. The following images illustrate images and graphics I contributed to a large Design Brief (approx 150 pages). From start to finish, I helped format, layout, design, proof, print, and package the final Design Briefs for DNC.

Most of the common areas are large conference rooms. Generally, a face to face meeting is with 1 or 2 people.

Fewer and smaller private offices and more small conference rooms/breakout spaces for small meetings with ability to display laptop on screen.

More meeting rooms!

Privacy. We really need more meeting space, but it is unavailable so we have meetings at open desk spaces, which is disruptive to others.

They are always booked. Often when they are booked, there are two people in a large room, or no one there at all.

Strategic Directive Sessions CURRENT WORKPLACE SNAPSHOT EXERCISE 1

GenslerDelaware North Companies | Strategic Directive Session | 04.09.2014

What do you like least about your current workplace?What do you like most about your current workplace?

Lack of privacy. Inability to speak on the phone without being heard and/or overhearing everyone elses conversations. Lack of space to assemble multiple documents. Ergonomically it is very uncomfortable. My computer monitor, keyboard and printer are not properly aligned. Not enough outlets.

The overall hierarchy of the spaces, as it is not focused on job activities but is focused on status.

The collaboration aspect of our workplace has enabled us to become a better team. I also feel more in the loop when I overhear others conversations about certain projects, deadlines, events, etc.

The distraction and noise of co-workers has definitely triggered a decline in productivity. It is very easy to get distracted throughout the day. There is NO privacy and nowhere to go if you need to make or take a personal call.

It would be nice if there were a few quiet-type areas that were more private if you wanted to just get away for a little while during your break. Currently there is no such space. Lobby and

reception poorly reflect the brand.

I like my proximity to a window and the amount of storage space I have.

I love all the daylight that comes into my workspace.

Proximity to director, ability to discuss with teammates, ability to close door for confidential conversations, window for natural lighting.

description:

As part of Longo Toyotas Design Concept Process presentation, several program massing studies were presented along with circulation diagrams.

Working from loose hand-drawn sketches by project designers, I used InDesign to create both the program massing bubbles (top left, top right), as well as the proposed circulation diagrams for the spaces (bottom left, bottom right).

These spreads were selected from a large Design Development Package that I helped create for Air New Zealands Auckland Lounge.

top left: Using InDesign, I colored this floor plan to highlight different user experience zones for Tier 1 lounge space.

top right, Bottom left and Bottom right: These are user experience zone graphics for 3 proposed Lounge Tiers.

I created the bubble diagram spreads in InDesign. I then found or created an appropriate visual graphic symbol for each bubble to accompany the text.

Size and placement of the bubbles helped indicate relevance and usage of different zones per each lounge tier type.

INSIDE OUT OUTSIDE IN

After taking over a previously designed

Gensler building in Irvine, this medical

device company was looking to re-brand

their new home in their own style. The

Gensler design team updated the building

layout and structure to facilitate a more

natural and inspiring work environment.

With well-being of utmost importance,

the inspiration behind this design was to

fuse the indoors and outdoors to create a

workplace that promotes healthy lifestyles.

The front of the building was opened up to

the outdoors. This allowed employees to

enjoy the Southern California atmosphere

with a deck extending over the water at

the front of the building and a central great

garden inside the space bringing the

inside out and bringing the outside in.

The existing warehouse was opened up

to the outdoors to create a new grand

garden area, which is surrounded by

the lower level office space and a new

mezzanine office environment, allowing

views of the outdoors even from within

the interior of the large floorplate and

piercing the space with light. A topography

sprinkled with trees, green walls, and

grass creates intimate meeting areas and

informal work zones right outside of the

office. Interconnecting walkways through

the garden connect each of the different

office departments together, providing a

stress-reduced area for employees to walk

through and enjoy during the workday.
