Assigned two very different historic time periods, design a home for a couple with a list of unique requirements. Make sure to apply the historic styles throughout your design.

For my design I wanted to take an old Gothic style church and make it something of a modern Bauhaus space for my clients. For this project I was only given one hundred square feet to work with, so I opted for a studio home space with a raised platform for the bedroom area. One great feature of Bauhaus design is very light & sleek design. So, I imagine my space in the gothic style but with a bright face-lift.

Mood board created using Adobe Illustrator, shows a brief description of both selected time periods as well as a brief client description. Also included is a design sketch for the renovated church design.

Floorplan of renovated church originally hand drawn but re-created in AutoCAD, includes kitchen space, living space, and a raised bedroom space. It also includes a bathroom, as well as a small office and a laundry room.

Ceiling plan originally hand drawn but re-created in AutoCAD, shows the arched vaulting as well as the original wooden beams that run from one side to the other. The new design would have the vaulting in a stark white to emphasize the Bauhaus design aesthetic.

Interior front and back elevations originally hand drawn but re-created in AutoCAD, shows the main feature pointed arches.

Interior side elevations originally hand drawn but re-created in AutoCAD, shows the windows lining the walls down the church, probably includes original stained-glass windows.

Final 1/4" = 1' model made of white foam core, made in one week. 

Model layout consisting of a kitchen, living space, bedroom space, office space, bathroom, and a laundry.

Final model with detachable roof taken off showing an axon view of both.
