Landor Office Design Project: Process Work

Design Process

Beginning the space planning process took a lot of thought and precision. 
It was easiest for me to look through the program and write down certain things that each office needed, such as who needed space near a source of natural light,
and which offices needed to be next to one another.  Bubble diagrams were helpful during
this process because they are very straight forward and an easy thing to look back at
if I ever needed to make sure I was designating the correct amount of space
to a specific Landor worker.

Inspiration



The models that I made at the beginning of this process inspired me in the theme of my wellness center.  The straight, leaning lines reminded me of bamboo.  Since my office is located in New York City, and my sister city that I was assigned was Tokyo, I thought the bamboo fit quite well in my project.


I found a few pictures of Asian Interiors and Asian Spa interiors for inspiration for how I would go about designing my wellness space.  I found that neutral colors and earth tones would be the color palette with very simple furniture.
