BRANDING A RETAIL SPACE

BRANDING A RETAIL SPACE PAGES 1-12RETAIL

DESCRIPTION

MEDIA USED

The goal of this project was to design a flagship retail store for the Freitag brand in downtown Los Angeles. Working with Callison we learned a new method for defining a brand by completing research on the brand, the consumer who uses the brand and on the product that the brand sells. Once this process was completed, a visual position was determined that best represented the research that was done and would serve as an appropriate aesthetic to base the design of the store on. Finally, the design of the store took place to create a space that was not only a retail destination, but also an experience that consumers would not forget.

DEFINING A RETAIL SPACE3

GENDER: Men and women

AGE: The target age is a wide range from the early twenties all the way up to mid forties.

ACTIVITIES THEY ENJOY DOING: Bike riding, hiking, exploring the city, reading

PERSONALITY ATTRIBUTES: Outdoorsy, creative, outgoing, loves to travel, adventurous, environmentally conscious, defined personal style, confident, self-assured, determined, successful, modern, artistic, scholarly

SIMILAR PLACES THEY GO: Coffee shops, REI, art galleries, Dockers, Urban Outfitters, Zara, Patagonia, Ace Hotel

The Freitag consumer enjoys spending the majority of their time outdoors or exploring their creative outlet. This person cares about the environment and is aware of how their choices in all aspects of life will effect the world.

MISSION: Recontextualization

HOW IT STARTED: Recognized their own personal need for a heavy-duty and water-repellent bag to carry their designs on their bikes.

FOUNDERS: Markus & Daniel Freitag

VALUES: Unique, durable, stylish, sustainable, local materials, functional, strong, contemporary, utilitarian, biodegradable, comfortable, simple, creative, travel

The Freitag brothers began their brand by creating bags that are created from recycled truck tarps, bike tubes and seat belts. This line now also includes small accessories such as I-pad cases and I-phone cases. They then expanded their company and now make clothes that is made of completely decomposable fabric.

The goal of the Freitag brand was to create a bag that was functional and could be used in all climates as well as be extremely durable. The materials sourced to create this product are sustainable as they are made of entirely recycled or decomposable materials. Finally, they are stylish and make a unique impact.

VISUAL POSITION: THE URBAN COFFEE SHOP

Through the redefinition of Freitag the brand, and even further research of the brand’s history and values, the urban coffee shop as a visual position fit with the new vision of the brand. The urban coffee shop is a warm and comfortable environment while still being industrial and cool just as the Freitag brand is. It is a place where one-of-a-kind artwork can be displayed which would take the form of the bags in the Freitag store. It appeals to the urban commuter who is always on the go, but needs a third place to go and unwind. The urban coffee shop has an effortless aesthetic created through simple and eco-friendly design which will attract the typical Freitag consumer.

SMALL OFFICE DESIGN

DESCRIPTION

MEDIA USED

The goal of this project was to design an open office space for 8 to 10 people. I wanted to create a work environment that would inspire collaboration while still allowing employees their own individual work spaces. By using natural and textured materials such as wood, concrete and glass throughout the space it creates a clean and visually interesting aesthetic to inspire creative and effective work.

DESCRIPTION

MEDIA USED

This project was done in collaboration with Rural Communities Design Initiative (RCDI) and the town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho. A visit was made to the town to discuss with members of the community the design of their new library and community center. Within our class we worked in teams as well as collaborating with Landscape Architects and also Architects. We worked as a group to program the new facility and also came up with a preliminary design to present to the town. Individually, I continued research on this project and discovered how a library in a rural community could be transformed into an ideal “third place.”

COMMUNITY WORKSHOP

PHOTOGRAPHS FROM WORKSHOP

The process of working directly with the community of Bonners Ferry through RCDI, allowed us to gain a greater understanding of what they envisioned their new space to look like and how they wanted it to function. This step in the design process allows designers to hear first hand what the community would actually like to see accomplished, not just what the designer thinks they would want. The community wanted to see their new library space as more of a community center and a space that would have the capacity to grow and expand throughout time; “A library for the future.”

When meeting with the various community members, it was obvious that they all had different opinions on the new space, so the challenge was to design a space that would accommodate all these needs as best as was possible. Every age group who would be using the new library was accounted for at the meeting, so every possible need could be addressed.

The challenge in designing this new space was to create separate spaces to meet the needs of all the various community members, but without sacrificing function and privacy. The incorporation of all the various spaces would allow for every member of the community to come and find their own “third place.”

OLD BONNERS FERRY MILL

The exterior form of the Old Bonners Ferry Mill is what the exterior building design was based on, to represent the history of the town.

The proposed space reflects the wants and needs of the Bonners Ferry community. The new structure of the building will include three floors featuring the community’s new Fabrication Lab, maker space, University of Idaho Business Extension, NIC, and enlarged library. The goal of the new space was to create an open floor plan in which individuals could move from space to space, freely exploring new educational opportunities while continuing their own. The site was designed with the intentions of being one large “shared space” where learning, community collaboration,and creativity takes place.

THE NEW RURAL LIBRARY

Creating a Third PlaceIn order for a place to be a “third place” it needs to appeal to a person’s senses and give them a feeling of comfort. People spend a majority of their time either at home, at work or at school, so the third place should be a separate place that appeals to a person’s needs and fills a void that their other two main places may not fulfill. When someone is in the comfort of their own home, there are things that make them feel comfortable. The goal of a third place is to create a place like this that will appeal to a vast majority of people and what makes them feel comfortable.

A third place usually includes some of the following elements; daylight, artificial light, music, comfortable seating, tables, access to electricity, and food and drink. Not all of these elements are essential for all people in their third place, but that’s the challenge in designing a new building, to accommodate for all different needs. The “new library” is a place that is becoming a third place.

The new library is no longer a place that people come to pick up books, magazines and movies, but is now a place within a community for people to gather or somewhere to escape from work or home life. In the “new library” the variety of spaces gives patrons of the space an opportunity to find where they feel comfortable and make a place that is their own “third place.”

Community WorkshopThe process of working directly with the community of Bonners Ferry through RCDI, allowed us to gain a greater understanding of what they envisioned their new space to look like and how they wanted it to function. This step in the design process allows designers to hear first hand what the community would actually like to see accomplished, not just what the designer thinks they would want. The community wanted to see their new library space as more of a community center and a space that would have the capacity to grow and expand throughout time; “A library for the future.”

When meeting with the various community members, it was obvious that they all had different opinions on the new space, so the challenge was to design a space that would accommodate all these needs as best as was possible. Every age group who would be using the new library was accounted for at the meeting, so every possible need could be addressed.

The challenge in designing this new space was to create separate spaces to meet the needs of all the various community members, but without sacrificing function and privacy. The incorporation of all the various spaces would allow for every member of the community to come and find their own “third place.”

BackgroundThe role of the new library is to supply resources in a variety of forms to members of the community that they may not be able to get elsewhere. This is especially important in rural areas where resources are limited. There are opportunities for exploring new technologies, learning new life skills such as cooking and gardening, and the capability to accommodate for all other creative and educational outlets. In the fall of 2013 students in interior design, landscape architecture, architecture and construction management began working on a project with a rural community in the Pacific Northwest (population 2,600) to facilitate and collaborate on the preliminary phases of designing a new library to better fit their needs and to grow with them into the future.

Working with RCDI, a group of design students worked directly with members of Boundary County to help them determine their needs for their new library. After visiting their current library facility, the students determined what aspects of the space were functional, what spaces needed change and what additional spaces needed to be added. After the visit, the students worked in groups to organize the data gathered from the community visit, and began working on preliminary designs to accommodate for the community. The community emphasized the importance of maintaining the history of the town in the new design of the library both inside and out, while not compromising the function of the library.

GoalThe role of the public library in a rural community is changing to accommodate for the shift towards a more digital based society. This project investigated the role of a library in a small town, the perception of the community and how design of the built environment could accommodate new roles and community ideas.

ResearchIn looking at examples of new libraries that have been built, not just in rural communities, the basic need for a more public and versatile space was the common factor in all of them. One example is the Sammamish Public Library, which was completed in 2010. This library features not only sufficient space for stacks, but also computer workstations, quiet study rooms, study tables, large windows that allow for natural light, a kid’s area, a teen area and food and drink. All of these elements make it a place that people can come to and create their own personal “third place.” Other libraries, such as the Chicago Public Library and the San Diego Central Public Library, have an even larger variety of spaces to offer to visitors. A new trend that is becoming popular in library spaces is the addition of something that’s called a “Fab Lab” or a “Maker Space.” The Chicago and San Diego library are two examples of libraries that have incorporated this type of space into their facilities. The purpose of a “Fab Lab” or a “Maker Space” is to allow people of any age to come into a space and let their imagination and creativity to flow. This space can house anything from shop tools and materials, to basic arts and crafts supplies and 3D printers.

Even though the rural community of Bonners Ferry is small, that does not mean that they should not have access to a space such as this. In the plan for the new Boundary County Library they want to include a Fab Lab, along with a commercial kitchen to teach cooking classes, educational classrooms, a coffee shop, school classrooms and several other versatile spaces that will help to educate the members of their community and provide a space that will grow with them into the future.

This image shows the students interacting with the Bonners Ferry community members in the preiminary meeting with the community members who were involved with this project. The students came prepared with questions to get a better understanding of hwo the community wanted to see their new library space utilized.

This sketch is of a potential idea for a study/stacks area in the new Boundary County Library. This type of area would be ideal for the new library because it offers a variety of seating both individual and in groups, and also has windows to allow natural daylight in to the space to make patrons feel more comfortable.

This sketch shows what the new children’s area could look like in the new Boundary County Library. By creating a completely separate children’s area it not only allows the kids to have their own “third place,” but it allows the older patrons to enjoy the library separate from the children and gives parent’s the ability to leave their children in a safe place.

This is the group of Interior Designers, Architects, Landscape Architects, faculty advisors, and community members that collaborated to work on the Boundary County preliminary library plans. This photo was taken outside the current location of the Northern Idaho College in Bonners Ferry that will be now be incorporated into the new library building.

These two images show the collaboration that happened at the community workshop between the students and faculty advisors, and the community members.

This image is the result of working with a group of interior designers, landscape architects, and architects to create a building that met the aesthetic and spacial needs of the community members of Bonners Ferry. The design of this library is not only representative of what the modern library is beginning to shape into, but more specifically what the community of Bonners Ferry envisions for their community to meet their unique needs.

ResultsThe results from this project show a major shift in how libraries in rural, and in all communities are changing to be more accommodating for changes in technology and people’s needs. There is a need to create a place outside of home and work or school, for people to escape to and create a “third place,” and the library is proving to be an ideal place for this to be located. The addition of more creative and collaborative spaces within the library allows people of all age groups and skill sets to use the space in a way that is advantageous for them. By creating a variety of different environments within the same building it ensures that everyone’s individual needs can be met in some area of the new space. In a rural community a library that provides more than just stacks of books is especially necessary, as there tends to be less resources in this type of community. By designing a building large enough to incorporate all these various educational and creative resources, it will create a place in the community that people can congregate and that people will want to come to.

Currently, after communication back and forth between the design team working on this project and Boundary County community members, a preliminary drawing was decided upon and the community will decide if they want to continue forward with this project into the next stage. By providing preliminary designs and ideas, it will allow the rest of the community to better visualize what this space could be and how it will benefit their community.

MethodsThe students facilitated a participatory design workshop with the community to uncover the new understanding of a library for their rural town. Students were able to interact with community members. This interaction made it easier to acquire an understanding of the community needs. Interviews were also conducted with community members to determine what features they would like to see in the new building. Students observed and documented the downtown and surrounding areas.

Further research was done to support the findings from the community visit. Case studies were developed on how other libraries around the world are evolving in other communities, and demonstrated that libraries are accommodating for growing technology as well as becoming centers for community activity. In this rural community it means a space that can accommodate their current needs, as well as their needs as they change into the future. It should be the center for community activity, as well as a place for new educational and creative explorations for all ages.

This is an image of the Fab Lab at the Chicago Public Library. It’s a space that is utilized by both adults and children as seen in this image.

ABSTRACT FOR FURTHER RESEARCH

GOAL: The goal of this project is to research how the role of the library in the community is changing to accommodate for the shift towards a more digital based society.

BACKGROUND: In the fall 2013 semester a group of interior designers began working on a project with Bonners Ferry to help them with the preliminary phases of designing a new library to better fit their community using a participatory design process. Interviews were conducted with community members to determine what changes they would like to see in the new building, as well as research was done to see how other libraries are evolving in other communities.

METHODS: By using a participatory design strategy and being involved with the community who will be benefiting from these designs, it is much easier to get a better understanding of their needs. After meeting with the community further research was done to help support the findings from the visit with Bonners Ferry community members. The library is becoming a place where people no longer just go to check out books, but is a place that, if designed correctly, people go to for extended amounts of time to study, meet with people, and explore new technologies.

MEDIA USED

This project was done in collaboration with Rural Communities Design Initiative (RCDI) to help the rural town of LaCrosse, WA develop design ideas for existing rock houses in their town. A community workshop was held with Lacrosse Community Pride and participating community members to hear their opinions on the future of the houses. The challenge with this project was determining a function for the houses that would be the most useful as well as economic choice for this small town of about 300 people. Transforming the houses into a bed and breakfast was a good option for the town as it would help to draw people into the town that may not normally visit.

PURPOSE: LaCrosse, WA is a small town so it was important to choose a design direction that would most benefit the community members as well as boost their economy. The goal with meeting with them was to gain the best understanding of the town’s needs as a whole but also what the community felt the town was missing. From this, the idea came of creating a bed and breakfast.

DESCRIPTION The goal of this project was to transform what is currently a dark, unwelcoming and unusable space into a multipurpose, inviting and useful space for university employees working in the I.T. building, as well as attract outside employees and students. With absolutely no natural light coming into the space, the challenge was coming up with the best way to utilize artificial light within the space. The concept revolved around the idea of creating a third place outside of the workplace and home. A place that people could come to relax, commune with others, get additional work done, and have access to food and beverage. There are places for people to sit independently, and also in larger or smaller groups, therefore catering to all types of people who may use the space.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

I always fantasized about a career as an interior designer and since completion of my Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design that dream can become a reality.

My experience at Washington State University has provided me with great knowledge of the mechanics of interior design and it has also provided me with insight about myself and how I want to play a role in the interior design profession. Initially, I was drawn to residential design and I imagined myself designing and decorating big, beautiful homes. However, the extensive commercial projects we explored in the classroom have made me very passionate about commercial design. I am particularly interested in office design and space utilization. I did not understand how interesting and challenging this aspect of design could be until I started exploring how much research and thought had to be put into even simple design choices. I hope to further enhance my passion for office and space design in my career as an interior designer.
