Spring Semester Senior Year, 2012-2013, Office Space Design.

Little Sprouts Corporate Headquarters Design

This was our first self guided project. Our objective was to create a space for a medium sized non-profit corporation. We were given the location and space; a high-rise in a down town location with a view of the city and the local river. My design was for a pediatric healthcare organization that I invented called Little Sprouts. The design concept was to create an functional work space that still captured the whims from the children they are working for.

Below are a few selective images that give an understanding of the project as a whole.
