Why?

I use to Flit
I use to Flutter
I use to Fly.

Now I Sit,
Now I Wonder,
Now I ask Why,

Why can't I get away from you?
Why can't I see past this?
Why do you feel like a must?

There are others that could replace you
They want to be with me too
Why do they feel like a bust?

How do I tell you,
When I know your not ready?
(here it goes)
Please try to keep steady,
I Love You
that's why.

Hipster Haven's Aspiring Lofts

These are the materials used in this room. I chose a neutral paint color so that the owners could eaisly paint the walls whatever shade they wanted, and there are two walls made of brick, the floor is acacia wood flooring it is located in the loft and on the bottom floor. There is the concrete that makes the stairs and is also used as the countertops in the kitchen.




This is the ceiling plan. In it you can see all of the sky lights. There are four long skylights in the living room area, and there is one directly above the staircase, then there is another one below it that is above the loft where you would come of the stairs at, the final one is in the bathroom area.


In this picture you can see the loft area. the red object is the bed with its two small side tables. The closet comes into the space creating the bedroom space with out closing it off completely. The bathroom area which is also in the loft space is the only room completely closed off because it is the room that requires the most privacy. The loft is put in between the girders and is also lower down . Which means they should be dotted in this drawing but they are not an I apologize for that.

This is the first floor and you can see the stairs which also are not drafted correctly and again I apologize I am still learning. But you are meant to go up the stairs and then you come to a landing you turn and finish going up them. They other area drawn in is the kitchen area. You can see the cabinets and the island. The kitchen area and the stair area are the only ones that I wanted to really designate a space to. I believe that when the person or couple move into this apartment they will want to be able to make it a home to themselves and that means being able to personalize it as much as possible. So instead of telling them what space was to be used for what I chose to leave it completely open to whatever they wanted to do to it.

This is the north wall elevation the brick wall is the one that intrudes into the space and on the opposite wall there is also brick and that is where the staircase is located.

This is the east wall elevation where you can see the only window in the apartment. It is the only wall that opens out to nature so it is the only wall that windows could be put on to.
this is an elevation of the front and side of the staircase. The stairs are made of concrete and they would be a floating staircase. I'm not exactly sure how they would be constructed but I would think that steel reber would go through the concrete unseen and would come into the wall where there would be someway of reinforcing it and keeping it strong. If this isn't able to work that way the I would picture wires coming down form the girder above and going into the railing to suport it. The railing by the way is part of each individualy stair ant they are not conected but there are no gaps between them either. The landing and the step below it continue to the oposite wall. Thought the step bellow the landing still has a rail up. This would be able to create some built in storage and I could see whoever moved in being able to put a small washer and dryer unit underneath.
In this image you can see the bedroom area. This is an above shot, and not the best image but you can see the way that the railing comes up to meet the girders and you can also see the way that the closet is coming out into the bedroom area to kind of close it off.
This in a image of the stairs. I wanted you to be able to see the way the concrete comes up to create the railing and also to see the two pieces come out to creat the shelving space. Where is I said before you could place a washer or dryer.This is the kitchen space where you can see the metal ikea cabinites and the island the countertops are made of polished concrete. It is what you would see once you finished coming down the stairs, and it is the only designated space on the bottom floor.

Adopt A Pet -WPA

A WPA is a way to get information out about issues that people are facing. In makes the world more aware but not in the same way that a commercials or printed fliers would. Its an art and it makes you stop and look at it. The I WANT YOU posters could even be categorized as a WPA, it got peoples attention and people still look at it today and now exactly what it means. My WPA is an issue on war but one on animal control and the fact that there are milions of animals sitting in dog pounds hoping to be adopted that will probably get put down in the end.

3D Max

Industrial Melancholy

this was the first image that i did and i really liked it and thought it looked good but then i realized that it was in the wrong size.:(
so after figuring out the right size using the same pictures from the image above this is what i came up with. lily likes this one better but im not so sure.
this was my second image and the one that i struggled with the most. i struggled because it had a lot of like neon pink in the building which was the farthest thing form what i was going for and it took me a while to come up with a good way to get the color out.
this was the third image i came up with and its actually one of my favorites so im really excited. i tried to take out the sky on one of the pictures (the one with the building)but once i removed it i really missed it so i found a way to blend the two skies together and im really satisfied with the outcome.
