Smashbox cosmetics is branching out to Huntington Beach, CA to connect with a new clientele. The Smashbox brand is known for its photo finish beauty products that aim for perfection. Keeping their identity intact, this expansion aims to adapt a more sustainable and green culture throughout the company. Smashbox has a raw and edgy image, and we aim to form a balance between the contrast of earthy and urban. Starting from the new location, to the entire development and production process. The transition will capture the balance between the contrasts to make a positive impact for the future of the beauty industry.

Technology in Nature
My client Jazmine Real is a very organized and clean person, her home will represent her in every way. Jazmine is striving to become an electrical technology engineer, her career choice mirrors her sense of style.. Everything in her life surrounds the idea of being symmetrical and simple. As someone who loves being surrounded by nature and enjoying scenic views and the fresh breezes, locating her home in Ontario, Canada is the ideal area. While having the best of both worlds, her home will be clean and organized but located in the chaos of nature with all of its organic and natural elements. This home will be a reflection of Jazmine in every form and it will portray the essence of her two loves, technology and nature. This will be a technologically based home in the heart of nature.

Like a bicycle wheel, restaurants require many parts to successfully operate. The kitchen acts as the ‘hub’ of a restaurant, the ‘rim’ represents the building structure; while the ‘tire’ represents furnishings and decor, the ‘spokes’ demonstrate circulation (with the pedals acting as the workers).
The Seasons 360 Bistro will encompass the simplicity, sustainability, convenience, and circulation through a - farm to table - approach. The rustic, hand-crafted aesthetic will utilize minimal decoration, ample greenery and a variety of textures including wood, concrete, metal, and rope; to encompass the - back-to-basics - vibe of the restaurant. The space plan will offer an effortless and efficient circulation path, allowing diners and workers to rotate naturally through the space, mimicking the seasonal rotating menu.

The Nature of Nurturing
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders have uniquely
challenging struggles, which it difficult to learn the basic
developmental skills needed to lead a productive and ordinary
life. Nature has an effortless process of creating harmony in its
environment. Through the use of this natural process we will
mimic the sizes, colors, proportion, and shapes found throughout
nature. In order for this institution to establish the nurturing roots
necessary to create an environment, the essence of nature will
be seen in all aspects of the design.
