CALDWELL HALL6TH FLOOR DESIGN STUDIO • 609 S. LUMPKIN RD. ATHENS GA 30606 • The studio is spit up into 3 areas, the area I will be designing is on the eastern side of the building. • It has large windows on both the north and east sides and is separated from the rest of the floor by a partition wall.
DETAILS: Client: UGA School of Environment and Design This is the place where seniors do all or most of their studio project work It is currently a well lit semi-dull area without much color or interest
EXSISTING LAYOUT -ceiling height 15’ -flooring carpet -walls concrete block -48 student desks -1 TV in corner -2 couches and an easy chair by TV -entry from south west

ANALYSIS: AESTHETICS • Colors in the room- mostly different shades of gray and white • Everything currently in the area has a generally horizontal or flat feel to it • My overall aesthetic judgment of the existing layout of the room is that it is too institutional. I think adding plants would create a more dynamic and creative environment.
ANALYSIS: LIGHT • The part of the studio I am working with is basically a 4 walled rectangle • 2 of those walls are almost entirely lined with windows, so the most of the area is very well lit • There are however certain areas as depicted in the next slide that receive a lower amount of light.
ANALYSIS: MOISTURE • Since the studio is on the sixth floor of a well sealed building and has only fixed in place windows there is virtually no effect from outside moisture. • If anything the site may be slightly dry but this can be remedied with a correct watering program.
ANALYSIS: TEMPERATURE / AIR MOVEMENT • The temperature in the studio is held relatively constant at a range of 65 to 75 degrees. • There is little or no air movement in the room besides what is caused by the vents and air conditioning system. • The low air movement problem can be solved by adding fans in needed areas. • The addition of fans would also generate a calming sound as they blow air through the foliage of plants.
ANALYSIS: CONCLUSION • All things considered I think the 6th floor studio is a perfect candidate for an interiorscape for two reasons • Good site conditions • An appreciative user group (students, teachers, and staff)
INSPIRATION • My inspiration for designing an interiorscape for the studio is to soften the environment and create new forms of interest in the room. • Working for hours and hours during the day and into the late hours of the night is a reality for most professionals and most good students as well. I believe that by adding plants to the studio would some of the stress generated could be relieved by the surrounding environment.
