Assignment: To design a retail store using Google sketch up, perspectives and working drawings to convey design intent. Challenges: Using Google sketch up to generate a model. Solution: Many textures were used but almost all the materials are white or white washed. A rustic feel is captured among the branch light fixtures to the wooden display units. One of the main features is the ceiling which is constructed of polyurethane foam which has then been hand carved and sculpted to simulate snow drifts. Creating a feeling of being one with the elements. The exterior of the store features a distressed wood dropped ceiling that continues out and wraps onto the face of the exterior.

Challenges: Scheduling times to meet with the group to work on the project. The model building was also challenging because different hands are working on different pieces and communication was really important in bringing everything together.

Everyone utilized their unique skills and worked well as a team contributing equally to the outcome.

Large curved windows were incorporated to take in the view and bring natural light into the restaurant. As the evening approaches Melt transforms into a lively gathering spot with up beat music, flowing wine and great food. The design plays with texture, dramatic contrast within the color selection and reflection of light to create a layering effect for added depth and mystery. Natural and artificial light sources enhance the reflective materials. Illuminated features within the restaurant are hidden during the day and become accents during the evening. Ambient integrated light sources within the ceiling panels create a memorable, mystifying experience as if you were dining under a starry night.
