Rebuilding Together Part 2

Chie Morioka and I designed a plan that was affordable yet durable and highly efficient. We lined all the plumbing up on one wall, found donated eco tile from left over projects, and created simple storage solutions, while encouraging a well thought out task analysis.

We designed a sink unit that was located outside the bathroom, a shower area with a curtain for private showering and a single toilet nook. The layout allows the children to do their hair and makeup while one child can use the toilet and another is showering. The storage is adjustable which encourages the children to feel empowered through controlling ones own space. The tile design on the floor is playful yet subconsciously divides each of the spaces for different tasks.

When Chie and I presented the plans to the client she began to cry while stating that we read her mind yet exceeded her vision of what was possible. The impact of design and how it can change someone’s life is amazing. In my opinion, and that of my company’s, every design must encapsulate form and function, while surpassing our client’s expectations.
