Texture of Nature

This objective of this project was to create an accessible bathroom and laundry room. The concept came from a nature object. Mine happened to be a twig with some black berries on it. This also became the color scheme i used in the bathroom/laundry room. My concept model is my abstraction of wrinkles that were found on the berries. I then applied the splitting effect seen in my concept model to the layout of the bathroom/laundry room. This created the division of space between the two rooms and also the angle of the wall and the shower bath. I applied the concept of wrinkles to the walls of the shower bath as well. I used crash glass, which is like mosaic tile, but in nonuniform pieces and without creating an image. I made the toilet and one of the bathroom sinks handicap accessible. There is 60 inches between the two walls that enclose the toilet with grab bars behind and to the side. Also, one of the sinks doesn't have under counter storage allowing a wheelchair to easily roll up to it. On top of this i also, lowered the counter tops in order to be more accessible. I think I was successful at finding materials that fit the color scheme in the room perfectly. I also think i was able to use those materials to fit within my concept as well. I think i could improve on bringing my concept to my presentation board as well. I attempted to do this through the elevations in a "Y" shape, which is seen in my concept model, but I don't think it fits with the rest of the items on the board.
