Campus View Dorm
PROJECT TYPE: Residential
LOCATION: Allendale, MI
PROJECT GOALS: Design a space efficient and budget friendly dorm for a college freshman.
DESIGN STATEMENT: Working within the limited budget and customization options a college dorm provides, I tailored this space to a busy young biochem major. Work/life balance was a major concern for this client, so I focused on planning out zones of activity. I recommended lofting the bed that was provided by the school and placing the coordinating desk underneath it to better separate work from rest. The lofted bed would also provide shelving for books and a dresser that also functions as vanity space. A small storage ottoman provides seating for friends and storage for her crochet supplies. One of my client’s special requests was the inclusion of a round hanging chair which provides a comfortable place for downtime and is sure to be every visitor’s favorite spot. Additional hanging shelves in the closet provide extra storage while maintaining organization. Her school colors of blue and white are also her favorite colors, so they inspired textile and finish choices throughout the room. With a room that supports her individual style and her busy schedule for just under $1,000, this student is ready to take on the school year.
