These are the final boards for the adaptive reuse project of the Northern Pacific Railroad Depot found in downtown Pullman, Washington. This overall building was to be designed into a gallery space, a studio and a residence personally designed for a regional artist. Catharine Newell, a kiln and fused glass artist is who I chose. Throughout the design I used the inspiration of the herringbone brick pattern found outside of the original depot. Line and repetition are found throughout the design and natural colors, such as blue and green are sought throughout. The design is ADA accessible and goes along Universal Design requirements, and also aids vision impairment. The egress and demolition plans were the ones that were new to me, and are important to show the accessibility of the design. The exterior brick of the original depot still remains throughout most of the walls of the new space, also windows and doors remain allowing for a sense of the space as it was. This project was fun because it allowed for the design to be derived specifically for one person, not just in general. Designing for Catharine Newell allowed for a much more personal experience and a lot of her ideas went into the design.
