The brief was to design three spaces for a realistic project, the Fire & Ice Boutique Hotel that was proposed to be built in Wollongong, New South Wales.
The designs were for the reception area, a typical bedroom, and the pool bar/break room area.
My design objective was to communicate the emotions one would experience when one encounters ice and fire. This was coupled with historical relevance and the landscape of the Wollongong area. My aim was to channel these experiences through the materials, colours, shapes, and space, whilst having a connection to the area and the past of Wollongong.
It was beyond my imagination! I didn’t expect it at all!
I had a background in architecture from overseas prior to my studying a Diploma of Interior Design at ISCD. As I had a break after migrating to Australia, studying at ISCD gave me the confidence and reassurance to follow my intuition. I also shaped my knowledge about soft furnishings, fabrics and so much about colour, that also helps me in my current interior design work.
The surroundings, circumstances, past, and its connection to the site.
I try to find what is it that is unique in a particular project, and then use that to either connect it to its surroundings, owners or its past.
Design should connect with the user in a way that makes a positive impact and resonates. It should uplift one’s spirit and create a great impact. It needs to be current and facilitate the needs of the user. Hence the aspiration is to create spaces that do just that.
