Residential Design Students gain real world experience with Asheboro Clients

Below is the design concept statement for our clients Vicki Moss and Jay Councilman.

Two becomes one in this home. Beautiful, sentimental pieces will be placed in a recreated design that will provide an oasis of comfort and an abundance of natural light. By creating versatility and capturing personal interests and preferences in the design, entertaining friends and family will be enjoyable and private spaces will be cherished.

This “live” project is taking place here in Asheboro, NC and our second year Residential Design students are working with the design-builder, Tim Garris; under the instruction of Ann Smith-Palenchar. Originally, the home was built in 1949 and now it is getting a new garage and a fresh interior layout.

After interviewing Ms. Moss, the students began working with Mr. Garris on floor plan suggestions and changes. Once the changes were approved, a space plan was created using current furnishings mixed with a few new pieces. Next, the students visited Connie at Carolina Supply, Inc. to select plumbing fixtures and to obtain estimates for budgeting purposes.

Last week, the students had the opportunity to visit Burgess Woodworks in Ramseur, NC. Prior to their visit, the students created designs, on the computer or by hand, for custom cabinetry in the kitchen, bathrooms, utility area, master bedroom closets, and study. While at Burgess Woodworks, each student reviewed her design with Ronnie Burgess and selected the wood, door style, hardware, finish, and countertops.

What’s next? Lighting and fabric selections…Currently, the students are working on reflected ceiling plans and specifying light fixtures for the home.

Stay tuned.
