DESIGN CONCEPT STATEMENT
This new YOUMedia space will be a calming, engaging, sophisticated, and contemporary environment to study and learn. This warm and inviting floor is a home away from home, a safe space for individuals to create and express themselves. Individual spaces for self exploration are adorned with pops of vibrant color and cozy textures, overall embracing the youth in the community.

RESEARCH
I focused my research on new and modern design constructed in old historic buildings. I specifically looked at the Selexyz Dominicanen Bookstore in Maastricht, Holland.
I was intrigued with how the shell was utilized to add in character while the new interior elements were sleek, simple, and sophisticated. To me, this had a very high class look while being very functional.
