My biggest design strength

Throughout my two years at UNCG i think that i have most developed my understanding of what people need from a space. Particularly in areas where cooking is done. With all of the research and observation i've done about people in space i think that i could proudly articulate the situations that would occur within particular living spaces. I can easily visualize how a space will be utilized. I can see spaces that might prove to be problematic and others that would be ideal for the particular group of people.

When it comes to kitchens i understand the necessary amount of space and layout for the kitchen to fulfill it's functionality. For example, the distance between oven, sink, dishwasher, and preparatory area, distance of counters from floors, toe kick, and cabinet height. There are a lot of different components that are important to a kitchen.

Any living space has to be comfortable and relaxing for the inhabitants. No one wants to come home to a space that is overly energetic and peppy. What we need are spaces that boost your mood with warming colors, spaces that are open, and spaces that are well lit with natural and artificial lighting.
