My studio presentation. 

The project was combining two apartment into one high residence. 

My client is a young married couple, Luis who is music chief editor, Eva who is jazz singer. 

Luis is originally from south Africa, and lived in Paris for his college and work. He just got headhunted from other publish company in NYC. 

Eva is originally from Brazil, and she moved to U.S for college, majoring Jazz music. They met in Paris when Eva went to exchange student program in France. 

They collect Bruni Salban portrait painting, "Jazz Masters" ,Ella Fitzgerald , Billie Holiday,

Peggy Lee, and so on. 

My design solution was inspired by the paintings and their back ground which is Brazil and Africa. 

Use of color, material, and shape and form are evoked from their culture and character. 

I think residence design is hard, and it might be little bit conservative because it needs to meet the require of clients and comfort. 

It was fun project!!  I am so happy to be done with this though...
