KATONG FOODCOURT
Interior Designer (Representing Singapore Polytechnic)
Dec 2020 - Jan 2021
Led design of retro themed interior, worked with another pair in a team of 4. Responsible for proposal of final layout design. Scrutinized and represented data collected from over 250 respondents through data analytics and presented the findings to both the team & client. Based on data collected, the floor plan layout was focused on creating intimate nooks for a refined, elevated dining experience - the layout served as a guide for both teams to work with. Used mapping softwares to evaluate material/furniture pairings for 5-6 unique themes in each individual nook. Explored creation of bump maps and distortion maps using photoshop, to create 3 dimensional rendering textures including one for polycarbonate panels, which diffuses light in a unique way. Generated an interactive live VR walkthrough for the clients to experience the spatial qualities.
