Digital Outcome Process- HomeStyler

 In this post I will show my 3D digital model process with using HomeStyler software. 

I used this colour palette for both spaces but I used more vibrant tones for ground floor and warmer and lighter colours for first floor. 

First I started designing ground floor. I did my floor plans before so I started the design with flooring. To show the space wider I tried light coloured floorings. After trying different colours I decided this wooden colour oak flooring. 

After choosing the floor I chose the door material and colour. I used same colour and material on the classroom doors and double doors to enter the breakout space. I chose grey steel material for its fire resistance.  

 Then I chose lighting. I used LED lighting because of its energy efficiency and environmentally friendliness.  I placed 6 LED lights to make the area look lively and bright. 

I designed ground floor as recreation area. So I placed some games and entertainment objects in this space.  I placed the table football to corner and leave some space to people who will play this game. Then I put a TV to wall to show and inform students about university events. On the other wall I wanted to place a cork board for students to fill with images or drawings they did however,  I couldn't find cork board in software so I placed wire wall grid.  With this way students can decorate the space with their drawings and they can make the space more personalised for themselves. 

I put a bench with coffee table next to the table football. Then I added some decorations like plants and paint on the same wall with TV. I placed two fire alarm next to the entrance doors. 

I put a hanger next to the first entrance where people can put their belongings. Then I placed an open bookshelf next to hanger to put board games. As this space is not big for table games like table tennis, I wanted to put many boards game which people can plan on table or while they are sitting.  I couldn't find any board game to place in bookshelf so instead of board games I placed some books and decorations. And I placed a plant between bookshelf and hanger to freshen up the environment. I placed a table with chairs next to bookshelf which students can play board games and I placed a big clock to the wall. 

Then I placed two sofas with coffee table between second entrance and table football. I put two portable handheld game console and placed some decorations. I put the mirror next to the entrance. 

I designed the space in a lively and colourful way to energise the environment. And supported this design with paintings and decorations. This is how it looks from top and more pictures from ground floor's breakout space. 

Then I designed the first floor's breakout space. First floor's design is more for relaxing and resting so I designed lunch corner area and gallery area with students' artworks. First I designed lunch corner and I placed the lunch corner between lift and entrance.  I put a countertop and then placed the microwave and coffee machine on top. I used at lunch corner's wall to highlight that area. Then I put high tables and chairs in front of the lunch corner. I also placed flip up sockets on tables for students' who want to study at there and placed wall lamps.

Then I designed the corner like a small gallery I placed many paintings that students made all over the walls and put a big sofa in front of them. I also placed a TV to represent other artworks which students did such as fashion outcomes or sculptures. This area can give an inspiration to students. Also I divided this area with see through window. 

Then I placed a big bookcase right next to the entrance and put some books and magazines and also students' artwork. In this area I tried to create more cosy and comfortable space with bean bags and chairs. Then I placed the vending machine next to classroom and put a bin next to it. Because it is between two entrance and there is a classroom on that side so I didn't want to block the entrance. 

And there is more pictures from breakout space. 

In my next post I will show concept sketches that I made.
