Each space, whether self-contained or open, is a unique shape. Many of the walls slope or slice through space. Asymmetrical windows cut into the walls of interior lecture halls, classrooms and computer labs. Flowing around and among these and the building’s myriad other facilities – sound stages, recording studios, screening rooms, exhibit and performance spaces, a multipurpose theater and other discrete areas – are “interactive spaces.” More expansive than traditional passageways, but more intimate than formal classrooms, they are designed to encourage impromptu exchanges and spontaneous collaboration. An abundance of natural light throughout further enhances the spirit of limitless possibility and outside-the-box thinking.......<b><a href="http://daniel-libeskind.com/projects/run-run-shaw-creative-media-centre">more</a></b>

Bright Basement Work Space Decorating Ideas

hardworking office and crafts haven with bright colors, DIY touches, and tons of storage.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZjMvi5sMVCBsAh_LoZJytdut38veVZjun_jWteS97ifmdCIXQA998C4QhHjnfojnrH8PQa8E2NXcOYq6Qnls3aTokU6Z80Ur9R7WvtvCL_2l5H2uP_syOHUqfnr7zFFJyFp3jfMT/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Sunny Style</span> </b></span></div><br />Unlike some basements, this space is blessed with an abundance of sunlight. That makes this spacious corner the perfect space for a home office/crafting studio. The homeowners used countertops and cabinets to create an L-shape configuration that allows multiple workstations.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl-lO42-_N5AardBF3_uPAajnyvVdIh6LuN0NIbyPa72FNDDXmnSDdAKey8U898iBpW_qdvn40_9KYN5QzVIvQ7eHEggvjeQd89ulCTcBHZXkueXWRqJc7mNIpo5-JhEwdNneCX1Ba/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Savvy Storage</span></b></span></div><br />To keep clutter at bay, the homeowner/designer mounted rods on the wall. Now her favorite supplies are out of drawers and off of surfaces yet still within easy reach. Baskets, bins, canisters, and magnetic strips provide perfect homes for ribbons, stamps, paper punches, embellishments, beads, and other art essentials.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_eYK04975hFUDMfFgscDqSk0xTPFBnBW4XbzfkoXIDa5R0WzU8yt6yCHV0QWbLpkYgRK_teYrVcMBuWvW3-Bho25kluYuA5hFiBRj1rA4Hjg0I7fxInt_AKq87ZizIdFsMe4B9GTy/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clear Solution</span> </b></span></div><br />These canisters are meant for the kitchen, but the homeowner/designer uses them to stash art supplies. Clear storage makes it easy for her to see and grab whatever she needs in an instant.<br /><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOg8wGAAuo4dHcOYXRgGGdVIUfJ4Hfv6mZ8bvHewf_11x8HgI5W-awPME94C0LKOft0cRMm-3Lmdgm20fsq1IV5kEDCCzb2n1nSe57Wa-qvdB9AKZNQHiHRx0blerMmNCEHqmMRR1t/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Light Bright</span> </b></span></div><br />The homeowner/designer wanted to take advantage of the sunlight streaming in through the basement windows. But she didn't want to sacrifice privacy. So she had a plastics store cut these 12-inch panels of plexiglass and drill holes into the top and bottom of each piece. For color and fun, she affixed vellum and scrapbook paper to the back of each piece. Finally, she connected the panels with binder rings to create this completely unique window treatment.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWMus8myoUvP0WYWjt0SROXfyHX-g2zqYweh3MEMimW2ac6_vHHb-TT5q_nANST0rbUNASch9VKPkdMwsL7dTdCQUF-xAnPQyCbL-k9aq1aNguSm2Lgwj6VXU2kWASviXo7xQqSjCi/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Color Cues</span></b></span></div><br />Mixing and matching vibrant color comes naturally to the homeowner/designer. For her work space, she chose a palette designed to inspire creativity. Two bright shades of orange coat the far wall panels, while lime green accentuates the adjacent wall.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuEvPGt7lIl8PNyVAn1e5SREd9OO4G6hCnsK1RNSBcWuonu40wQB206iOlcHjuIYM7TMXmEuN9IICvjfPI6wNjAu5TbCItE5pvSyjFRcDk6DCcILlTKFvxHXNusWSpbbjiuwJCWa-Q/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Orange Blossom</span> </b></span></div><br />Mod, graphic flowers bring the palette to life. The homeowner/designer first hand-drew the floral design on a transparency sheet, then used a projector to enlarge the image onto the wall. She drew the design on the wall in pencil, then covered it in a coat of light orange.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1E77TPI6HKjJ8Aj2TQSb3bmx_F-hXU49kSP4w2uKew2o9mzlrT8Uf8t1MYsoW5Trm6O5yk6WMoOVdIkC2H5NOSWOtRh_UAsDBduAvdrKsNhOVu2ThiSoJp45__8QPZ1mkQ56WF6n0/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Barstool Style</span></b></span></div><br />To dress up plain stools, the homeowner/designer sewed custom skirts. She used fabric that complements her decor, then added ribbons to hold the slipcovers in place.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi0CGXnVOBZSfbaGJeGyzwxZKRFrqsL68HadgQL84xOTtzxfckRjmVX2oC-p2BI1In0ycmfFoBiXtgT8PSpcO9KDo6EflyvqJYlEQ9hHV_aKSIBTs8g4IlwBQjdbsyF0KHQBHNGatq/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cabinet Creativity</span></b></span></div><br />These storage units looked awfully plain before the homeowner/designer got her hands on them. First, she and her husband found three unfinished wood cabinets. They added molding to give the pieces architectural interest, then painted them in their favorite orange hues. She used frosted window film to create the diamond designs on the glass cabinet doors. Pretty curtains suspended from tension rods give the cabinets a soft look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFnxYhIVf6aC3dLFwQCK0cywiBjX2MZi1q4P0VD6sxjFHTcmMbl6e8u5oeIEfkAduQ3jTJTkMjuHrtdHYGcxErOPgD83ucNlXdv74sCfdz_40Akba6c20VawhTAtOSsBR5bOv0l4UT/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="heading2">Store More</span></span></b></div><br />Picking up on the floral theme from her DIY window treatment, the homeowner/designer used scrapbook papers to perk up plain white magazine files. Now the storage pieces look like they were created just for this space.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT1JjuQgCCEgXo82lqRjbw57m2u-ReoLAfoq28Pwb7zPf-yPnFPrtxUfSPjj09PT3NQA-Pv3ClMA00m-Ov3wD5o1Ax38eTEFTJBa2yTK2daqdmKRscBf1G5T_vNzPWTay63-WdBBvV/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">It's A Wrap</span> </b></span></div><br />It couldn't get much simpler. Dowel rods suspended from inexpensive curtain hardware allows easy access to wrapping and crafts papers. She painted the dowels blue to align them with her color palette.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPlzPfCEZSpTumdr8Vd7pkGgckT0KEmIk7MLog_Hs-0zUmP-JPF8aqEGDs4ve8aPq2Be8rsdPYjzV_2TzjylHY9zPNoD7zsrJWCJwS_C_-LylO94b2dp5AX0hSyESemrJPJ93_vJPn/s640/Bright-Basement-Work-Space-decorating-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clean Sweep</span> </b></span></div><br />The homeowners chose easy-to-clean vinyl flooring for their work space. It resists scratches and scuffs, and it wipes up in a jiffy if paint happens to spill. The natural, woven-look pattern provides a subtle way to ground the bright wall colors.<br /><br /><br />

Roger Stephenson Architects created a bright, contemporary and welcoming space where a mix of banquettes, booth seats and centre floor tables sit comfortably against a contemporary design which combines timbers, natural stones and plush leathers. Lighting, supplied by large ivory pendants, provides an intimate atmosphere against a back drop of American Walnut and a "theatre" kitchen allows diners to experience the excitement of the kitchen which sits adjacent to the bar area where pre dinner drinks and tapas are served........<b><a href="http://www.rogerstephenson-architects.com/portfolio/grado.html#main">more</a></b>

Designed with a subtle aquatic theme in mind, the space relies on natural elements to blur the line between nature and reality. Casual, shore-inspired furniture with wood and woven finishes act as neutrals in the room. Sandy beige and watery blues mixed with beachy textures mimic a relaxing seascape. Found elements, such as piece of driftwood and wispy beach grass, provide natural finishing touches.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaaa8torZR_oHBomVsKo0TXLmVE2q9MPtzFrTgqnNFO0C5Cwdq102hoLyp599bM_fPKIAFaj4eHX98qCh5qqeFGJYZht63aCIoz-cngjtsuwdKUJkmQYMfJ4A44po1o9bipXh22xSD/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cottage-Style Beauty</span></b></span></div><br />Whitewashed wood paneling and seagrass floor covering lighten the living room and add texture.

Cover books with white parchment paper to give them a uniform look. Then pile shells, coral, and apothecary jars on top of and around them for a display with dimension.

The basement office consists of a linear open plan office arrangement with staff and WC facilities located parallel to this space. The ground floor office is divided into three distinct zones, with the creation of a new mezzanine deck, which provides an additional third level of office accommodation above. Behind the new façade, public sales and reception spaces provide a frontage to the river and public domain. Behind these spaces the mezzanine runs centrally along the spine of the existing space, creating semi-public meeting spaces underneath the deck. This central spine of accommodation in turn screens private office space to the rear. It is also the services conduit for the whole, thereby maximising flexibility within the offices......<b><a href="http://www.hodderandpartners.com/projects/dandara-offices-manchester">more</a></b>

After she earned a degree in criminology, she soon enrolled at The Art Institute of Chicago where she earned a B.F.A in interior architecture. The interpersonal skills she learned during her criminology studies helps her develop a profile of her clients and uncover their true design preferences. As the owner of a design firm and a home décor store in Chicago, Meg characterizes herself as a determined, direct and high-energy competitor. She describes her design style as a preppy mix of modern and traditional, but she also counts the vibrant pastel colors of “Palm Beach chic” among her favorite looks.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
