The first project of second year was to design a jewelry store to be inserted into an existing space. Here are a few images of my final design:

| Elevation photo with my design inserted. |

| Plan with the main store entrance at the top left. |

| Section showing the intended use of spaces. |
 |
| Interior perspective looking towards the entrance. |
 |
| Interior perspective on the mezzanine level looking across the opening. |
This was the first time I integrated computer modeling in my design process. The model was created in Google SketchUp, then exported from there and imported into Autodesk Maya, which is a rendering program. Photoshop and Illustrator were used to create/modify the final presentation images, which included the ones shown above. It was a pretty short project, being only four weeks, and the next one is short as well. Unfortunately, this doesn't really allow for much time in the conceptual phase, which is a phase I would like to build more on.
