concept

To design a space inspired by cultural artifacts with a vibrant but comfortable aspect, embracing the Garcia–Smith cultural background and giving them a space where they can connect to their cultural roots. It has a warm, open kitchen and living space where family, friends, and their small dog can gather. For Mr. Garcia-Smith a place where he can relax and feel connected, and have all his book collection well organized. For Mrs. Garcia, a space where she can be inspired with her instruments and be unbound from creating music. Throughout the space, incorporate colorful hues from both cultures, making it vibrant and full of energy, with indoor plants and integrating wood ceiling beams to embrace the appreciation of natural materials, also include ceramic tile to show some of the artistic values and include all ageing-in-place requirements throughout the space. As well as art and artifacts, reflecting their cultural roots. Overall, this design is a modern  Mediterranean design.
