AUT Lecture Theatres and Conference Centre Interior 1
Located in Auckland, New Zealand, AUT Lecture Theatres & Conference Centre was designed by RTA Studio. The building seeks to respond to its unique context and location in the Pacific Rim by acknowledging the local aspects of the site and the culture of Auckland. The geomorphology of the site has evolved from unique events both volcanic and subsequently sedimentary and metamorphic. This has left a ‘geological encryption’ seen in the stratification of the surrounding landform. Auckland has one of the largest and most diverse populations of Polynesian people in the world. Tattooing is common to all these cultures. This ‘cultural encryption’ can be seen in a cross-section of Auckland’s people.
These geomorphic forms rise out of the volcanic geology of the region (lying buried below the ground surface). The smaller of the two theatres slides out of the other. This cave-like form offers the necessary architectural attributes to control the interior conditions required for high-tech audio-visual lecture theatres. The ‘sky’ encloses the multifunctional space by way of clouds clinging to the landform and covering the plateau below. This floating series of roofs allows a flexibility of function to occur below by way of operable walls and furniture arrangement. The layering of roofs in a saw-tooth formation also allows natural light to enter the space like sun through the clouds.
The building utilises a number of ecologically sustainable principles; mixed mode ventilation, recycled carpet tiles, rainwater harvesting, low energy light fittings, passive solar design and low embodied energy materials.

The Academy designed by BVN Architecture is located in Melbourne, Australia. The Academy is an immersive environment that engages all the senses to enhance learning. The design team in conjunction with responsive environment artists and sonic specialists, worked collaboratively with NAB to create The Academy. The Academy is a 3, 200 m2 publicly accessible space, symbolising NAB’s belief in the potential of its employees and the communities NAB support. The new space will be dedicated to employee learning and development and community engagement – experienced in a unique, interactive environment with state of the art technology.
Over 30,000 people have attended business or learning events at The Academy since its opening in July 2009. This includes Edward de Bono who has held a learning session at The Academy. NAB has also held CEO dinners in the space bringing the leaders of other corporations together. The project intent was to create ‘experiences’ not just spaces. All spaces offer different types of experiences founded on the underlying principle of ‘Transformation’. The journey starts with the timber stair. In keeping with the philosophy of Transformation, self discovery is encouraged, as one navigates their own path between the timber blades situated throughout the space.
The unique learning spaces tune in to all senses – energy zones that affect the rhythm of the human body. Spaces are supported by leading edge technology such as the 18 metre panoramic simulation walls. However, the design also understands the ability to brainstorm and share your stories is equally important. The ten primary training spaces have a specially created ‘dial a mood’ soundscape allowing facilitators to use music to create different levels of energy. The unique spaces tune in to all senses thereby stimulating learning and creative thinking beyond the usual ways. Through the use of projection and sound, a ‘Parallel Wilderness’ has been created – a virtual eco-system which co-exists in the space. The Parallel Wilderness grows and changes with the rhythm and energy of The Academy. The content is programmed to be self generating.

Whether your bathroom is large or small one thing is certain, you're going to have to spend money if you want an updated bathroom. How much money you need to spend depends to a certain extent on the size of your bathroom and how much updating you feel you need to do to give the look and feel you desire.
If you only have a couple hundred dollars to spend then generally you'll be limited to mostly cosmetic changes such as paint, hardware and accessories. Though this may not be much money to spend, don't discount the effect that a new coat of paint, some new hardware on the doors and drawers, and some additional accessories such as an inexpensive prints or new towel racks may have on your bathroom. Often that is all that is necessary to give your bathroom a very fresh and updated look.
Next, add items that will help relax, whether you are getting ready for your day, or relaxing in a nice hot bath at the end of day. Try having a radio/CD player to listen to music to get going or unwind before going to bed. Candles are also nice if you want to have the soft light and pleasant scents while are relaxing in the tub. Also, try using baskets or glass jars to place on the sink or on the shelf, to neatly store items which are used often. Make-up, cotton balls, and wash cloths, should be stored neatly with easy access. Having these items clutter bathroom will not make space a relaxing one.
If you are decorating a bathroom for children, you will want brighter colors. If it is a uni-sex bathroom, I prefer soft green colors to coordinate with both pinks and blues. There are so many themes to choose from, especially animal themes. Rubber ducks, garden animals, jungle animals, sea animals, or even bugs are very popular bathroom themes for children. Most have matching towels, rugs, shower curtains, and soap dishes.
Hotel inspired bathrooms can give the feeling of get-away luxury without ever leaving home. Good lighting, clean lines, and marble surfaces make the bathroom attractive and uncluttered. A large mirror can expand the appearance of space. Other bathroom interior design ideas for a hotel-styled bathroom include monogrammed towels, attractive wallpaper, and crisp design elements.
When the bathroom is used and who will be using it will inform your bathroom interior design choices. A public powder room will be able to be more whimsical or dramatic, whereas a family bath must be more practical. Guest baths should create a welcoming and inviting space for people away from home. A master bathroom should encourage relaxation.
Be careful to choose materials that will not be damaged by water and humidity for your bathroom interior design. Wallpaper can be used in some bathrooms, but in other, the high humidity can cause it to peel and fall off. Tile is a popular choice for a bathroom, but can be damaged if your bathroom is high traffic. A good substitute for traditional tiles is vinyl tile, which can look just like ceramic or marble, but is not as easily broken. Wood cabinets are popular as well, but again, should be careful to make sure they will not be susceptible to water damage. swell, warp, and crack in humid environments.
The best time to do curtain cleaning is during a sunny day. Remove all the curtains in the house and put them in the washer. To save time, you can clean your windows while the curtains are being washed. Most curtains can be washed using delicate cycle but for drapes, may have to buy a commercial cleaner where in you can spray on. Remember not to force drapes in the washer without removing the metal hangers. In addition, make sure that washer can stake the load capacity of the drapes. are in doubt, it is best to do homemade dry cleaning to clean the heavy material of the drapes. In this way, do not have to take down the drapes.
One of the enemies of curtain for home is cigarette smoke. If there are smokers in your home, probably have to clean curtains every three months. The soft fabric of the curtains can be affected by nicotine in cigarettes. In addition, home will smell like smoke if just washed curtains. It is necessary to use fabric softener on curtains during the rinsing process. This way, curtains will smell nice.

was choosing a color scheme for my living room I would go to the cooler colors on my color wheel chart - the blues and greens which can be used in different shades to achieve a 'joined-up' look of cool elegance. make sure that, when my ceiling, light shade of the room's main color on my ceiling so, color scheme was blue, would use the lightest eggshell blue find for my ceiling and then a slightly deeper shade of blue for my walls. If have mouldings could paint those completely white, or go for a darker shade of blue to both the walls and the ceiling. use matt paint on my walls and a paint with some kind of sheen on the mouldings.
For windows, to add height, place the curtain pole as high as possible near to the ceiling. This will give curtains plenty of drop to achieve an elegant drape. Modern décor arrangements always suggest that the fabric should be allowed to pool on the floor - never in my house. To me, artistic though it evidently is, this 'pooling' idea for the fabric is just a dust collector and, if have dogs like I do, is just asking them to make a bed out of the fabric! Why did I mention this? Find out what the trends are, but that does not mean have to follow the trends slavishly. Adapt styles to suit you and your lifestyle.
Therefore, it is important then that the bedroom is designed to fulfill your needs. Not only does this room need to look good to the eyes but also must be soothing to the soul.
A bedroom design can be a challenging task because not only is the bedroom a very romantic place but in this age where stress takes its toll on many, a good night’s sleep is an increasingly rare commodity.
Before you begin tearing down the walls, it makes sense to talk over the design plans with your partner, if have one. A romantic bedroom should reflect both people’s ideals.
Add some personal flavor that touch both of at the same time. Pictures from a vacation or a picnic or from a romantic getaway can be great. Make sure that the lighting is just right for both of one of likes to read late into the night, it may be better to install personal lighting. Soft lighting can create a good mood and some soft rugs can complement it. If like, can add an incense burner or potpourri to get in the mood.
Most of the commercial interior designs that because they are indeed very marvelous as well as beautiful, and the same goes for the many television commercials that also feature many different and excellent commercial interior designs. The end effect is that the mere thought of incorporating the many different and attractive commercial interior designs that have seen advertised should cause you to pay closer attention to these many interesting possibilities that can be used to boost your store’s image.
So, if after all that have seen makes want to upgrade the look of store in the hope that it will help boost your sales and also attract more customers, then incorporating commercial interior design would be an option worth considering. It will definitely mean making changes to the store, and even simple things such as the placing of mirrors within the shop, the type of floors, lighting arrangements and even the placing of clothes all lend them very well as subjects worth the attention of better commercial interior design.
The first thing that commercial interior design will need to address is where to place mirrors in the store which should help customers view the products better and also not mean having to use the dressing room each time the customer need to view how dresses look. Thus, what modern commercial interior design helps to do is to show you how to strategically place mirrors in the shop to get maximum effect though must remember not to have more than are absolutely necessary.
Different periods in history reflect very different interior designs. This article looks at the key characteristics of the most popular dolls house periods from 1714 to the early 1900’s and will help to ensure house looks its period best!
This style focused on harmony and symmetry using pale colour schemes and delicate furniture to produce a room that was airy and light.
Floors were often bare with oriental style rugs although grander houses may have had stone or marble flooring. Walls were panelled but often only reaching dado height with the top being papered or painted. Wallpaper were made using simple repeat patterns although towards the later half of this period they were also block printed often in stripes or simple shapes. Furniture was delicate and sofas with a hoop back were typical. Fireplaces were the focal point of the room and should be elegant with basket grates. Pictures were hung in formal groups to flank the fireplace and other ornaments would have included porcelain, fans and lacquer work.
The Victorians used theirs homes as a reflection of their status. It was an age of imitation and reproduction with many styles influencing interior design from Gothic to Rococo. For the dolls house enthusiast this means lots of ornaments, overstuffed chairs and sofas, and patterned wallpapers and carpets.
Keep only what need. haven’t used it, worn it, opened it, tried it, tasted it or needed it in 18 months, get rid of it. This helps keep the clutter under control also.
To cosmetically alter the appearance of a small room, cover the walls with a light color, such as beige, cream, pale yellow, mauve or pastels. Light colors reflect light from the sun and lamps, thus making a room appear more open and roomier. A white or very pale beige on the ceiling also reflects back more light and enlarging the presence. Dark colors can make a room feel closed in and small from limiting the light sources. Light colored rugs or carpeting also extend the appearance of a larger area.
