Humble Design
Our task as the lead designers was to create such a space utilizing donated pieces of furniture, lighting, and accessories. After meeting with the family, we took their list of needs/wants and began to create a cohesive space reflective of what they define as home. It was a great practice in working conceptually with substantial restrictions. We did not have the luxury of sourcing items to purchase, but designed each room of the two level apartment with what was given to us. Those restrictions actually allowed for a unique kind of creativity that pushed us to reconsider how all of the elements still apply, and applied well, within such boundaries.

Imagine the Space
Walking through the apartment, we were able to take measurements and build a concept that was flexible enough to adjust depending on what was available at the warehouse.
Warehouse Source
New acquired space, newly acquired items, we pulled items to build a cohesive space.
Install
With great assistance from volunteers, we installed all of the furniture, accessories, toiletries before the family came in to view the space for the first time.
