Dining room design by Michael Lai


The diagram above is the design of a dining room which I created using the program Google Sketchup. It was a project which I completed for the computer technology course offered at BCIT. The criteria was to create a space for a young couple who enjoyed entertaining as well as relaxation and time alone. The property is located on a cliff in Portland overlooking the ocean below. The concept consists of creating a tranquil and romantic environment with neutral earth tones so that the interior would amalgamate with the exterior. The double-sided fireplace adds coziness and is a feature shared by both the dining room and the living room. The mirror on the wall with a classic frame acts as an accent but also refracts light coming from both the fireplace and the chandelier. The simple and straight legs of the dining chairs contrasts the curves of the flower planters as well as the lines of the chandelier and parallels the subtle modern twist in this traditional setting. This dining room is an accurate representation of my work and portrays my tendency to merge the classic style with the contemporary.
