Shown here is a photograph of a material board for the Windward Island visitor centre project. Windward Island visitor center is a west coast style structure that provides tourists with a sanctuary for the mind and soul to rejuvenate while awaiting the ferry. It is an environment that synthesizes creativity and functionality to create a cozy and relaxing niche that bridges nature and design. The predominant inspiration of the space is founded in the great blue heron. Mellow hues of blue, grays and whites from the body of the bird can be seen in the colour selection of the materials. The orange shade of the beak serves as the accent and provides ample stimulation in a subdued setting. Light blue carpeting throughout the space is symbolic of the shallow water which the bird wades in. Natural materials such a wood and stone are used in abundance to link the structure to the site. This in turn creates a calm and harmonious environment where one can be relaxed and at peace. This material board is shown for it exhibits my ability to reinforce my concept via the use of colours and materials.
