The color scheme is perhaps the easiest and least expensive design option derived to engage the occupants and associate a sense of place. We used 4 paint colors and 4 VCT colors. The floor was conceived of mostly VCT, some raised pattern rubber tile, and carpet in one of the lounge areas. The rubber tile has been cut from the job, but the idea was to introduce a texture change to the floor to denote different zones in plan and general circulation. This project is under a very conservative budget and was priced by the GC prior to final drawings and finishes were selected, so the process of VE has been an ongoing effort. Software, well I must say my tool bag hasn’t changed much, Autocad 2009 for documentation, SketchUp 6 for design and modeling, 3dStudio Max 9 for rendering, and recently started using Revit 9, but that’s a completely different discussion.

Appropriate for the users here (and not overdone). Feels good. What did you model this with? I really like the playful and engaging use of color. Appropriate for the users here (and not overdone).
