Site Plan

The focus for my capstone project is Landscaping. Here is the original site plan as it exists today with the adjacent buildings around it. You have to click on the picture to see it larger & clearer.
Now, here is the new parking plan and adjacent green spaces that I haven't developed yet. I added a gated parking area for the tenants. The public parking for the lounge, visitors, and employees is located in the front of the building.

Logo designs

Before I started my own logo design, I researched some logos for other loft apartment buildings and picked a few to draw inspiration from...

From there, I started to sketch out some preliminary ideas. I knew I wanted my logo to be graphic, have minimal images to focus on the text, and I wanted to incorporate my color scheme with it.

Here are my first designs:


I felt these designs were too simple for what I was looking for. I wanted to add more color to them as well.

Then I started to add the color scheme I want to incorporate into my project : deep purple, black, white, and grays.

After some revisions, here is my final logo that I will use for my capstone project. I like this logo the best out of all my designs because it mimics the shape of the actual building (long & rectangular). It is also still simple with the addition of text inside of the logo.
