Residential Studio students showcased full kitchen + primary bath designs—from initial concept to final renderings—bringing their ideas to life through thoughtful space planning, material selections, and detailed development. Each project reflects a comprehensive design process, including client research, NKBA guideline integration, and a strong focus on both function and aesthetics.

Proud to see the level of growth, creativity, and professionalism in these presentations—what a strong finish to the semester!

Last week our Residential Design Studio students presented a progress of their studio project. Student shared their concepts, floor plans, finish selections, and created 2D isometric models. Their peers provided critiques and feedback to help refine the designs & determine what solutions work best moving forward.

Some of our students traveled down to Birmingham for IIDA + ASID Student Day 2026 where they spent the day meeting industry professionals, learning from designers across disciplines, and getting a real look at what practice looks like beyond the classroom. We are grateful for experiences like this that connect education, community, and the future of the profession.
