The Parker’s Residence
Statement of the Design Problem
The Parker family, prominent members of society, has obtained your services to design
their summer residence, a luxury apartment located in Richmond , Virginia.
The apartment is approximately a three-hour drive from the Parker’s year-round home. The summer residence is located on the penthouse story of a 10-store building and is approximately 2400
square feet (2394 sq. ft.). The Parker’s have a daughter entering
Emory University soon and have also requested
that selections be made for furnishing and accessories for her studio apartment in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Parker family plans to spend virtually every weekend at this residence, as well as longer vacation periods. Mrs. Parker’s mother, who has asthma, plans to spend many vacation weekends
with the couple. The family plans to entertain frequently. Mr. Parker is an astronomy enthusiast who encourages his guests to use his telescope to view the stars. Mrs. Parker also enjoys collecting oil paintings and loves to display her growing
collection. The couple would like to incorporate their favorite color, navy blue, in the color scheme. The residence is to include an entry/foyer area, a living area, a dining area, a kitchen, a master bedroom/bathroom,
and a guest bedroom and bathroom. A budget of $50,000 has been set by the
client’s to meet the programming requirements.

Concept Statement
A space will be created that is relaxing and inviting to the Parker’s and
their family to spend their vacation time during the summer. An open floor plan
will be used that will make it easy for the Parker’s to entertain. A place
will be provided where Mr. Parker can use his telescope and share it with guests.
Lots of open wall space and special lighting will be incorporated in the social areas of the house to allow Mrs. Parker
to display her collection of oil paintings. The Parker’s favorite color
navy blue will be worked into the color schemes throughout the home. Special
accommodations will be made for Mrs. Parker’s mother to assure her comfort and safety. The overall atmosphere of the
penthouse will be simple, yet elegant.
