FIELD TRIP

James J Hill House
               "James J. Hill built a house that symbolized success, but one that also suited him and his family."
 Summary of the field trip:
          On this field trip we traveled on a bus to St.Paul Minnesota and went to the James J hill house. We got to see the exterior of the house and all of the houses along Summit Ave. They were very big houses and originated in the 1700-1800 era. Then we took a walk to St.Paul Cathedral and took a tour on the inside and learned the architect of the building. 

James J hill & his house :
           James J Hill was a very rich man and he says the key to his success is "Work, hard work, intelligent work, and then more work." Hill had a railroad service that served as the backbone of whit American settlement, agriculture, mining and timber development, and commercial expansion. So basically his railroad served for a lot of things and it made him a very successful man. This house was completed in 1891 it was the largest and most expensive home in Minnesota. It contained 36,500 square feet on five floors including 13 bathrooms, 22 fireplaces, 16 cut-glass chandeliers, a two-story skylit art gallery, an 88-foot reception hall, and a profusion of elaborately carved oak and mahogany woodwork. This house would serve the hill family for over 30 years. Peabody, stearns and furber, designed this beautiful mansion.



Summit Ave 

People who lived on Summit Ave back then had a lot of realationship to the Hills. Most of them were rich and had a successful background. There were many architects along the Summit ave. To many architects to list and to point to which house they did. A lot of the houses were my favorite, these pictures portray my favorite ones.

   


























St. Paul Cathedral 
This building was built in 1841 and is one of the most beautfiul cathedrals ever. The style of architect is classic revival. The architect was Emmanuel Louis Masqueray and Whitney Warren. On the inside theere is stain glass everywhere and a HUGE organ that plays music beautifully. 

Zenovious- a family of four with a German Shepard

1st floor


2nd floor






















My clients family has 2 teenager , and one German Shepard. This house fits the clients family perfect, with all of the yard the dog can run around in and the dad loves to landscape so there's lots of yard to landscape. Each family member has car so we can fit two in the garage and the other two in the driveway. Because the oldest boy is in community college he is usually gone during the day along with the girl. The cars in the driveway would be no problem. There are extra rooms for the father to have a quite place and the young boy to study. The young boy likes to work on cars and that was one exception they had to make, there would be no place for him to work on them unless he uses the garage, there is enough land to build a second garage if they would like. The accommodation for the young girl was her own bathroom so she can primp all that she wants. This house is perfect for a family of four with a loving dog.

Harmony

This week in interior design we talked about harmony. With harmony there are two elements to it and that is unity and variety. I used unity very well with the green and nature theme. I also used variety with my lines in the flooring and the dresser.

Rhythm

Repetition 
Repetition means the action of repeating something that has already been said or written. These two pictures represent repetition very well with the first picture, the blue chairs are repeating each time as well as the lights, and the apples on the table etc. The second picture is pretty self explanatory, you can tell the picture frames repeat themselves on the wall very well.


































Radiation 
Radiation defined means going from a circular object and it brings your eyes out in the circular form. In my first picture the light shows radiation very well when you look at it your eyes go out following the rhythm of the shape. The second picture it could be the table as well as the circles in the mirror. 













Gradation 
Gradation defined means the use of a change in size of objects from large to small or a change in color from light to dark. The first picture shows in color on the wall it goes to dark shade of pink to a nice light color of pink. Same goes for the second picture the color blue goes from light to dark on the carpet. It brings your eyes towards it.

Color Schemes

Monochromatic 
Monochromatic colors are all the colors of a single hue. Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints. The colors i chose to make this space is a neutral brown. I was very effective in the way I put it in my olioboard. You can see with all of my accents it all has the neutral brown color to it. The mood of this room overall is comfy and you can defiantly just relax in this room. 







Analogous 
Are the colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel. They tend to look good together because they are closely related. Orange, yellow-orange, and yellow are an example of analogous colors. For the colors in my olioboard I chose the orange, yellow-orange, and yellow as well. This rooms overall feeling is exciting and crazy, it is a room that you would have to get use to. 



Split-Complementary 
The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement. I used the colors purple, yellow with a hint of grey to bring it all together. This room is the ideal room for modern day houses. It has a fashion feel to it and its super comfy. 




Triadic
A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. Triadic color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues. The colors I used to create this room was blue yellow and red. It brings a springy feel and excitement. This room does seem to have a lot going on but it isn't crowded.
