DESIGN PROJECT
You will have the choice to work alone or with a partner.
Create a unique bathroom design for a real life client.
Interview the client and build a client profile.
Your design will be showcased on a design board and must include the
following:
Accurate floor plan
Colour scheme
Sample materials that showcase: flooring, textiles, etc.
Pictures of fixtures and furniture and accessories
A price list
DESIGN PROJECT
You will be given class time to work on this project, however, you must
come prepared.
You will need a personal device such as a laptop or smart phone
to research products online. I will be giving you websites to help source
your materials, determine themes, and create your design.
You will have to spend time outside of school to gather some materials for
your design board, such as paint samples and/or other textiles and
materials you wish to include on your board.
You will also be responsible for creating a pitch to the client and class to
sell your design.
DESIGN PROJECT
ADVICE FROM PAST STUDENTS…
“Whatever you do, don’t leave this til the last minute!! There’s a lot of work involved
but it’s cool to see your design come together in the end.”
“Use the time the teacher gives you in class wisely. Don’t slack off like me cause
you’ll regret it when it comes time to present your board.”
“I especially liked getting to know the client and knowing that my design could
actually be one they chose. Ms. Chevrier expects you to be like a professional
designer, which helped inspire the project. It was very real.”
“I didn’t realize how much there is to think about as a designer. I thought it would be
a simple assignments, but there’s so much more to it than meets the eye.”
“Don’t waste class time.”
“Visit places like Home Depot and Kents to see the bathrooms on display. It helped
me a lot to see it in real life.”
“Don’t leave it til the day before or you’ll be up the creek buddy!!!”
