Boyer Park Poster

These are final posters my group and I did for a remodel of the Boyer Park event space located outside of Pullman. To start the project, we met with the managers and asked them questions about what they wanted to do with the space. It is just a big open room that had been walled in to protect visitors from the wind, so we had a wide variety of things we could have done. Actually talking with the clients and finding out what they want for their space was not only fun, but extremely helpful in narrowing down options we had come up with, as well as excellent practice for when we have real clients. The couple was very nice, and easy to talk to.

Working in a group is always a challenge, and it is something I'm very glad we are doing. It forces us to work together to find design solutions that best fits the clients needs, and again, it was great practice for when we actually work. Our team worked together extremely well, and we decided to leave the existing concrete floor, and give it an acid stain treatment to cut down on material cost, and to help with sustainability issues. As for the wall. we removed most of the west wall facing the lake and replaced it with Nanawalls, which are giant window wall doors that can be opened out to the new deck we built, leaving the inside and outside spaces less distinguishable. The managers really liked the natural atmosphere, so on the wall opposite the Nanawalls we decided to add a stone veneer over the entire wall to bring more of the natural element indoors, as well as to add aesthetic value and texture. The rest of the walls were just painted a pleasant neutral beige and the furniture would be tables they could move around/ add at their leisure. Overall I'm very pleased with the space and I'm very glad we had the opportunity to work on it.
