1. Interior Design I final design project

2. You own your own interior design firm and 2 clients come in. They are in their mid 50s and have 6 children. All of their children are out of the house except for their youngest who is a senior in high school. They have 3 grand children. They just barely downsized their living space and moved into a newly built home with an unfinished basement. They want to hire you to design their basement. They have brought the raw floor plan outline for you to look over. The Background

3. Part 1: Write down a list of 5-10 questions that you would ask these clients to get to know them. Make sure these questions address their design style, their needs/wishes for the space, and who they are as people/as a couple so you can meet their needs in your design. Part 2: Sketch the entire outline of the floor plan. Remember the load bearing walls and the furnace and plumbing that the contractor has already placed in the space. The Background
