Historic Style and Transitional Home Research
Transitional Home Research:
In Rockland, Maine New Hope for Women manages six separate residences that
provide support, education, and a safe living space for women and children who
have experienced domestic/dating violence, stalking, and homelessness. Each
home provides the women with private bedrooms and shared bathrooms. The
living areas and the kitchen are communal areas and can be accessed at any
time. Both areas are designed to foster a sense of community amongst the
residents. There are also playrooms for the children in each home. The program
partners with various design organizations and student groups who volunteer
their time and services to renovate or remodel the residences. According to
Hannah Harter-Ives, a Transitional Services Advocate with New Hope for
Women, safety is the primary concern of the program. The locations of the
houses are kept confidential, and women are placed in the home that is the
furthest away from the area where their abuse occurred. New Hopes program
last two years and seeks to equip the residents with the tools they need to have
stable, independent lives and provide for their children (Harter-Ives).
The transitional homes we investigated all shared many commonalities,
despite their geographic diversity. The programs were all comprehensive,
extending far beyond merely providing physical shelter. The residents of all of
the homes had access to extensive counseling, job training, health services, and
childcare. The facilities all featured private bedrooms with communal
bathrooms and common living and dining spaces. It was clear that creating an
environment that allowed the residents to form a sense of community and
gather was important to the programs. The women and children who reside in
these transitional homes have all experienced abuse and trauma, and therefore,
creating a calm, peaceful environment was very important. All three transitional
homes interviewed cited the safety of the women and children using the shelters
as their top priority. Creating a safe and secure facility for the residents is
important, but the space needs to feel and function like a home. Transitional
houses are a lifeline to women in crisis, and can provide them both the safety
and respite they need to recover and rebuild their lives. In addition to being
professionally challenging, the opportunity to design a transitional house for
women in need would be extremely rewarding.

Style of design:
Most of the lighting
was either candle
light or burned on
oil. Candles were
expensive and time
consuming to
make. They were
usually in beef
tallow, bayberries,
beeswax, or
spermaceti. Betty
lamps burned either
fish or animal oil, so
these smoked and
produced odors.
1800 produced
brass and glass
lamps that would
burn whale oil and
was brighter. These
could be
freestanding,
sconces, or as
chandeliers with
crystal elements
and gilt bronze.
Lamp shades:
These were
typically glass and
were sometimes
etched. It helped to

Candles were the most

common way to light a home
until 1800 when the Argand
lamp started making its way
to the United States. It was
produced in England by a
Swiss inventor (Duffes 186).
Candelabras were
constructed of brass and
crystal elements for
decorative purposes, but
were lightweight in style
compared to those of the
Rococo period.

Project Concept Statement
Concept Statement
Boston House will be a warm and welcoming space that provides shelter
and comfort to women and children in need. The design will pay homage to
the homes historic location and Federal architecture while offering modern
amenities and conveniences. Classic Federal interior elements; such as,
wainscoting, crown molding, and wallcoverings will be incorporated into
the space using modern, sustainable materials. The color palette of muted
shades of blues, yellow-gold, and creamy brown tines will create a calming
atmosphere in the main areas of the shelter while a more saturated and
colorful palette in the childrens areas will promote creativity and play.
Furnishings in wood tones will pair with soft textures and delicate patterns
to create a sense of balance in the space. All interior furnishings, fixtures,
and finishes will be durable, easy to care for, and universally accessible so
the users of the space can focus their time and energy on healing, growing,
and caring for their families. Boston house will be a safe and comfortable
environment for the women and children to call home
Color Theory Exercise
BOSTON HOUSE PALETTE 1
Color Theory Exercise
FIG. 1
This Federal inspired color palette features muted shades of green

and pumpkin with wheat and cream. It is a natural color palette and
will create a calming atmosphere in the home. Green is often
associated with nature, rebirth and revitalization and this aligns
perfectly with the goals of the transitional home. The color green
can also reduce stress and promote relaxation while orange can
promote socialization (All About the Color Green). This color
palette pays homage to the traditional Federal era color palette while
also promoting an atmosphere that is conducive to healing and
growth.
This color scheme is also a typical Federal era color palette. The
muted shades of blues, browns, and pumpkin with cream will
provide a calming atmosphere in the home. Again, the nature
inspired palette will bring the outdoors in and create a feeling of
serenity. The color blue can impart of a sense of constancy and
dependability as it is the color of the sky, ocean, and all water. It is
also considered the favorite color of most people, making it a great
choice for an environment that needs to be welcoming to a diverse
group. The pumpkin tones will encourage socialization and the
browns and creams will provide a nice neutral base (All About the
Color Blue).
FIG. 2
This Federal era inspired color palette features a combination

of dusky, muted rose tones and muted green with cream. This
scheme would work well in a transitional house for women
and children as pink tones have a distinctly feminine feeling.
Pink is also associated with happy and lighthearted emotions.
The combination of pink and green shades here brings to
mind the renewal and sense of rebirth often found in Spring.
Green is most often associated with nature and growth and
will be a perfect compliment to the rose colors. This color
palette will give the home a welcoming, serene feeling and
allow residents to feel comfortable and relaxed (All About
the Color Pink).
FIG. 3
BOSTON HOUSE FINAL PALETTE
FIG. 4
This Federal era inspired color palette features muted shades of

blues, browns, creams, and mustard. This color scheme will create a
calming atmosphere in the home. Again, the nature inspired palette
will bring the outdoors in, and create a feeling of serenity in the
space. The color blue can impart of a sense of constancy and
dependability as it is the color of the sky, ocean, and all water. It is
also considered the favorite color of most people, making it a great
choice for an environment that needs to be welcoming to a diverse
group. (All About the Color Blue). The mustard yellow will
impart a feeling of optimism and hope for the future. Yellow is a
lighthearted color that many associate with sunny days and
happiness. (All About the Color Yellow). This combination of
muted blues and yellows with gorgeous neutrals will make Boston
House a place of serenity and hope for the residents and visitors.

Federal Transitional Home, Boston, MA
By: Janay Royster
Wallcovering
Design Concept
Boston House will be a warm and welcoming space that provides shelter and
comfort to women and children in need. The design will pay homage to the
homes historic location and Federal architecture while offering modern
amenities and conveniences. Classic Federal interior elements; such as,
wainscoting, crown molding, and wallcoverings will be incorporated into the
space using modern, sustainable materials. The color palette of muted shades
of blues, yellow-gold, and creamy brown tines will create a calming
atmosphere in the main areas of the shelter while a more saturated and
colorful palette in the childrens areas will promote creativity and play.
Furnishings in wood tones will pair with soft textures and delicate patterns to
create a sense of balance in the space. All interior furnishings, fixtures, and
finishes will be durable, easy to care for, and universally accessible so the
users of the space can focus their time and energy on healing, growing, and
caring for their families. Boston house will be a safe and comfortable
environment for the women and children to call home

Project Design Justification and Course Reflection
Project Justification Statement

The final design solutions for the Transitional Home on 10 Bosworth Street. Boston, MA
successfully combines the local exterior aesthetic of the historic Federal style with a modern and
stylish atmosphere for the tenants that will encourage and inspire the women during their reentry
back into independence and society. The overall design is balanced in traditional materials and
furniture selections with accents of more modern finishes. The use of mahogany finishes and
other natural materials and finishes for the flooring and furniture are the most dominant aspects of
the design and directly invigorates and embodies the Federal style. By taking the basic concepts
of Federal interior stylemuted yet bold colors, patterned textiles, structural lighting, continuous
themes and motifs throughout an entire space, central focal points, and simplistic forms and
shapessupports the desired visual design concept of the project
The goal of the design solutions were to create a renewing atmosphere for the users as well as to
be functional, sustainable, and easy to maintain. The users needs were the most important factors
contributing to the overall design solutions, so by applying both universal design methods and the
residential building codes ensured the safety and security of each space and its design. All aspects
of the design has been thoroughly research, planned, and revised to configure a logical
relationship, egression, and progression through each space. The users will be strongly satisfied
with the strong, but welcoming visual impact of the final design solutions as well as the intended
diverse cultural backgrounds represented in the interior design style
Course Reflection
Course Reflection
Going into this course, I felt confident that I would do well, but I was not sure what to expect. Three concepts I can say
I am going to take away from this course are: utilizing traditional styles without making a space look dated, the benefit
of team projects/communication, and not being afraid to think outside the box to create a design solution. I did not
expect half of the assignments to be team assignments. I have had positive group assignments in the past, but nothing
to the scale of the assignments in this course. If real-life team assignments are anything like this course than I am
excited. My team members, Shell and Jennifer, were creative, self-starters, respectful, and simply wonderful; I cant
say how easy it was to get along and to complete assignments with them. Everyone pulled their own weight and it was
nice to have other designers to bounce ideas off of. Not that it could not be done, but I think it would have been a lot of
hours for just one person to complete all the assignments for this course by themselves without being overwhelmed.
This course was the first time I have had to design a space with a traditional influences. I have more experience with
more modern interior styles and finishes, so it was a challenge to find Federal style furniture that was authentic, but not
consume the budget. Typically, I have had to take traditional styles and just find the modern counterpart to that specific
style, but this time, the style was the focus. I learned to take the main concepts from a style and to tailor it to benefit
the users; take ques from a style, not just follow it to a core. Also, this project changed my opinion on traditional
styles. I use to think these styles were boring and had limited style offerings to people today; I thought it was more for
older people and a bit too cluttered. Now, I gave learned to see the beauty and universal appeal of traditional interiors.
Lastly, even though following directions and request is fine, sometimes taking the intuitive and being creative is better.
I had to trouble with creating different and functional furniture plans for the project with the selected dining table and
chairs I selected in one of the apartments. So, I had to create a built-in bar dinning area instead of trying to force the
original selections into the space. This taught me not to overthink or be confined to a particular set of options; be
creative and explore all possibilities.
Overall, I have had a pleasant experience with this course and I feel more confident in my residential designing
