//01 Redesigning the AC unit

Problem: Current air conditioners are long overdue for a redesign.

Frame 5

Solution: I used colors and materials that match home interiors and used plants to mask the AC unit.

Frame 7

//02 sunlight

Problem: Indoor plants is that they don't get enough sunlight. 

Frame 8

Process: I iterated through many rounds of modeling and sketches.

Frame 4

Solution: I used the saddle ac form, where the ac hangs on the window, to maximize the sunlight the plant would get.
