Satellite office designed with the famous Boston Ferries/transit in mind. Throughout the space one glimpses into how transportation rides are quite like an office space. Space/transportation method is designed with human comfort in mind with goals of innovation, unity, safety, and experience. NEXT is a space where everyone can thrive in any mindset or layout.
Hybrid workpaces are great for human interaction. Socializing has many great benefits, these being a higher sense of purpose, social support, and an overall better community environment within the workspace. These areas are proven to provide employees with a greater productivity rate.
Not everyone works the same in all environments. It is very important to have areas that are not only private but a place that is acoustically sound as well as visually sound. Flexibility is a great goal to have when designing these focus areas. Every employee should feel comfortable in certain spaces of each office.
Collaboration areas are a great aspect to have in a working environment. Studies have shown that while having large meeting rooms are great for collaboration, it is also great to have flexible and comfortable collab areas where brainstorming can come to life.

Once Completely submurged under the Western Interior Seaway, Austin, Texas was formed by the layering of limestone from hundreds of volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Similarly, throughout life, a person can go through many eruptions in the form of experiences that create layers through the years that make up the person they are today.
The Reservoir Assisted living facility takes inspiration from this event and implements “layers” into the desgin and overall feeling of the space.
Choosing the right color matters because it can affect people’s moods, concentration, learning, behavior, and more. Color, for example, plays a significant role when designing senior living communities. Seniors may struggle with glare and distinguishing colors between rooms. We recommend selecting paint that reduces glare and lies in the middle of the light reflective value spectrum (LRV). Paint colors with 40-60 LRV are usually a good range. Visual cues are also necessary to help reduce confusion when distinguishing rooms such as the bathroom and the bedroom.
When choosing furniture for senior living facilities, there must be careful consideration and attention to the fabric selection, design and functionality of the furniture, and whether the material is compliant with health regulations.
Fabric and Material: it is often suggested to choose one that is easy to clean and low maintenance. We recommend selecting one that is stain resistant and has a high wear resistance for healthcare and hospital use.
Lighting in Assisted Living Facilities requires very good lighting. The safety and well-being of elderly patients depends on a bright, well-lit environment that provides a sense of comfort and ease. Proper lighting also plays a vital role in health and healing processes.
Transitional lighting that is bright during the day, and dim at night, offers a balanced light source that mimics natural daylight. In facilities with limited exposure to natural daylight, this type of lighting design helps keep patients alert and in better moods during daytime, while allowing them to sleep soundly throughout the night.
Equipped with HIPPA privacy screens placed outside of patient view along with the custom limestone reception desk. The custom reception desk also includes a ADA accessible transaction surface on the left. Ceiling is designed with layers and acoustics in mind, these aspects allow for privacy as well as an overall welcoming feel for residents and guest.
The library is designed with acoustics in mind. Provided in the space is a water feature to create white noise throughout the space, and acoustical carpet tile is used in the social area. The layering of different types of lighting fixtures and flooring represents the different stages of life, emphasizing the concept.
Equipped with a full service kitchen and a variety of seating accommodates and promotes community between the guest, staff, and most importantly the residents. Ceiling and walls display layers of lighting in the space and are dimmable for different times of day and or events to satisfy the residents.
Layered floor and wall finish types tie in the concept while providing residents a soft carpet surrounding the bed. An abundance of storage space is available as well as clear access to the ADA restroom and suite entrance/exit.
The London Bridge today looks quite different from the original London Bridge. “The London” shows a few aspects from both bridges and uses simplicity as well as maximalism all in one design piece.
When the simple wood/steel laminate pieces meet the assortment of slats, “The London” is created.
