Tallahassee Educational Attainment by Sex over 25
Tallahassee is the state capital of Florida and the county seat of Leon County. Tallahassee is located in North West Florida with a growing population by 4.7% in the last five years, which is slightly more than the US average of 4.1%, but a long way below the Florida average of 7.8%. The wider Tallahassee metropolitan area includes four of Florida’s counties (Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, and Wakulla) with a population of 375,571 people according to 2014 data. Tallahassee has diverse demographics with various ethnic groups, educational backgrounds, income levels, and age groups. The city of Tallahassee will be a perfect place to open a multi-purpose wellness facility, such as The Oasis. With an unemployment rate of 11% the facility will provide dozens of job opportunities to unemployed people in the Tallahassee community. The facility will offer services to cater to men, women, and children of all ages.

LEFT Although population growth in Tallahassee has slowed over the past five years, there was a boom in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. In the 1980s, for example, the population grew by 53% – from 81,548 people in 1980 to 124,773 people in 1990. This was followed by two consecutive decades where growth was more than 20%. Growth has been slower in recent years (4.7% between 2010 and 2015) and is likely to be slightly over 10% for the period 2010 to 2020.

RIGHT Around 1970, the population of Tallahassee almost doubled from the decade before. Currently, Tallahassee has the most educated population in Florida – almost half of all residents have a Bachelors degree or higher. This is partly because the city is home to Florida State University and Florida A&M University, and partly because it is the state capital and home to the Florida state government.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Based on the demographic statistics of Tallahassee, there are 191,000 people living in Tallahassee area. The Tallahassee population density is 1,792 people per square mile, which is much higher than the state average density of 294 people per square mile and is much higher than the national average density of 83 people per square mile. In addition, the congested traffic patterns within the city makes it fair to assume that there are a lot of busy, stressed individuals. The income salary of the region range from under $10,000 to over $200,000 with an unemployment rate of 11%. Based on the range of income levels, the facility will need to be an affordable monthly rate. Based on statistics listed by CNN, the obesity rate in Tallahassee is 29.7%. With the high obesity percentage, it is evident that health and wellness is an issue in Tallahassee.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Tallahassee has a diverse population of both families, young people, and elderly citizens. With an affordable, monthly membership fee, Tallahassee residents can benefit from a facility that will accommodate the needs of a multipurpose facility for children and adults. The facility includes a fitness center to keep residents of Tallahassee in good health as well as group training classes of yoga and spinning. There is a relaxation spa for adults to rejuvenate at the pool, jacuzzi, or massage rooms. The cafe area offers carefully crafted food and drink selections, which will encourage members to be mindful of their nutrition. The children’s zone enables parents to have the freedom to workout and refresh without worrying about their children. The 42,000 SQ FT recreational center will bring community closer together, provide patrons with inviting atmosphere, inspire for wellness, and offer a overall magical experience.
JUSTIFICATION
The solution will benefit the city of Tallahassee by providing a multi-purpose space for community members to interact and collaborate with the opportunity to host parties and venues for community events. The facility will provide a range of opportunities for individuals, family households, and employees. For example, the facility will offer dozens of employment opportunities, which will add to the tax base as well as local economy. The facility will also improve the neighborhood by changing an empty storefront to a multipurpose facility while improving the aesthetic of the exterior of the building. The Oasis center will offer services for children to stay engaged in extracurricular activities after school as well as childcare for toddlers. By incorporating the children’s area, it becomes feasible for families to come to the facility. The various amenities in one location will save time for community members, reduce the carbon footprint, and save money with an all-inclusive membership fee.

MITSIS RENELA
Location: Creta, Greece Architect: Vasilis Mpountopoulos Project Year: 2018
This beach spa resort is located adjacent to the ocean. The resort is composed of five different areas centralized on healing and rejuvenation. The architectural elements of the spa are inspired by natural materials and local plants are placed throughout. The warm variety of lighting fixtures creates a welcoming and inviting experience for the visitors. Natural materials such as stone and wood are the dominant elements that create a dialogue with the landscape. The combination of natural elements and varied lighting enhances the user experience.
Beautiful landscape surrounds the structure. The structure is enhancing nature instead of taking away from it by utilizing local landscaping
This is a lounge space located next to the pool for visitors to come and enjoy the beautiful waters and nature surrounding the spa.
A contemporary resort is shaped through the need for functionality in combination with the natural landscape and visual stimulation.
Key elements taken into consideration of this design is the contrast between light with shadow and the use of natural materials.

MFITNESS
Location: Austria Architect: Smertnik Kraut Project Year: 2015
This re-purposed space was previously an indoor tennis court and is now an advanced gym. The design is industrial with color accents of blue. The bottom level is for communal training whereas the upper floor offers private space for work outs. This gym has space for communication, wellness, seating, terraces, and privacy. There are rooms for group training as well as spaces for rejuvenation in the sauna. The juice bar is conveniently located at the main entrance of the space. It includes seating to refresh after a workout or to complete some office work.
The entrance of the space utilizes an arrow icon as a way finding towards the brightly lit interior.

From this case study, our firm has taken away that providing natural light in a spacious, clean environment would serve as a beneficial location to motivate guests to participate in more physical exercise consistently.
The spin room utilizes light to emphasize the blue hue and a curve formation most cyclists will have views to the mirrors for motivation.
NAUEN CENTER
Location: Germany Architect: NPS Tchoban Voss Project Year: 2015
The first-place winning building design proposal will give a new purpose and life to an old facility. The old municipal outdoor swimming pool is being replaced. It is located in Germany, so realistically, could only be used predominantly during warmer seasons. Instead of just this one very specific function, architects though about a solution that would serve several interests and activities. The facility will now be used all year around Floor-to-ceiling glass walls were designed to allow natural light in, but to prevent overheating, tripleglazed panels with external solar shades were used.
The facility will offer ping-pong, playgrounds, volleyball, and mini-golf all in the close proximity for easy access.
From this case study, our firm has taken away that utilizing a preexisting building would benefit our project. We would like to create a sustainability-centered building that incorporates biophilia. With its multiple purposes, guest will have the ability to use the center for more than one need.
This building is insulated with green roof, and facade is insulated with timber panels and window coverings for maximum efficiency.
10
CONCEPT
The concept behind this project is “Oasis,� which is inspired by a rejuvenating fountain. The space gains its inspiration from the need of the demographic for a place where members not only can challenge themselves with a good workout, but receive a full-service, rejuvenatory experience. This space will offer recreational services, full relaxation spa services, as well as carefully selected nutritious boosts. By incorporating biophilia inside and out as well as vernacular materials, patrons can reconnect with nature without leaving the city. This will provide efficient insulation and blend the exterior of the building into its surroundings. The space will showcase architectural elements and efficient lighting techniques, contrasting colors for visual stimulation, and a mixture of geometric and curvilinear elements for the aesthetic appeal. All of these elements will create a refreshing experience for visitors to enjoy the various dynamic atmospheres.
