Through organic reflection, customers may adapt and evolve with the changing frontier of L a Moda, its jewelry, and it’s overall reflection of the world around us.
LA MODA J E W E L R Y + R E T A I L D E S I G N | C H I C A G O, I L L I N O I S ABOUT THE BRAND L a Moda was founded and designed to give user’s the power of customization and choice when purchasing high end jewelry. With the ability to pick stones, gems, and finishes (within the store, or online) customers may witness the creation of their personalized pieces as well as the connection between earth and man. ABOUT THE DESIGN The retail design for L a Moda follows the concept of organic reflections. Through this idea remains a balance between the natural world and a world of modernity and progress. Looking at the COVID-19 pandemic, the developed world has fallen in its ability to adapts many of the evolving tendencies of nature: to emerge as the world does. Through this concept, the idea of reflection may encourage people of the space to reflect on not only on the experience within L a Moda, but also on the ever changing world surrounding us: that of the natural and man-made world. By contrasting natural materials, such as terrazzo and concrete, with luxurious materials, such as gold and glass, the space will exhibit the cultivation of natural elements into the human life. A contrast between curvilinear and geometric lines will create a sense of harmony among the juxtaposing elements with clear separation and movement through the space.

KOKOR O H O L I S T I C W E L L N E S S C E N T E R | TA L L A H A S S E E, F LO R I DA A BOU T T H E P R O JE C T This adaptive reuse project will re-imagine an abandoned commercial building at 1625 Apalachee Parkway in Tallahassee, Florida. The 43,700 SF facility will be restructured to serve the surrounding community by creating jobs and providing a facility to enhance the lives and livelihoods of Tallahassee residents. Western culture’s idea of health is often fragmented, leaving pieces of human care neglected. CONCEPT The Japanese word Kokoro, “heart” in English, embodies the idea of holistic care through the centering of one’s mind, body and spirit. Through this concept, wellness is redefined as the complete care of one’s being rather than the physical body. The Kokoro facility will be an inclusive environment offering various activities and services to promote this state of wellbeing. Embodying the balance of Kokoro, a juxtaposition of rectilinear and curvilinear lines will create a sense of harmony throughout the architecture and design. Large windows and natural materials will connect the design to nature and its importance within Japanese culture. Contrastingly, modern colors provide a sense of boldness and energy to the design. The center will embody the idea of mind, body and soul through the reflection and representation of the balance achieved through Kokoro. M ISSI ON S TATE ME N T Here at Kokoro, our mission is to provide a facility for holistic wellness that promotes a connection between one’s mind, body, and soul. By offering a range of activities and services, our goal is to foster opportunities for a like-minded connection within the community of Tallahassee, Florida.

The clinic is on the 14th floor of the building, which is located at 875 North Michigan Avenue (formerly known as the John Hancock Center). The primar y care clinic focuses on preventative care and sees patients by appointment only. Some of the services the clinic provides include: wellness visits, physicals, vaccinations, screenings for illness, and acute illness and/or injury care.

Inspired by the Miami tribe’s word for one, Nkoti, this idea works to connect all people while celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of individuality.

Tabs are used as a tool for communication among the practitioners while clear signage assists patients in wayfinding and circulation. The backlighting on the room numbers draws attention to the signage while adding visual interest and heightened contrast. The glass pane in the center of each door is high tech frosted glass that is clear when the room is vacant and frosted when it is occupied. This creates an easy system for keeping track of usage while still providing privacy and control for patients.

The 123 Park Overlook home was selected to be designed for an aging couple in Sarasota, Florida. After client and location research, the 8,000 square foot, single story home was spatially divided to display the client’s desires for a space to host friends and family, cook, and express their eclectic style from traveling. The couple desired for the home to follow ADA requirements for the ability to age in place. The floor plan of the home was designed using AutoCAD. Furniture and finish selections were made and then drawn in AutoCAD. This was then Hand Rendered. Perspectives were developed using SketchUp and then rendered by hand and enhanced with Photoshop.

RED UX C O R G A N I N T E R N S H I P S U M M E R 2 0 2 0 H U G O P R O J E C T | G R E A T PA C I F I C G A R B A G E PA T C H P R O J E C T B R I E F: Every minute of every single day, a truck’s-worth of plastic enters the ocean. Scientists have calculated that by 2050 the water will contain more plastic than fish. Much of this plastic is broken down and transported by ocean currents to accumulate in massive floating islands of garbage. In addition, plastic garbage in the ocean infiltrates and devastates reefs at an alarming rate; systematically poisoning, wounding, and infecting corl communities, leaving stark white skeletons in their place. n order to combat these issues, our team has developed the Regenerative Design & Under sea Additive Manufactur ing (Redux). Redux is inspired by nature’s ability to be resilient and agile while adapting to an unprecedented amount of humancentric pollution and waste in the oceans. The project utilizes pr inciples of biomimicr y, based on a star fish, to redefine the typology of a recycling center integrated with a mar ine biology research facility.
PROJECT GOAL:
Currently in total, there is about 8.3 billion tons of garbage throughout the five international oceanic garbage patches. Moreover, these dumps of plastic kill around a million animals each year and cost nations billions of dollars to try and conserve. When looking further into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an estimated 99% of the waste is plastic and 70% of that said plastic sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Whether it be from dumping from land to rivers or through marine activity and oil rigs, the main cause of plastic entering the ocean is from human activity. The goal of our project is to collect a large por tion of this plastic and reuse it in a sustainable and useful manner while also mitigating the amount of plastic enter ing the ocean by expanding this project to r iver s globally.
