Sustainable Design
Community Focused
Located on Williamson Street in Madison Wisconsin, two historic buildings are receiving a make-over to create a remarkable stay for visitors and locals alike. Located on one side of the building is Marie, a spunky restaurant inspired by local culture. Pangaea is located on the other side of the building, a completely sustainable boutique hotel. With unexpected elements around every corner, Marie is a space that encourages curiosity and original thinking. The design is dedicated to honoring all women, including famous women of history, with a modern twist. Each dish served is a unique combination of foods, never created anywhere else. This will surely be a space where memories will be made and ideas come to fruition. The space in which Marie and Pangaea lives will seamlessly combine the historic elements of the existing building with modern shapes and colors. The aesthetic will compliment Williamson Street’s unique artistic character by featuring one-of-a-kind murals. Marie’s main goal is honor and empower all women, while Pangaea’s goal is to offer an outstanding sustainable experience for visitors.

Community Focused The purpose of the NEXT design is to create a holistic and welcoming clinical space that delivers care outside of acute care facilities and into the community. The space will aid in curating deep connections between patients and practitioners by offering various comfortable and innovative environments. These environments, such as the work cafe and white-board collaboration areas, effectively promote eyeto-eye interactions that aid in building relationships and enable shared decision making. The space will integrate biophilic design through integration of green plants and organic shapes. Fear and anxiety on the part of the patient associated with clinical settings can make treatment more difficult or create barriers to initially seeking medical attention. Research has shown that connecting with nature can be an effective way to alleviate stress and anxiety, improving the user experience in healthcare environments.

Design Challenges
1
Create Connection
White Board Reception Area
NEXT aims to create a community between all users within the space; connecting clients with doctors, doctors with doctors, and clients with other clients. Upon arrival into the NEXT clinic, users are welcomed with a large white board. The white board features the prompt ‘NEXT I will...’. This is an area where users can freely express their thoughts, dreams, and goals. This also encourages innovation and playful thinking
2
Promote Transparency
Office Space
Being a holistic clinic, NEXT holds themselves accountable for expressing transparency in the workplace. Transparency and the ease of sharing knowledge and data is crucial to building trust in the healthcare industry, therefore the design of clinic conveys that same message. By opening up enclosed spaces through the use of layout and glass, patients feel more connected to the staff and their practitioner, therefore building trust.
3
Aid Communication
Exam Room
The relationship between practitioners and their patient is highly important when it comes to effective clinical care. When communication is clear a bond can form between patient and practitioner aiding in the healing or educational process. The design of the exam room cultivates these bonds by showcasing accessible multimedia communication boards, and efficient spatial organization that endorses eye-to-contact.
4
Further Education
Learning and Education Zone
This lifestyle and education zone offers is an area where workers and the community can connect through learning. With a monitor and white-board available, education becomes fast and easy. There is also a glass door between the learning zone and kitchen, giving users the opportunity to host cooking classes for large groups.

Circulation The building’s floor print allows for one main entrance and two main circulation paths for the users. Private spaces can be built within the two main circulation paths while open office work space can be built outside of the path. Social zones for spontaneous collaboration will be created where the two paths intersect.
Zones After establishing main circulation, it is now possible to layout zones. Public and social zones are located in the front of the house as well as next to intersections in the main circulation path. This encourages spontaneous collaboration when workers pass each other. Private and residential zones are gathered together, located at the back of the house. This allows to keep the main circulation while offering privacy from the public zones.
Open Office Space The Bivi by Turnstone modular desk-system was chosen for this space as it offers an array of seating options. The client wanted open work stations that would serve multiple users throughout the day. This set-up offers lounge and long-term seating, standing desks, and storage.

03 Horse Barn Hospitality Design Revit Madison Wisconsin
Sustainable Design
Community Focused
The historic horse barn has been a part of the UW-Madison campus for over 100 years. Remodeling the building for international scholars, artists, researchers and professors who travel to the university will allow the campus to showcase it’s history while providing a private environment for these special guests. The goal of remodeling the University of Wisconsin Madison’s Horse Barn is to create a comfortable yet professional space for international scholars, artists, researchers and professors who are working on campus. The building would provide a place for these visitors to stay for a number of weeks or months at a time, offering amenities such as a conference and meeting room, a coffee shop and other gathering spaces. The apartments will offer a taste of the Midwest while still keeping the integrity of the historic Horse Barn. This will be done by choosing materials that reflect Midwestern style, modern elements, and the original building’s structure.

The coffee bar stretches across the original front barn doors of the building opening the space up to the outdoors.
A Warm Welcome
The main welcoming lobby and coffee shop, The Trough, are easily accessible as they are positioned near the East sidewalk of the campus. While the short-term residents can utilize this space it is also open to the public creating a warm, communal atmosphere.
A Place to Relax With warm, natural materials and an open floor plan the living area and dining room offer a relaxed atmosphere for gathering. The wood pillars were modeled after the pillars original to the building keeping the historic horse barn’s authenticity.
The Kitchen In this hotel, residents will feel welcomed by the cozy yet dynamic kitchen. Part sealed concrete and part stainless steal, the counter top features unique materials with two waterfall edges. The center island is custom built with a butcher block top and a base constructed from locally sourced wood. All appliances are top-quality Sub-Zero Wolf products.
