RED ROCK HOSPITAL PEDIATRIC CANCER CENTER SENIOR YEAR COLLEGE THESIS
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT, VIRGINIA TECH
Inspired by Melbourne's iconic Red Bluff’s Cliff, the REDROCK center embodies the resilience and strength symbolized by this natural landmark. Similar to the cliff's interruption of the fluid ocean, the center stands as a solid force against the unpredictable journey of cancer, offering assured care for adolescents. The design mirrors the cliff's asymmetric balance, representing the center's grounding strength in the face of the disease's unpredictability. Like the sturdy ground facilitating safe travel on the cliff, Bluffs Center provides a secure and careful treatment environment. The cliff's symbolic significance extends to discovery, paralleling the birthplace of red sandstone and offering views of Melbourne’s marine life. Likewise, the facility provides pockets of space for learning and discovery, offering relief from trauma and supporting patients' growth. Through design elements inspired by the cliff, the space encourages strength, resilience, and bravery in patients facing their battle with cancer.

LUXURY LOUNGE OFFICE HEADQUARTERS LOUNGE RENOVATION
CO-LEAD DESIGNER; BASKERVILL
Situated adjacent to the elevator lobbies, the luxury lounge embodies the essence of the clients brand values while offering versatile functionality. The client's directive was to create a revitalizing experience in a traditional office space. Accordingly, the entryway acts as a transition point, characterized by a darker, moodier ambiance, leading into a softly illuminated space designed to invigorate and rejuvenate the mind. Within the entryway, the seven core brand principles are highlighted, illuminated by a candle emitting a personalized brand fragrance. The adjoining backroom serves as a multifunctional area, allowing guests to conduct semi-private meetings, present designs on the multi-panel wall, or simply take a momentary respite before continuing with the workday. For this project, I worked under my supervisor to make selections, craft mood boards, and develop renderings for her ultimate review and approval.
