Problem Statement The Boutique Hotel is a roughly 20,968 square feet U.S. company based building in Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia with a population of 5,000,000 people. It is a diverse city with over 57.7 million visitors per year. In 2006, 33.2% of its residents were born outside of Australia and the city continues to attract masses of immigrants over the years. Melbourne’s population consists of mainly British and Irish ancestry at 43.3% with 28.2% reported to have Australian ancestry. The city has a growing population of 18.2% of Asian descent including 6.5% reported to be Chinese. It is important for hotel design to consider all cultures and varying socio-demographics of people in order to acheive a space that will improve quality of life for all.
Thesis Statement Well-being is the state of alignment with the mind, body and spirit. In hospitality design it can be implemented by following the Well Building Standard. WELL has been proved to improve nutrition, health, fitness, sleep and overall mood of users influenced by its principles. It is a performance-based system that tracks features of the built environment that directly impact human health and well-being. When designing a space using the Well Building Standard it must address physical, psychological, social, and ecological dimensions to have the most positive affect on individuals.

After graduation she has accepted a position to work for Marriott’s Hospitality Program in Washington, D.C. She will be consulted throughout the project for help with programming and advice from a business perspective.
CLIENT There are multiple clients like tourists, tenants, and the hotel owner that all have a variety of needs for the Boutique Hotel. Tourists and tenants both need amenities for them to live and enjoy their time at the hotel that also promotes a better quality of life. Specifically, tenants need a connection to the community through program spaces like the restaurant and rooftop bar that make the hotel seem more like a home. The hotel owner is looking for a space that invites guests to return and provides a luxurious experience unlike an other in Melbourne. A lot of this can be achieved through branding and programming to distinguish the hotel. 6

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
TRANSPORTATION
Victoria, Australia is a mid-sized economy which is larger than Singapore, New Zealand and most of South East Asia increasing by an average of 2.4 per cent annually. Around 3.2 million people are employed in Victoria. The economy transitioned from being heavily reliant on a declining manufacturing sector to a diversified economy with significant growth in professional and financial & insurance services.
Melbourne’s public transportation is the easiest and best way to get around the city. It includes the world’s largest tram network, a privatized public transport system comprising trains, trams, and buses. Trains are the main mode of transport throughout the greater Melbourne area. Throughout the central business district trams are the main form of transport and run up and down most main streets. Bike share, car share, and taxis are also forms of transportation in the city. 9

HYATT ANDRARES
L’HOTEL
MIST
It is important to use precedent studies when conducting research as it aids the design process from concept all the way to the final design. Precedents are used as an inspiration for design. These 3 case studies give an idea or guide to understanding the needs of the Boutique Hotel and some of its goals. They will help solve problems throughout the design process, serve as a vision for the space, provide potential insights into programming, materiality, concept, site, architectural elements and the direction of the project moving forward.

PRECEDENT
Case study #1 HYATT REGENCY ANDRARES LOCATION: Jalisco, Mexico DESIGNER: Sordo Madaleno Architects YEAR: 2017 AREA: 57,210 sq ft. This building is a part of a visionary urban complex that has positioned the Puerta de Hierro zone as a new center for the city of Zapopan. The hotel acts as a visual and spatial backdrop to the interior street of Paseo Andares, complementing the urban layout of the city. The building rises to 41 stories above street level while the ground floor is part of a public plaza that connects to the interior street and functions as the lobby of the hotel.
17
PRECEDENT
In terms of the program, it is similar to the Boutique Hotel. The hotel is larger using the lowest 12 floors and leaving the top 28 floors for residential apartments. Floor 13 is allocated to the transfer of services and installations used by both program types. The hotel experience begins from the ground floor motor lobby, which includes several retail spaces, together with meeting rooms and a mini ballroom in response to the commercial requirements of the area. On the following levels, the hotel amenities such as the lobby lounge, bar, restaurant and the main ballroom are on the first floor, while the pool, gym, and an exclusive members club are located on the next floor up. The pool provides the central element of the residential amenities, occupying a doubleheight floor with an open, south-facing terrace, while a multipurpose room is located on the east side of the building close to the elevators.
18
PRECEDENT
The ground floor comprises the lobby which welcomes people to the residences. The 257 luxury hotel rooms occupy floors 2 to 12. Starting on floor 14, the residences occupy 1,080 sqm per level, with a total of 105 apartments that range from 125 sqm to 250 sqm, giving space for two penthouses on the tower’s top floors. To complement each interior and provide warmth, an artistic collaboration was made with César López- Negrete.

Case study #2 L’HOTEL LOCATION: Paris, France DESIGNER: Jacques Garcia YEAR: 2000 refit L’Hotel was the world’s first boutique hotel. The Hôtel d’Alsace, it’s original name, became notorious at the end of the 19th century when the celebrated Irish thinker and writer Oscar Wilde moved in and ultimately died here. Numerous artists, philosophers and musicians from around the world used this hotel as a meeting place. The building underwent a refit in 2000 influenced by the ornate style of Napoleon III referred to as Second Empire.
20
PRECEDENT
The interior layout, cellars and marble ground floor is consistent with the original Hôtel d’Alsace. The dining room and decoration in the rooms changed with the remodel. Each room is unique with its own atmosphere and originality. This hotel is a great representation of a luxurious and unique environment that is memorable. The level of detail, materiality, and colors makes the space feel mysterious. The L’Hotel tells a story of the history of the building, staying true to architectural features while putting an updated spin on the interior. Alone, the hotel stands to represent the creative and social culture that allured so many people in the 1960s. It reflects a past time in history giving people an experience unlike any other.

Case study #3 MIST HOT SPRING HOTEL LOCATION: Henan, China DESIGNER: Department of Architecture YEAR: 2018 AREA: 400,000 sq ft. The location of the Mist Hot Spring Hotel has been considered the nation’s most famous hot spring destination spot. The best natural attribute of the site its geothermal underground water. As the heated water is brought up, it gives off mist that floats above the water surface. The project attempts to heighten the experience of the user through blurring the landscape. The building masses, passageways and water-scape are integrated with natural steam from hot-spring pools and some additional mechanized fog that surrounds the overall atmosphere, creating a unique experience.
22
PRECEDENT
Some of the hues are first seen on the hotel facades where clear tempered glazing alternates with blue or magenta translucent vinyl panels. Natural light casts the colors throughout the interior, including in each of the 51 guest rooms. The inspiration comes from the colorized black and white films in the early 1900s when an artist would handpaint transparent layers of colors onto black and white films. Inspiration for the interior comes from the beauty of the hot spring steam itself. Architecturally-scaled, site-specific installations, exploring natural phenomenon, and relating to mist and water are designed and installed throughout the hotel as the main elements that tie the entire experience together. Public spaces are unified by a series of glass installations suggesting light and water. In the cocktail lounge, thousands of crystal beads hang from the ceiling like a suspended rain shower. In the ballroom, a matrix of acrylic rings lit by color-changing LEDs hover above a wool-nylon carpet in a complementary pattern like being surrounded by clouds.

EXTENDED RESEARCH
Thesis Focus The WELL Building Standard combines the best practices in design and construction with in depth evidence-based medial and scientific research. It is the world’s first building standard focused solely on human health and wellness. WELL harnesses the built environment as a vehicle to support individual well-being. Throughout our lives we spend more than 90 percent of our time in buildings. WELL uses their medical research to explore the connection between buildings and health and wellness impacts on people. There are 7 main concepts—air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort, and mind—that WELL sets as performance requirements in order to become certified. They are all relative to the built environment and occupant health. WELL is used to create spaces in the built environment that improve nutrition, fitness, mood, sleep patterns, and performance of users. The built environment has direct and indirect effects on mental health. As our society continues to change, more people have started to address mental health as a growing concern on the world. An example of a mental disorder seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that occurs in relation to the amount of exposure to daylight. Individuals chronically exposed to shorter hours of daylight suffer more sadness, fatigue, and, clinical depression. Designers may use the physical environment to influence mental health and combat these issues by altering psychosocial processes. Personal control, socially supportive relationships, and restoration from stress and fatigue are all affected by properties of the built environment. Views of nature, fireplaces, fountains, aquariums, and animals as well as paintings of landscapes and other tranquil scenes use restoration to improve human quality of life. Spaces where people can briefly get away and be alone are used to create environments to re-energize and de-stress. Design elements other than nature have the potential to enhance restorative processes within settings. Architectural features that support fascination, curiosity, or involuntary attention enhance recovery from mental fatigue. With this information on the built environment and mental health, the most pressing need is better understanding of the psychosocial and biological processes linking the two together. This type of understanding would enable consideration of the built environment along with contextual factors to be incorporated into more ecologically valid models that will lead to advancements on human health and wellness. 24

EXTENDED RESEARCH
Thermal
Buildings can achieve a better balance between occupant comfort and energy efficiency by separating temperature controls and fresh air supply systems. All lobbies and other common spaces must meet the requirements set forth in ASHRAE Standard 552013 for thermal comfort through hydronic heating and/or cooling systems or electric radiant floorings. Personal thermal controls may also be implemented in order to satisfy all occupants at the same time. Individual performance can be affected by the temperature of a space with 4% reduction at warmer temperatures and a 6 % reduction at cooler temperatures.
When exposed to distracting noise individual performance drops to around 66%. Some acoustic concerns for a space are sound pressure level, reverberation time, and mechanical equipment sound levels. Designers can reduce these issues by using sound masking, sound reducing surfaces, and sound barriers to mitigate uncomfortable acoustic disruptions.
Acoustic
Air Quality
The main sources of indoor air quality concern are inadequate ventilation, contamination from inside building, contamination from outside building, microbial contamination, and contamination from building fabric. Concentration of some pollutants can be 2 to 5 times higher indoors compared to outdoors. As a result of better air quality, productivity has been shown to increase at 8-11% of improvement. Air quality can be improved through VOC reduction, increased ventilation, humidity control, operable windows, and antimicrobial surfaces.

Observational research For my partner research project with Bridget Mclean we visited the Inn at Virginia Tech 5 separate times at different times of the day. Each day we collected observations on how people moved and interacted in the space. We took photos, notes, sketched behavioral maps, and made traffic, hot spot, and activity maps. Through our observations we focused on spaces to use in our program such as the bar, kitchen, restaurant, conference, seating, and community space, noting their adjacency to each other to help inform our program placement for the Boutique Hotel. We recorded the most popular, loudest, and most welcoming time of day. Each space was highly active at different times of the day.

Attention Restoration Theory The Attention Restoration Theory by Rachel and Stephen Kaplan suggests that exposure to nature can help to renew our attention capacity. It helps explain human responses to sensory information, particularly in the environment and addresses the problem of directed attention fatigue.
The attention restoration theory builds on the notion that humans often seek out nature when stressed. Example: Taking a walk in a park, or targeting a tropical destination for a vacation, provide outlets for physical activity, relaxation, and rest.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO INTERIOR DESIGN? Both interior and exterior environments contain a number of stimuli which are senses can react too. Understanding how environmental influences affect human functions and wellbeing is essential to good design. 2 types of attention integral to human cognitive functioning ART is based on: Involuntary attention or effortless attention: -When attention is drawn towards something we experience as interesting -When something exciting or interesting happens and we focus upon it without effort -Restoration of mental energy
The attention restoration theory is an example of a stimulation theory. Stimulation Theories: Stimuli- sight, sound, touch, taste, smell
Periodic, effortless exposure to nature can have a significant impact on lowering levels of stress in a setting that allows directed attention to rejuvenate. The benefits of exposure to nature through the use of photos, artistic depictions, colors and sounds also can be realized in the designed environment.
Examples:
sight of a puppy
sound of ambulance
Voluntary or directed attention: -Focusing on something that does not draw our attention by itself Examples:
driving in a snowstorm
last minute assignment
Direct attention can fail (ex. overworked muscles) Attentional deficit: inability to concentrate
Each of our 5 senses can be over or under stimulated Threshold: the point at which too much or too little stimulation is available.
Restorative Experiences: occur in settings where we can function primarily in involuntary mode
One end is the absolute minimum intensity of stimuli we can perceive.
Key Components in Restorative Environments:
The other is the maximum amount of stimuli we can cope with effectively.
-fascination: achieved through a part of or a whole setting that easily engages attention thereby allowing fatigued attention to rest
Weber Fechner Law: states that as we get “used to” a level of stimuli we need a greater intensity of stimulus in order for us to notice a change . Arousal perspective: the environment itself causes an automatic physiological response such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, adrenaline, secretion, and neural activity within the brain
Sleep is one remedy for restoring voluntary attention, but clearly not always the most convenient.
-extent: provided by a setting that is complex enough to engage the mind and promote exploration (experience of totality and meaning) -compatibility: matching the characteristics of the environment and the needs and behaviors of the individual
Example: Needing more time and energy to learn and retain information People often required to complete tasks that would be considered uninteresting, needing to closely focus one’s attention. Situations requiring mental focus eventually create fatigue and reduce cognitive functioning.
-being away: provided by a setting that is either physically or conceptually different from an individual’s typical setting
Negative Consequences of Mental Fatigue: - Aggressiveness - Less tolerance - Reduced sensitivity to social signals - Less helpfulness - Reduced self-control - “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”

The attention restoration theory provides a valuable framework to demonstrate how nature can play a role in creating a workspace that supports physical and psychological wellbeing Encourages the restoration of the directed attention needed for daily human functioning.

A.R.T. The Attention Restoration Theory by Rachel and Stephen Kaplan suggests that exposure to nature can help renew our attention capacity. It helps explain human responses to sensory information, particularly in the environment and addresses the problem of directed attention fatigue. Both interior and exterior environments contain a number of stimuli which are senses can react too. Understanding how environmental influences affect human functions and wellbeing is essential to good design. There are two types of attention integral to human cognitive functioning. Attention restoration is built on: involuntary and voluntary attention. Involuntary attention is when something exciting or interesting happens—when we focus upon it without effort (ex: the sight of a puppy or ambulance). Voluntary attention is focusing on something that does not draw our attention by itself (ex: driving in a snowstorm). The Attention Restoration Theory builds on the notion that humans often seek out nature when they become stressed. Taking a walk in a park or targeting a tropical destination for a vacation provides outlets for physical activity, relaxation, and rest. Focusing on providing restorative environments in the Boutique Hotel will serve to improve the quality of life of tourists and tenants that use the space. This can be done by creating a setting that easily engages people, providing by a setting that is either physically or conceptually different from an individual’s typical setting and matching the characteristics of the environment to the needs and behaviors of the individual.

COLOR RESEARCH HOSPITALITY DESIGN While certain colors generally invoke the same reactions in most people, it’s still important to note that shade and saturation can drastically change their character. Light colors are generally perceived as airy and make rooms feel brighter and more spacious. Dark colors, however, suggest sophistication and intimacy. Blues are some of the most universally liked colors: They are generally associated with calmness and serenity, and are therefore some of the best choices for bedrooms and bathrooms. Associated with wealth—opulence and fantasy—purple has become the favored color among designers in the hospitality industry. Blending the confidence of red with the calming nature of blue also adds a sophisticated feel to the space. Color has physiological effects in design and will be used to advance way-finding, navigation techniques, and branding in the Boutique Hotel. AUSTRALIA Green and gold are Australia’s national colors. Gold is symbolic of Australia’s beaches, mineral wealth, grain harvests and the fleece of Australian wool. Green evokes the forests, eucalyptus trees and pastures of the Australian landscape. PRIMARY colors are red, yellow and blue. SECONDARY colors are created by mixing two primary colors. TERTIARY colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colors.

MATERIALS RESEARCH LOCALLY SOURCED Geologically, Australia is an ancient continent with an abundant supply of minerals. Western Australia and Queensland are the most resource rich states. Of Australia’s roughly three hundred and forty operating mines, almost half are in WA. Australia is the world’s leading producer of bauxite, alumina, rutile, and tantalum; It is the second largest producer of lead, ilmenite, zircon and lithium; the third largest producer of iron ore, uranium and zinc; the fourth largest producer of black coal, gold, manganese and nickel; and the fifth largest producer of aluminum, brown coal, diamonds, silver and copper. Additionally, Australia is the world’s largest exporter of black coal, iron ore, and lead. In Australia, the mining of natural stone is regulated, and cannot be undertaken outside the strict guidelines imposed on the industry. Local stone travels shorter distances to its destination which means significantly lower carbon emissions.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS Mainly solid brick, clad frame, brick veneer, and post and beam construction. Flooring methods are usually either concrete slab or stumps. Roof framing is done by either a truss or a pitched system.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESEARCH When it comes to the inner city there is a sea of wealthy blue suburbs, particularly in the inner east. There are pockets of red disadvantaged areas on Melbourne’s fringe, in suburbs such as Dandenong and Broadmeadows. Zoomed into the city there are some purple areas such as Clayton, Whittlesea and Bayswater, which fall somewhere in the middle of the income scale. These could be considered “low middle income.” The areas of Melbourne that are further from the central business district increase relative levels of disadvantage moving out of the city.
The map shows the most disadvantaged areas of in red and the most advantaged areas in blue.
More than a third of Chinese-born residents in Victoria live in areas that are ranked in the top 20 per cent of suburbs when it comes to advantage. Those born in China tend to flock to wealthier areas of Melbourne’s such as Glen Waverley and Box Hill, which often have good schools. Toorak has been known as Melbourne’s wealthiest suburb; however, has lost to East Melbourne due to the large proportion of retiring community members. More than a third of Victorians born in Vietnam live in the most disadvantaged 10 per cent of suburbs. Overall, among people born in Australia there is a relatively even distribution between people living in disadvantaged or more well-off areas.

LEED projects earn points across nine basic areas that address key aspects of green buildings. LEED works for all buildings at all phases of development, from new construction to existing buildings, as well as all building sectors, from homes to hospitals to corporate headquarters.
9 basic areas 1. Integrative Process 2. Location & Transportation 3. Sustainable Sites 4. Water Efficiency 5. Energy & Atmosphere 6. Materials & Resources 7. Indoor Environmental Quality 8. Innovation 9. Regional Priority
