Guest House Togetherness

Introduction

This project transformed the old art gallery on Pratt's campus into a hospitality space for the campus. A hospitality space on campus should not just be a transient hotel building, but a potential common bond between Pratt's guests. The design will abandon the separate, cold, modular feeling of space created by traditional commercial hospitality spaces.

The design promotes a semi-community, cohesive, non-hierarchical hospitality living space. The semi-community lifestyle is established by semi-opening some of the private studios to increase sharing and communication among guests. While establishing a standardized single room design, new social relationships between residents are introduced.

WHERE? (SITE)

Rubelle and Norman Schafler Gallery located on the west side of campus.The total square footage used for the project is 3,600 +/- square feet [SF] [334+/- square meters [SM].[6 units total, four [4] single occupancy dwellings, two [2] double occupancy dwellings] on-site sketches & information

WHO? (USER)

Design Place of residence for 4 Pratt faculty, staff, students and their occasional guest and 4 Fort Green, Clinton Hill, non-Pratt affiliated and their occasional guests. The design provide them with mid-to-long-term living space and socially hierarchical activity space.

Spatial Strategy Modeling double

HOW? (CONCPET)

The hospitality space on campus should not be just a transient hotel building; there is an underlying common bond between Pratt's guests. The design aggregates individual units that are separate but adjacent to each other to form a single unit of residents and arranges them together to form a village like aggregated community lifestyle. As these units are placed on the site, their negative spaces are extracted and planned as common areas, setting the edges of each space as transparent semi-open kitchens. Where sharing, dining, communicating and community living will also take place, the design will provide a spatial "cohesion".

DINING AREA

PRIVIATE BEDROOM

The interior space is made up of natural materials with its own colors: oak wood, marble, sandstone and greenery for most of the visual area. At the same time, large areas of semi-open glass add to the permeability of the public spaces. The design aims to create a natural, warm, cohesive and classless feeling of interior space.
