Sarah Baeumler Proposal RMHC Atlantic

“Living beautifully doesn’t stop at how things look; it’s how they feel, what they are made of, where they come from, and ultimately, how they cohesively work together.”

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, ATLANTIC MAIN LEVEL ZONING & CIRCULATION PLAN

We begin our design process by studying the plan to carve out different zones and circulation paths within the floor plan This allows us to find a logical commonality between different areas which we will reinforce with our selections and colour palettes

For this presentation we have divided the main front of house areas into three zones:

Functional Areas

Circulation

Pr mary circulation

Secondary circulation

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, ATLANTIC MAIN LEVEL CONCEPTUAL INSPIRATION

Conceptual Inspiration: The Halifax Commons

Located in the centre of the Halifax Peninsula, "the Commons" dates back to the settlement of the city and has been at the centre of civic life ever since

It has continuously evolved to fit the needs and changing lifestyle of the community It's home to open, recreational and sporting facilities, providing versatility, vibrancy and a richly layered city centre

Just like "the Commons", the Ronald McDonald House Atlantic is in the heart of Halifax, open and welcome to everyone within the Atlantic provinces It is a home, away from home a place where each family can engage in daily life in a supportive and inclusive environment surrounded by natural elements

We draw inspiration from the Commons not just for the natural colour palette it provides, but for what it represents

MCDONALD HOUSE, ATLANTIC MAIN LEVEL CONCEPT

NURTURING UNITED EXPANSIVE

Building from the overarching concept of the Halifax Commons, we propose taking the public spaces and breaking them into zones that celebrate one of the three core ideas of the RMHC: nurturing, united, and expansive The above images also help create a colour palette for the different spaces

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, ATLANTIC MAIN LEVEL: APPLYING THE CONCEPT

In this stage of the design process we merge the zoning and circulation plan with our three core ideas that have emerged from our design concept: the Halifax Commons

Within the plan, each area provides an opportunity for people to come together in different ways: from the initial greeting area developed around the concept of unity, to areas that are more nurturing to those that allow for active and expansive activity
