PROJECT 01 - SITE ANALYSIS
8
SITE ANALYSIS Oakland is sitting in an excellent geographical position. It has beautiful landscape spots in Oakland Hills and Lake Merritt. Additionally, it’s very close to Alameda, which hosts the largest vintage market each month. People are coming to that market from San Francisco. Downtown Oakland is a lively commercial community, and the main architectures are the mid-1800s to 1940s storefronts with some gorgeous examples of art deco. The main street of downtown is Broadway. The HGI Hotel’s main entrance is facing broadway, and the parking access is from the 15th St. This project’s location brings dining and transportation convenience to hotel’s customers; additionally, the Cathedral building and the Tribune tower are well-known icons opposite the hotel. Moreover, the adjacent service and feature spots attract people who like to explore food and art.

PROJECT 01 - BUILDING ANALYSIS
10
BUILDING ANALYSIS Challenge:
• The noise from the street transportation impacts the west of the building, and the court’s noise affects the private guest space. • There is no solar gain from the south of the building. • The construction wall and shaft wall are too close to replan space.
Opportunities:
• The west of the building has daylight and a city view. • The court and patio have full light access by the sun, and it can be an amusing view to the private guest.
Summary:
• The west of the building will have intense light in the afternoon and a nice city view at sunset, while the private guest room around the courtyard has weak light. • The right part of the building only has light in the west wall. • The courtyard makes noise to affect low-level private guess space; thus, we need to think about acoustic materials. Another way to avoid the noise is to create a waterfall that can provide white noises, and it also connects with the patio on the second floor as aesthetic aspects. • The guest rooms can see each other on both sides of the court. • The guest rooms only have wind on one side through the balcony and window, which meaning the indoor space is hot when the temperature is high. Furthermore, the smell doesn’t dissipate efficiently. Thus it makes strategic sense to aviod materials like carpeting as a flooring option.

CONCEPT DESIGN The hotel is located in central downtown, surrounded by busy lives and community bustle and noise. Once inside the hotel, the cave can offer people a break from the high-speed world and give them a chance to calm their minds and release their restlessness. A cave is a highly private area, which also allows the business to be conduct securely. Utopia gives people a chance to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the natural origins of the Earth.

PROJECT 02- SITE & BUILDING STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
SITE ANALYSIS The project is located in an office or industry zone, and transportation mainly uses the car. That means the refugees who are living here will have trouble with neighbor's noise. Additionally, they still need to walk through several blocks to reach parks. Thus, if this design can make refugees enjoy the indoor space with green and comfortable environment, it will be a good idea. Furthermore, the design needs to concern the acoustic effect, not because of the zone type but also the adjacent residential and community centers.

BUILDING STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
According to the client’s requirement and the building structure, all the existing walls cannot be demolished except the entrance to the units and openings.

PROJECT 02- CONCEPT DESIGN
Mood Board:
24
Mind Mapping:
CONCEPT DESIGN People are forced to flee the country, which cannot guarantee the security of its own from violence such as robbery, sexual assault, and torture at smugglers' hands. The situation of refugees is like the drowning man struggling in the sea, and he is losing direction and full of fear. He needs a life ring to get him ashore.
The life ring is like a coastal oasis, and he is enclosed in a safe and vibrant place. He is protected; furthermore, he can also help the next refugee to gain his life ring. Thus, the concept of the coastal oasis is saving yourself and helping others. It is this spirit of self-sustainability that guides the existence of this building.

PROJECT 03- CONCEPT DESIGN
Inspiration Images:
CONCEPT DESIGN The project concept is a shield. First, the shield symbolizes protecting the old historic building. Old buildings inevitably have a fragile and worn feel, so the idea is to retain the building's historical sense while giving it a new modern look. The second meaning of the shield is protecting people's health and privacy. What's more, the firm's services aim to help patients prevent. The shield is strong enough to resist damage, and behind it is a soothing and comfortable environment, which is good for patients to relax. In short, the idea is to make them believe the firm is reliable.
