“Home is grounded in our relationships”

This Multi-Family Housing structure will be designed for recently retired citizens and empty nesters who are able-bodied and looking for a home away from home. This is a viable user group because the Baby Boomer Generation is reaching retirement age and looking to start this new stage of life. Creating a home-like environment for all that stay whether that be for a shorter or longer period of time, offers flexibility and an option to age in place if the resident so pleases. The unit will feature comfortable public spaces, cozy private spaces, and plenty of gathering space for loved ones inside and outside of the complex. By doing so, there are a plethora of opportunities for taking in the urban center culture while still feeling a sense of belonging. There will be an overall darker, moody color scheme in this complex to bring the volume of the space in and enforce intimacy, and a lighter palette will assist with wayfinding. Prioritizing the incorporation of textures over color in the units will provide a base layer leaving room for personalization and space for important objects holding stories, traditions, and culture. The addition of this complex will draw more community into downtown areas and present retirees with a convenient, easily accessible, and comfortable way of living.

BRINGING WORKPLACE WELLNESS FORWARD.

FourGround connects the dense population of downtown Lincoln and the accessibility to healthy urban living through the addition of a wellness-centered coworking space. This multi-level building will feature a variety of health-conscious amenities to be utilized by the entirety of the downtown area including students, young professionals and businesspeople, work-from-home persons, and those staying in Lincoln for a short time at a nearby hotel. Some amenities include a full kitchen, a weight room, yoga and fitness studios, a grocery store, a clean ingredient café, decompression rooms, and a plethora of workspaces to choose from. The array of wellness factors in addition to the coworking space opens the surrounding location up to new possibilities of collaboration, connection, conversation, and forming a sense of community regardless of individual background.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Formulate furniture arrangements based on inspiring connection. This will be achieved through socially comfortable groupings, flexibility with transformation, and intentional pushing and pulling of zones.

Craft an easy to follow circulation path and base zoning around distance, visual clarity, and noise levels.

Allow public amenities to be easily located and, mostly, separate from the workspace. This will be accomplished through a consistent material palette with differing emphasis elements dependant on location to enforce the separation of function, yet unification of the building as a whole.

Revitalize connections, collaboration, conversations, and a sense of community through intentional design moves that influence a positive energy around the workplace.

Visitors of Home Grown will pursue a sensory environment within the Haymarket. Home Grown influences people to stop and enjoy, learn, and create. Biophilic design and heavy emphasis in ones own experience inspired me to take my project to a different level by incorporating the senses, the physical, and the mental journey throughout the space. The public market within the space promotes healthy ways of living through recipes, mental and physical self-care, and educational references to the process of food production, health, and sustainability. The public market will promote all natural selfcare products, grown and made within the building. All of these products and experiences are shared under a common tranquil place of gathering, educating, and a mirror of the natural environment.

Working at WAYS Interiors for two winter seasons now has given me a realistic view of the design world. I learned about budgeting, effective communication with clients, and the material selection process. Here are some pictures I documented during my time at WAYS.

The Cabin Renovation

In 2019, the Platte River flood led to extensive damage to the surrounding lake communities. I spent the following 2 years rebuilding this second home with my dad. These pictures capture some of the developmental pieces of our journey.
