This means that they are unable to take care of their physical and mental health. • health problems include likeliness of headaches, gastrointestinal, gynecologic and panic related symptoms. • There are many psychological conditions that are effects of sexual abuse, such as anxiety or mood disorders and changes in eating patterns and constant stuggles with body image.

In the United States, Alaska has the highest rate of domestic abuse with 59% of women experiencing abuse in their lifetime. In addition, women in rural areas are less likely to reach out for formal help with sexual violence due to lack of resources. Accordingly, Frontier Family is located in a rural district in Alaska where there is a need for safe housing and services. The natural surroundings provide a sense of peace and solitude which will aid in healing.

design icons. Community: By creating communal spaces, it forces people to get out of their comfort zones and allow for interactions with the other residents. Privacy: Creating opportunities for private moments allow for victims to have time to themselves or provide areas for large group interactions through design and layout. Color theory: Using cool colors are easier for the eye to perceive which gives them a more restful appearance. However, incorporating pinks give a more feminine feel and warm tones give the space energy and excitement.
Place attachment: Creating a safe environment for women and children to develop a emotional bond between person and place. Safety: The space needs to be a safe place that evoke feelings of security and comfort, since victims are escaping from dangerous situations. Design and color can have an effect on residents and their emotions and behaviors. Independence: The space will provide services and spaces for residents to grow and gain a sense of independence and healing.

CUSTOM OBJECT
Custom Bunk Bed for Double Rooms The bunk bed design provides each occupant a designated space to sleep while offering privacy due to the offset openings to the living space. Individual reading lamps allow for personalization and a quiet space to relax. The materials were selected to create the impression of a built in and a trundle was added to increase room occupancy without taking away floor space when not in use.
