The goal of Roy’s design was to combine southwestern desert motifs along with a touch of contemporary minimalism. Taking influence from Donald Judd and his iconic use of simple planes and harsh geometry, Yonder’s clubhouse, bath house, and tiny homes come together to create a haven in the heart of Zion National Park.
Yonder’s site spans nearly 10 acres of desert, that will ultimately flow to form a nomadic community during Zion’s peak travel times. While providing a level of luxury typically unassociated with trailer travel, Yonder’s sophisticated attention to hospitality detail will make it a destination retreat. Compromised of four major zones, the
idea behind Yonder’s budget-friendly accommodation options is to provide for anyone braving the harsh desert conditions. The site is separated into four zones- a clubhouse area, which includes a self-serve bar and ammenity station, a bath house area, the tiny home communities, and the trailer drive-up parkways.

CLUBHOUSE
TINY HOUSE The tiny homes at Yonder serve as the primary dwelling units for overnight guests. Each home has a maximum 4-guest capacity, with a queen bed and fold-out lounge. The featured ammenities of tiny home stays include full access to clubhouse cooking supplies and indredients, pool and firepit areas, as well as bath house priveledges.
3
The Roy team put particular effort into designing tiny homes that felt thoughtful without seeming overindulgent. Yonder aims to make all guests feel equal on their grounds, whether staying in a personal trailer, rented airstream, or tiny home community.
Yonder’s clubhouse is the gateway into the rest of the park’s grounds. Acting as the formal reception and check-in, this is the first impression guests recieve when staying with Yonder. Neutral colorways, natural materials, and bare-bone construction add to the calm, deserted feeling of the resort.
BATH HOUSE A corten steel and concrete exterior houses Yonder’s bath house ammenities. Novel indoor-outdoor showers feature custom-scented steam functions, while fully private bathrooms and large vanity spaces allow for travellers to feel as though the comforts of home can be found here in the middle of the desert.

PABU Nashville is a Mina restaurant group undertaking, adding to the growing number of PABU fine dining restaurants across the United States. Roy’s goal through this design was to approach existing Japanese design language in a fun, millenial-inspired way. A slight departure from existing PABU concepts, PABU Nashville will
5
use commonly known Japanese shapes and experiment with atypical repetitions and proportions. Instead of reproducing identifiable motifs, Roy decided to utilize geometry and color to evoke a sense of place inside the restaurant. White oak paneling is featured in a large tatami-mat inspired wall structure, while formed concrete along back
walls nods towards the industrialization of modern Japan. Detail items like raku-fired artwork and shou-sugi ban treated wood help to emphasize the space’s footing in Japanese traditions, and provides a platform to experiment with more modern ideas of what a brand-name restaurnt can be. PABU Nashville is set to be completed in January 2020.

Materiality was of the utmost importance to MINA Group, and Roy wanted to incorporate various layers into the pallette used at PABU Nashville. The hard surfaces in the space, such as tiled walls and floors, provided the perfect opportunity to reflect the repetition used so often in Japanese culture and
spiritual practices. Much of the textiles used in seating areas feature shibori-dyed denim, hand-dyed in small batches to give each bolt section a unique pattern. This plays up the delicate contrast between soft and hard, geometric and organic. It also allows for a touch of color in an otherwise neutral pallete.

Hazy Barbecue is a casual concept restaurant making its flagship debut in Danville, California. With the purpose of bringing Texas-style barbecue to the Bay Area, the owners of Hazy wanted a space for all members of the diverse Danville community to be able to enjoy a good meal in a comfortable, warm
9
atmosphere. Roy’s design team wanted to combine highly textural materials with colors that allude to classic southwestern cook-outs to create a specific interior brand identity for Hazy. In addition to these motifs, Roy also found space to add a custom wall mural custom lighting elements to further the brand.

Brand identity influenced many of the design decisions Roy made inside of Hazy’s flagship restaurant. With sights set on growing Hazy into a larger franchise, Roy included easily identifiable brand touchpoints throughout the interior that can be easily reproduced when designing for new buildings.
Accenting smaller areas with a repetitive, bold brand pattern helped to give personality to all corners of the space, while the custom Mount Diablo mural in the dining area helps reference the company’s Danville roots. Paired with strong visuals on takeaway items, Roy helped Hazy prepare for all future expansions.

WELCOME TO
EST. 2017 Piegato is a crepe + coffee restaurant in downtown Detroit, overtaking the abandoned Franklin architectural materials building. Located on the Detroit riverfront, Piegato serves as a destination for fine foods and coffees from local sellers and co-ops. With the goal of adapting an old building for new uses, Piegato aimed to seamlessly transition what was once decrepid and ugly into something vibrantly urban. Ultimately, Piegato reflects the personality of the once crestfallen city of Detroit newly overtaken by a generation of millenials.

FLOORPLANS The inspiration for Piegato’s floorplan began with the idea of a European street - casual seating around the edges with a central core running right down the middle. The entry is open to the full scope of the dining area, compromised of two main zones.
15
The first zone is the cafe, which includes the full-service coffee bar furnished with a house name brand of coffee products (p.12 bottom). The second major zone is the main dining area, or the ‘central spine’ of the floorplate. Running along that spine is a
mirrored set of banquettes, cut into four sections and serving as the main focal point of the space. Four secondary zones also exist: the east bar, the back dining area, the patio dining, and the mezzanine level dining area.

PIEGATO AS A BRAND Piegato’s dual-function as a restaurnat and coffee shop offers unique opportunities for branding. To take advantage of this, Piegato will offer an array of coffee and food products for retail in the front, where classically trained baristas can guide customers to exactly what they need. The large merchandise wall located adjacent to the cafe seating area lets Piegato dedicate a specific area to their retail, focusing a customer directly on all of the possible items to purchase. Individual retail items, such as the coffee, feature a hint of Detroit flair; the Bricktown Blend is named for the Bricktown district that Piegato is located in, while the simple syrups all get their names from different motown icons. Nods to Detroit are also found in their weekly specials pegboard, where seasonal crepes are named after Ford’s famous Model T and iconic local landmarks like the Detroit Iron Fist.

The Depot aims to take ownership of the city of Detroit’s abandoned past, and with it, create something unique to the millennial generation reclaiming it. Using Michigan Central Station as it’s platform, The Depot will make a large statement about the future of Detroit and the type of style that is slowly shaping it. Working in tandem with the site’s original architecture and design detailing, The Depot tries to implement the urban occurrences of repetitive geometric shape and blunt color alongside the infamous ornate features of 20’s-era industrial design. By featuring things like local small businesses on the Third Rail Cafe menu and displaying artwork Detroit is most famous for- graffiti- The Depot will take the idea of a hotel experience to an uncharted new level. By staying at The Depot, guests from across the globe will get a glimpse at the future of Detroit. *selected- 2018 Ruth Davis juried showcase

MICHIGAN CENTRAL N STATION O I T A T S
Located at 2001 15th Street in the heart of downtown, MCS has been affectionately known to locals as ‘the waffle house’, for its knocked-out windows on both the north and south sides. The last departing train left the station in 1989, but the building had been slowly shutting down long before that. Commissioned alongside Grand Central Station in New York, MCS was never fully finished after the main floor was built.
FLOORPLAN

The Depot’s main dining area, Third Rail Café, was designed with the purpose of being a destination for both tourists and locals alike. With Michigan Central Station’s ideal location downtown, home to four seperate college campuses, Third Rail’s comfortable seating contrasted with harsh colors create an atmosphere that empowers the creative spirit in everyone. Detroit’s rugged personality comes to life and celebrates how different it is from other large cities. The branding of the hotel was equally as important as the design inside, acting as a parallel piece of design work that shaped the identity of the hotel against all other downtown hotels. Creating a brand that featured iconic local art was a necessity, and in choosing the yellow graffiti monster, The Depot hints at the more playful side of a very blunt, straightforeward concept.
24
The guest rooms in The Depot are meant to feel spacious and comfortable, while maintaining some of the motifs and patterns used in the downstairs lobby and dining area. By zoning enough space for a kitchenette, living space, as well as a private bedroom, guests at The Depot will experience the new type of luxury Detroit has to offer. To add more individual character to the guest suites, small pieces of reclaimed Detroit history are featured. The yellow traincar doors to MCS’s old trains were taken off their hinges and featured as roll-shut pocket doors to the bedroom, and Heidelberg Project pianos were refurbished and placed inside the living areas.

ENTRY
FLOORPLAN The staff at UW Credit Union’s e-commerce center wanted a friendly, easily-navigable layout with a fresh, enjoyable atmosphere. Spending the majority of their days on the phone or looking at a computer screen, they needed zones with good acoustics and comfortable, personalized work spaces that could encourage them to get throguh the work day. Specifying multiple types of desks aided in creating unique work spaces, allowing employees who would normally sit from 9-5 to instead stand or walk while working. In addition to these requests, the employees also wanted areas where they could forget about work- respite spaces where they could wind down and relax. A separate lunch area, a fireplace seating space, and three hammock lounges all work to provide workers with the public and private break areas they need.

COME HOME TO
517vermont Located in DuPont Circle, the apartment at 517 Vermont was developed with raw materials and a delicate pallette in mind. The goal with this concept was to express the ways in which heavy form could be coupled with gentler tones, conveying a sense of groudedness while still maintaining an airy atmosphere within the space.
517 Vermont is an old building with a strong architectural foundation. By keeping certain characteristics of the original design, the dichotomy between old and new becomes a prominent creative statement. Original window webbing creates a unique sense of formality in the living room, where softer textures and quiet colors were added to make the space feel more approachable. Existing geometric walnut floors express a particular type of east coast rigidity, while circular tile patterns and freeform lighting fixtures help articulate a design that celebrates the intersection of structured and organic materialiy.
This concept culminated in a space that balances bold shape with tame neutrality, offering D.C. residents a new way to appreciate historical architecture alongside modern design.

Artwork was a major driver behind the design detailing choices that were made in this project. By choosing pieces based in the hyperrealistic realm of thought, the doors opened to build forms that pushed the boundaries of typical construction.
KITCHEN
Hammock-shaped stools get their shape from the bar they’re beneath, while the bar is supported by a custom slab intended to mirror the silhouette of the fireplace floor stone. Each shape within the space was chosen with another in mind.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
SMALL SPACES The apaprtment at 517 Vermont is a new form of modern luxury, and the small spaces within provide designers with opportunities to execute big ideas that redefine what people think of as luxurious. Bathrooms are often the last area 35
to get attention, but they remain one of the most-used rooms in a building. For 517 Vermont, it was one of the first areas designed. A simple vanity leaves little space for unsightly clutter, while a pairing of patterns on the walls and floors
distracts from the existing bathroom’s size constraints. The final design evokes a sense of calming softness that draws your eye to each small detail in the room.

HK HANNAH KING
Furniture and industrial design are two fields that have heavy influence on the evolution of architecture and interior architecture. By taking time to better understand these fields, interior architects can attempt to predict future trends for the wider scope of the design world. Backbone is the centerpiece of
a line of bar-height furniture; minimalistic in nature and simple in material selection. By taking a bar-height chair and recreating it to fit more current needs- like office desks as well as it’s original bar counter function, Backbone takes a new stance on furniture application and crossover.
The goal with the backbone high lounge was to create wonder around how the chair was supported, leaving the user with a curiousity about the structure of the form. It’s shape is taken from the simplest form of a spine; your backbone.
 � ��
 � �
IDEATION The thought process for Backbone started with the idea for a dual-furniture line, LB and RB. LB, or “Left Brain�, was intended to be a line for the analytical thinker. Someone who clearly appreciated simple stucture that could also stand out. With a streamlined materials palette, LB was going to be a modern answer to design problems in both upscale residential and commercial office projects. RB, or “Right Brain�, was the exact opposite of LB. It was a concept based on emphasising the whimsicality of a piece of furniture, with a lot of added stucture organic in nature and idea. A line for the modern hippie, RB was intended to offer pieces of a sentimental nature to projects more hospitality and residentially-based. LB was the line that moved into further developmental phases, and eventually became Backbone.

HANNAH
“Design is taking a seed of inspiration and translating it into a tangible space for generations to enjoy. Being able to understand a building’s history and envision a new future for it is what drives my desire to develop into a better designer. Taking spaces forgotten by society and transforming them into revitalized centers for an entire community is proof that designers can make a difference.�
