{ EXECUTIVE STATEMENT }
The National building located in the Old Market of Omaha NE is a prime location for a start-up office, retail space and senior living. The Old Market is known for its large variety of outdoor shops and restaurants and the area the Old Market covers is ever increasing. The corner of 13th and Harney is currently lacking in retail space and is surrounded by restaurants and apartments. The addition of an indoor shopping area would benefit the area given the seasonal extremes in temperature experienced in the area.
Commercial Office space is in great demand and The Old Market is a very popular location and is the prime spot for a start-up office space wanting to make a statement. Large windows with lots of natural light will provide an attractive backdrop for the tenants. The program that the current Old Market is currently missing entirely is living options for todays modern senior citizen. With the rise of healthy retirees and the increase in life expectancy, seniors are having a change in what their idea of independent, and assisted living looks and feels like. This building would provide some of the amenities, and the Old Market provides lots of surrounding restaurants and activities within walking distance.
{ OBJECTIVE STATEMENT }
The four story structure will be renovated to have a shopping center on the main level, offices on the lower level and senior living condos on the top two levels. The roof will also be converted into an indoor / outdoor space to be used by the inhabitants of the senior living center.
The shopping center will be a modern functional indoor space to compliment the surrounding businesses. The old market is known for its old-time charm with a vast array of outdoor shops. The indoor shopping center will continue the atmosphere of the old - market but will take people inside to help create a more comfortable shopping experience throughout all the seasons. The lower level will house an office to be used by a startup company. The top levels will be used for a senior living center. It will consist of large luxury condos and the use of research will help ensue design decisions that will better the lifes of the elderly within the space. The roof is structurally sound and will be transformed into an indoor / outdoor space to act as a recreational area for the seniors.

HISTORY & CULTURE
{ HISTORY }
In the early 1900s the Old Market was a series of warehouses that specialized in supplying fruit, vegetables and other food items to retailers throughout the city. Large canopies cantilevered over the wide sidewalks where all the transactions took place. In their book “The Old Market of Omaha,� Samuel and Mark Mercer paint the following picture of its early years:
In the 1880s and 90s, even until the 1950s, the Old Market was a busy place. It was at its busiest between four and seven or eight in the morning. The sidewalks were crammed with crates of tomatoes and oranges, sacks of potatoes and onions, and all sorts of other produce. Vans and trucks were waiting to be loaded. Buyers and sellers were checking invoices. Market workers, merchants and customers crowded the bars and restaurants. Produce dealers lined up to send telegrams at one of two telegraph offices, both situated at
One of the best things about the old market are the sidewalk performers.
{ CULTURE }
ENTERTAINMENT & NIGHTLIFE It is Omaha's oldest part of town preserved with the unique shops that can't be found anywhere else. During summer months, it has a great Farmer's Market, reflecting back to the oldest days of the area. The streets are paved with brick creating a historical prescence. Flower boxes follow the sidewalks overflowing with blossoms that give life to the air. Of course, the smell is often interrupted as you walk by one of the many restaurants. There is a restaurant for every taste palate.The Old Market also has great pubs and taverns most serving great food too.
ART & MUSEUMS The old train depot was transformed into the Durham Western Heritage Museum showing some great exhibits of the areas earliest history. There are several locations where art is on display such as the Artists Cooperative, the Passageway Gallery, and many more.
SIDEWALK PERFORMERS One of the best things about the Old Market is the variety of sidewalk performers dispersed throughout the area. You can have your caricature made, pick up some unique art, or enjoy some music from a variety of musical performances. Sometimes there are also people selling roses or balloon animals inside of the restaurants.

SENIOR LIVING. Finesse the Furniture. Place the major pieces of furniture so they can be used for balance while moving through the room. Keep all pathways clear, particularly if walkers or wheelchairs are necessary. improve Access. Place frequently used items in waist-high cabinets and drawers. Keep phones near beds and sitting areas. Situate lamps for unrestricted access, and ensure switches are easy to operate. Switch dresser knobs to drawer pulls for an easier grip. Prevent Falls. Avoid unsecured rugs. All rugs should be non-slip and contrast in color with the flooring beneath. Rugs can be hazardous and should be avoided. Increase Visibility. Create strong contrasts in color between major pieces of furniture, walls, drapes and floors. Be sure to allow as much natural light as possible into living areas during day time. At night, there should be motion sensor lights between the bed and the bathroom. Create a Fall-proof Bathroom. Place seating in front of the sink and in the shower for easy, comfortable grooming. Install non-slip strips on the shower floor and grab bars near the shower, tub and toilet.

how much time they spend in the building. A lower salary worker who is there sixty percent of the time will get a larger space then the president who is there less.
Collaboration is the new work model. Today people like the benching system and want the walls to be torn down. Each team member has a smaller workstation, but all the workstations are put into a wagon train formation. Instead of having a conference room down the hall, the conference room is in the middle of the workstations. Coworkers are just close enough to overhear each other talking to encourage more collaboration.
Collaboration
Private Enclaves instead of everyone having their own workstation, today people want pint-sized enclaves with a door with lounge furniture, a desk, a computer connection, and a phone connection that is shared with about four to five people. That’s where team members go when they need time to look through notes, or do research on their computers.
People are beginning to accept the idea that employees don’t have to be at their desks to be productive. Instead some employees are much less tied to their designated desk space. When workers come into the office they need a touchdown spot. The activities it supports are e-mail, voice mail, and a charging, touching down.
Touchdown Spaces
less Walls The type of space being marketed is changing. Clients are looking for flexibility, which translates into lower construction costs. Forty percent of the space in offices requires a lot of drywall. Going to fewer than 17 percent private offices cut drywall costs.
Incorporation technology into todays office space is crucial. We now use technology for all aspects of our lives and the office is one of the main areas. Live video conference calls and portable devices make technology an important design aspect of office design.

Creative retailers want stores that are using technology. Some stores are starting to use interactive screens in dressing rooms. This gives shoppers an easier way to communicate with attendants, find available colors, locate out-of-stock items, and browse coordinating garments, accessories, and shoes. There is also a trend in the mobile type of checkout.
Common to many mall renovations is attention to outdoor spaces and entertainment options. Outdoor space is increasingly seen as an asset that can be used for concerts, how-to workshops, and other events to draw in customers and keep them at the site for a longer period of time.
Today’s people seek out and respond to shopping experiences that are somehow “special.� Local relevance and uniqueness are draws, whether the offering is artisanal cheese or handmade hats.
Authenticity
Retro Retail environments are trying to give shoppers an immersive interaction experience. Shoppers are encouraged to interact with the space and the products. Users like to know how the product feels in their hands and it is good to initiate all the senses within a space.
User Interaction
Retro versions of consumer packaged goods have grown increasingly popular over the years. Companies have learned this is a way to reconnect with consumers through emotion. It is much more costly to build a retro style store, but it might just pay off by creating nostalgic spaces that consumers want to linger in.

50+ Vision
Normal Vision
AGING EYES When designers for seniors one must consider how to go about designing a color environment for people who see very differently from you? Cells in the retina that are responsible for normal color vision decline in sensitivity as we age, causing colors to become less bright and the contrast between different colors to be less noticeable. In particular, blue colors may appear faded or washed out.
BRIGHT
CALMING
Colors should be bright for elderly people because of their loss of vision. Brighter colors also bounce more wavelengths of light back to the eye than duller colors.
Colors should be calming. The process of moving into a new environment can be stressful, so you want to make it as calming as possible.

Aging eyes cannot distinguish between blues and greens. Only use these colors as accents against a primarily red or gold palette.
Low saturation colors quickly turn toward black and white as vision ages while high saturation colors maintain a high degree of visual vibrancy.
{ RETAIL }
“People buy more when there is red.”
“Highlight rather than overpower your product. Be careful not to drown out what you're selling by immersing it in too much color.”
“Warm colors like oranges and browns are inviting and reassuring to shoppers, while cooling colors like green and blue can have a calming effect.”
“Colors can increase brand recognition by 80 percent.”
In retail, you want the merchandise to pop and not the surroundings.
"Orange makes you happy," And happy customers are more likely to linger longer in your store.”
“Alert your shoppers to certain products. Bright colors like yellow and red grab customers’ attention, stopping them in their tracks before they breeze by a product display. “
{ OFFICE }
Choose colors that will best suit the type of work going on in the space.
“BLUE stimulates the mind, YELLOW inspires creativity, RED affects your body and GREEN creates a calming balance. “
“You will be better inspired with new ideas and concepts if you are surrounded by a playful and happy shade of yellow.“
“Highly saturated, bright colors will stimulate while softer, muted colors will soothe.”
“Red is known for reducing critical and analytical thinking. An office is a place for problem-solving and intelligent productivity.”

After seemingly exhausting all of their options, Atria Assisted Living Facility of Encinitas California came to my studio for help. They were working with a limited budget that prevented large construction, but the poor layout and outdated facilities call for a change, a change that no professional they approached could provide. This assisted living facility has two buildings (Atria North and Atria South) separated by a busy highway, which was a large drain on staff and funds. It was filled with spaces that didn’t meet ADA standards, as well as large and small areas that weren’t being utilized well. To put it plainly, it provided an outdated and uncomfortable lifestyle. On top of this, they were losing clients to a modern facility down the road. To address their problem my group of three developed a complete set of documents for all five floors.

Movet is a conveyer belt manufacturer in Germany. Panels of aluminium mesh also enclose and seperate spaces throughout this industrial design. The mesh creates a corridor that runs between the platform and a row of desks for the company’s employees. I like how this design is open plan but still maintains a sense of boundaries. “It has a subtle filter effect for the open-plan space,� said the designer. A raised platform in the centre of the office forms an open-plan meeting room and kitchen for employees that also serves as a showroom for clients, with conveyor-belt elements displayed on white displays around the room.
